How many times a day should a hot compress be applied for epididymitis?
It is generally recommended to do this three to five times. Meanwhile, physical therapies like heat application can only alleviate symptoms. The core treatment still involves symptomatic supportive care. It is advised to visit the urology department as soon as possible for comprehensive examinations, such as an ultrasound and tests on prostate fluid or epididymal fluid. Following the results, the next steps can be planned. Regularly rest, pay attention to diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, adjust your mindset, and maintain a good mood. At the same time, actively pursue anti-inflammatory treatment. With proper control, recovery can often be quick, followed by regular reviews.
Can uremia be cured?
First, it is necessary to clarify the cause and the severity, so it is important to visit the nephrology department for comprehensive tests. Once the cause is determined, the next steps can be planned based on the results, and dialysis may be necessary if required. If there is no improvement, treatments such as kidney transplantation can be considered. It is also crucial to rest, avoid fatigue, reduce activities, especially strenuous activities, maintain a positive mood, adjust your mentality, and have regular follow-ups. Therefore, this issue needs to be actively addressed, as it can be very troublesome to manage and the prognosis may be very poor if not taken seriously.
Difference between prostate cyst and hyperplasia
The distinction between prostate cysts and hyperplasia lies in the fact that the former is a benign tumor and pathological, while the latter is physiological.With increasing age, particularly in elderly individuals, hyperplasia can occur. Therefore, it is essential first to determine the cause before treatment, such as undergoing an ultrasound, and in severe cases, a biopsy may be required.If the cyst is benign and either asymptomatic or small, periodic observation might be sufficient. However, for hyperplasia, conservative treatment such as oral medications is recommended initially. If the hyperplasia severely affects urination, surgical intervention may be necessary.
What is inside a prostate cyst?
Cysts are generally benign, possibly containing fluid and cystic fluid, etc. Therefore, if symptoms occur, it is recommended to visit the urology department for further examinations. When necessary, a biopsy through aspiration might be needed. Subsequently, follow-up plans should be based on the results. If confirmed, it is advisable to have surgical removal. Regular rest and attention to diet, avoiding spicy and irritating foods, avoiding overwork, reducing activity, especially strenuous activity, and making necessary adjustments are recommended. However, if there is suspicion of malignancy, active surgical intervention is needed to prevent further harm.
How is a uterine prolapse surgery performed?
Regarding how to perform surgery for uterine prolapse, first, we must define what uterine prolapse is. It mainly refers to the descent from the normal position through the vagina, with the external cervix reaching below the level of the ischial spines, or even completely protruding outside the vaginal opening, which is called uterine prolapse. Therefore, preoperative assessments need to be conducted before surgery to check for inflammation and other methods. Then, there are two types of treatments: surgical and non-surgical. Non-surgical treatment mainly includes pelvic floor muscle exercises and physical therapy such as placing a uterine pessary. Surgical treatment involves surgical intervention based on the location of the prolapse.
Can people with albinism have eye surgery?
Generally, it is possible. Because people with albinism have eyes that are more sensitive to light, mainly because albinism affects the sclera and eyeballs, leading to this condition. However, surgery cannot restore the lost pigmentation in the eyeballs, meaning it is impossible to change the alterations on the eyeballs. It is necessary to prevent strong sunlight exposure, and the only option is to wear sunglasses, which can also reduce the stimulation of ultraviolet rays to the eyes, protect the eyes, reduce external damage, and ensure one can live normally as much as possible. Additionally, this type of disease may lead to malignant skin diseases and other issues due to prolonged exposure to sunlight.
Can a prostate cyst heal by itself?
For prostate cysts, they generally cannot heal on their own. Although the cysts are benign, active treatment is still necessary. It's recommended to visit the urology department to complete relevant examinations, such as a biopsy to clarify the diagnosis. If there are no symptoms, conservative treatment may be sufficient. However, if there are severe symptoms like frequent urination, painful urination, or the presence of blood in urine, active surgical intervention is required to prevent other discomforts. Additionally, rest, diet, keeping the area clean and dry, changing dressings regularly, and taking antibiotics if necessary to control infections are important.
Causes of intestinal obstruction
The causes of intestinal obstruction include factors external to the intestine and those originating from the intestine itself. External factors are mainly adhesions and bands of adhesions that cause intussusception or volvulus, thereby leading to intestinal obstruction. Congenital adhesive bands are common in children. Adhesions resulting from abdominal surgery or intra-abdominal inflammatory lesions are the most common causes of adult intestinal obstruction, although a minority of patients may have no history of abdominal surgery or inflammation. Additionally, incarcerated external or internal hernias may also cause intestinal obstruction. Furthermore, tumors external to the intestine or abdominal compression can also lead to obstruction.
