Testimony: the diagnosis is like a ghost, and the cancer comes alive, it's not a secret – Intimate – Woman

Unfortunately, in Latvia, men continue to avoid prostate cancer screening because they do not know how they are doing, they fear to make a difficult diagnosis because they do not know that they can cure and even cure prostate cancer and they do not know the treatment itself. In addition, many people feel that the treatment of prostate cancer in a man's life will have irreversible consequences and side effects that will affect the rest of his life. But is it really? In order to reverse and refute the myths about prostate cancer, to encourage and motivate Latvian men to deal with the treated disease, as well as to become familiar with its treatment process, to the end of the month of men's health, doctors, patients and public organizations have agreed to negotiate life after the diagnosis of prostate cancer.

Urologist: A visit to the doctor is not humiliating, but only 7% of men go there.

Prostate cancer is today treated successfully. According to the board member of the Urological Association of Latvia, the head of the PSKUS urology center, urologist Juris Plonis, states that prostate cancer has succeeded to deal in a timely manner:

"The average age of prostate cancer is 65 to 69, even though it was 70 to 70 years old, which means that more and more young men are developing prostate cancer.

Every year in Latvia, there are 1,000 to 1,200 young patients. This is 1 in 1000 men, which is far from our Latvian population. Every year 300 to 400 men die of prostate cancer in Latvia, although in reality, no one should die of it. Early diagnosis and professional treatment are many drugs that can help you cope with this disease quickly and successfully.

Today, in Latvia, different treatment options can be adapted to the individual needs of patients. When planning a prostate cancer treatment plan, the doctor definitely takes into account the course of the disease, its rate of progression, the age of the patient and the patient. general state of health. What I suggest to remember is that after each important treatment, the treatment of prostate cancer can have consequences, but they are not irreversible and can be minimized through appropriate treatment and re-education. "

One of the most important things that many ignore – even if a diagnosis of prostate cancer is made, often no medical manipulation should be initiated immediately, but regular visits to the doctor and cancer should be monitored. 10-15 years ago, reading the Cancer Guidelines Worldwide, a term like active observation or deferred treatment did not exist yet. This concept first appeared about 10 years ago, when doctors noticed that prostate cancer, unlike other malignant tumors, was relatively benign and slow progress. A significant proportion of patients whose tumor is not treated but actively monitored survives until age 15 or older. As a Dr. In astronomy, an active observing method is possible and useful if the tumor is detected at an early stage, and so on. the composition is in favor of active observation. Unfortunately, at the time of the installation of the diagnosis, no patient will be interviewed and will not visit her urologist every three months and will not submit to the necessary examinations. Therefore, active observation is only possible with the patient's active involvement and persistence by regularly remembering and going for medical examinations and pbading blood tests.
