When Doing a Mammogram?

Tuesday, August 24th, 2010

MAMOGRAF

Squeeze a little to rule out any nipple discharge.
Palpation

The woman must be lying

The arm of the breast to explore should be placed behind the head and felt with the opposite hand with fingers fully extended. If you find something that looked strange, will be explored at the same level the opposite breast and compared. Do not forget the armpits to feel any lumps however small.

If during these maneuvers will find some alteration, should not be alarmed, but contact your gynecologist.

Diagnostic methods

- Finally, when doing a mammogram? Are its radiations harmful?. At 35 years should have a mammogram call “DB” in order to put images with which to compare future. After forty years, should get a mammogram at least every two years. Before age 35, by the special characteristics of the breast at the time, often more useful ultrasound, although the doctor will assess the most appropriate in each case. With mammography has been made to detect cancers in early stages that had not yet given clinical symptoms. It has proven to be a safe technique with minimal radiation risk.

If a lesion was detected by fine needle aspiration or biopsy, get a sample of it that will be decisive for the type of operation performed.

In recent years the number of cases of breast cancer has been increasing and many of them if they had caught earlier would not have claimed the lives of many patients. That is why it now considers the early diagnosis of breast cancer is the most important factor in reducing the mortality from the disease. Yet this does not intend to frighten, but to get a proper diagnosis of benign and malignant diseases of the breast.

In summary, the most important thing is to make a correct early detection of breast cancer to achieve healing of it and a good prognosis. Know that you play a key role in controlling their health. The person who best knows his mom is you, therefore, is best placed to detect changes in it.

Separate Two Adult Conjoined Twins

Tuesday, July 20th, 2010

siam

A medical team consisting of more than one hundred people in Singapore yesterday launched the first surgery is performed to separate two adult conjoined twins. These are the Iranians Ladan and Laleh Bijani, who have 29 years joined at the head and trunk. The marathon operation will last, according to experts, a minimum of 48 hours, but could be extended to four days. The twins share an artery that supplies blood to their brains, why they rejected German experts in 1996 to perform this operation.
The sisters, graduates in law from Tehran University, said they were willing to face death or any other consequence of this operation so as to have the opportunity to lead independent lives. “If God wants us to live the rest of our lives as two separate individuals, we will,” Ladan Bijani said. “We’ve never had much confidence as now, we are willing to assume all risks,” he said.

The girls arrived in Singapore last November with the hope that the medical team led by neurosurgeon Keith Goh of Singapore, the same professional in 2001 successfully separated two Nepalese babies, Ganga and Jamuna Shrestha, joined at the head. That procedure was performed at the Singapore General Hospital and lasted 97 hours. A team of German doctors had refused in 1996 to carry out this type of operation, which they considered too risky because the patients share an artery that supplies blood to their brains.
