Surgical complications are an inevitable aspect of medical practice, yet they remain a powerful teacher. As Atul Gawande aptly states in Complications, “The great challenge in surgery is not just whether the surgeon can operate, but whether he should.” This reflects the balance every surgeon must strike between risk and benefit. Complications test our decision-making, skills, and resolve, driving us to improve systems and outcomes. By learning from every case, fostering teamwork, and prioritizing patient safety, we ensure that even in adversity, progress prevails.

🌟 September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month 🌟
As a Urologic Oncologist, I often see patients with elevated PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) levels during routine check-ups. If this happens to you, here’s what comes next:

Step 1: We’ll review your medical history to see if factors like infections or recent activities might explain the high PSA.

Step 2: Repeating the PSA test may be necessary to confirm the elevation.

Step 3: A Digital Re**al Exam (DRE) helps detect any lumps or abnormalities in the prostate. It’s quick and done with minimal discomfort.

Step 4: We’ll consider your age and PSA trends. A rising PSA could be more concerning.

Step 5: If needed, we’ll do additional tests like:

Prostate MRI for a closer look.
Prostate Biopsy to check for cancer or other conditions.

Early detection is key to managing prostate health! If you or someone you know is facing elevated PSA levels, consulting a qualified Urologist is crucial.

Stay informed, stay healthy. 💙

Bladder cancer awareness month

What to Expect After Being Diagnosed with a Urinary Bladder Tumor ?

Receiving a diagnosis of a urinary bladder tumor can be overwhelming and unsettling. Understanding what to expect and the steps involved in managing this condition can help you navigate the journey with greater confidence and clarity.

Understanding Your Diagnosis

A urinary bladder tumor occurs when abnormal cells in the bladder grow uncontrollably. These tumors can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). A Urologist will perform various tests to determine the nature and stage of the tumor, which is crucial for planning the appropriate treatment.
Diagnostic Procedures

1. Cystoscopy:A thin, tube with a camera is inserted through the urethra to visualize the bladder lining and take biopsies if necessary.
2. Imaging Tests:CT scans, MRI, and ultrasound may be used to get a detailed view of the bladder and surrounding organs.
3. Biopsy:A tissue sample from the tumor is examined under a microscope to determine if it is cancerous and to identify the type and grade of cancer.

Treatment Options

The treatment plan for a urinary bladder tumor depends on various factors, including the type, grade, and stage of the tumor, as well as your overall health and preferences. Common treatment options include:

1. Transurethral Resection of Bladder Tumor (TURBT):
- A common procedure for removing tumors confined to the bladder’s inner layers. It involves inserting a scope through the urethra to remove the tumor.

2. Intravesical Therapy:
- Medications are directly instilled into the bladder to target cancer cells. This is often used for non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer.

3. Radical Cystectomy:
- Surgical removal of the entire bladder may be necessary for muscle-invasive bladder cancer. This procedure might include the removal of nearby lymph nodes and parts of the urethra.

4. Chemotherapy:
- Systemic treatment using drugs to kill cancer cells. It can be used before surgery (neoadjuvant) to shrink the tumor or after surgery (adjuvant) to kill remaining cancer cells.

5. Radiation Therapy:
- High-energy beams are used to target and destroy cancer cells. It can be an alternative to surgery in certain cases.

6. Immunotherapy:
- Treatments that stimulate your immune system to fight cancer. Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) therapy is a common immunotherapy for bladder cancer.

A urinary bladder tumor diagnosis is a significant life event, but with comprehensive treatment plan and support system, many people continue to lead fulfilling lives.

Stay informed, actively participate in your care, and reach out for support when needed.

**Top Tips for Healthy Urinary Habits**

Maintaining good urinary health is crucial for overall well-being. Here are some simple yet effective tips to keep your urinary system in top shape:

1. **Stay Hydrated:** Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Aim for 6-8 glasses to help flush out toxins and prevent infections.

2. **Practice Good Hygiene:** Clean the ge***al area daily and always wipe from front to back after using the restroom to prevent infections.

3. **Don’t Hold It In:** Regularly empty your bladder when you feel the urge to go. Holding urine for too long can weaken the bladder muscles and increase the risk of infections.

4. **Limit Irritants:** Cut down on caffeine, alcohol, and spicy foods as they can irritate the bladder and cause frequent urination.

5. **Stay Active:** Regular physical activity can help maintain a healthy weight and reduce the risk of urinary incontinence.

6. **Kegel Exercises:** Strengthen your pelvic floor muscles with Kegel exercises to improve bladder control and prevent incontinence.

7. **Avoid Bladder Irritants:** Reduce the intake of artificial sweeteners, carbonated drinks, and acidic foods, which can irritate the bladder.

8. **Mind Your Diet:** Eat a balanced diet rich in fiber to avoid constipation, which can put pressure on the bladder.

9. **Quit Smoking:** Smoking can increase the risk of bladder cancer and other urinary problems. Seek help to quit if you smoke.

10. **Regular Check-ups:** Schedule regular visits with your healthcare provider to monitor your urinary health and catch any issues early.

Taking these steps can go a long way in ensuring your urinary system stays healthy. If you experience any persistent symptoms or have concerns, don't hesitate to consult with a healthcare professional.

Stay healthy and take care!

May is Urinary Bladder cancer awareness month.
Over the next few days, I will be discussing a few aspects of this dreaded cancer.

Blood in urine is never normal and needs to be investigated. This singular awareness point can save many from advanced bladder cancer. If a bladder tumour is detected early complete cure is possible and the urinary bladder can be saved. If detected early ,removal of tumor with medicine ( BCG/ Mitomycin) instillations into bladder along with regular checks are in order.

If detected at a more advanced stage, it needs bladder removal done usually through robot assisted surgery. Chemotherapy will be required in many cases of advanced bladder cancer.

If you know someone who has these symptoms of blood in urine, DONT neglect it.

As a Uro Oncology professional I am closely involved with these patients and strive to do my best for them .

Stay aware. Knowledge is power!
