Waking up with a hoarse voice every morning? 😣
Feeling discomfort when swallowing?
Don’t brush it off — it could be more than a simple flu or throat infection! 🚨
In its early stage, throat cancer can be silent😱
No pain, no major symptoms
But over time, you may notice:
⚠️ Persistent sore throat or cough
⚠️ Difficulty swallowing
⚠️ Voice changes or hoarseness
⚠️ Lump or swelling in the neck
It’s more common among people who:
🚬 Smoke or drink alcohol frequently
🍜 Have acid reflux or eat late at night often
🦠 Or are exposed to HPV infection
The best thing you can do is not to wait
If your throat discomfort lasts more than two weeks
see a doctor for a simple examination or scope check👨🏻‍⚕️
Early detection makes treatment much easier 💙

🧬 Does a High Tumor Marker Mean Cancer? 😱
Ever looked at your health report and saw terms like AFP, CEA, or CA125
and had no idea what they meant? 🫨
Don’t worry — you’re not alone!
And most importantly —
an elevated tumor marker DOES NOT always mean you have cancer ⚠️
💡 Abnormal results ≠ Cancer diagnosis!
Many other conditions — such as inflammation, infection, fatigue, lack of sleep, drinking 🍺
or even smoking 🚬 — can also raise your tumor marker levels
Tumor markers are mainly used to screen potential risks
but they cannot diagnose cancer on their own ❌
👨🏻‍⚕️ What should you do?
Doctors will always look at multiple factors —
lab results, imaging scans, and clinical symptoms — before making a diagnosis.
If you’re unsure about your report, don’t panic or self-diagnose.
Just consult your doctor for clarification. 💬
🩺 Tumor markers aren’t scary numbers —
they’re your body’s way of sending an early warning signal. 🚨
Stay informed, get regular checkups, and take care of your health. ❤️

Stroke is one of the main causes of death and disability⚠️
The good news? Many strokes can be prevented if we take care early🩺

🧠 Who is at risk?
High blood pressure (the biggest cause)
Diabetes or high cholesterol
Smoking & heavy drinking
Being overweight, not enough exercise
Family history of stroke

⏱️ Remember FAST to spot stroke:
F – Face: One side of the face droops when smiling
A – Arm: One arm feels weak or can’t be lifted
S – Speech: Speech is hard to talk or understand
T – Time: Call ambulance right away 🚑 Every minute counts!

💡 How to prevent stroke:
✅ Check blood pressure & sugar regularly
✅ Eat less salty, oily food — more fruits & vegetables
✅ Exercise at least 30 minutes, 5 days a week

✅ Do a yearly health check

👉 Stroke can happen to anyone, anytime. Knowing the signs and living healthy can save lives

Have you ever heard of Thalassemia?
Many people think it’s the same as lower level of red blood cell, but actually it’s very different — and can be much more serious.

🩸 What is Thalassemia?
It’s a sickness you are born with, passed down from parents.
Because of a problem in the blood, your red blood cells break down too fast,
and your body doesn’t have enough healthy ones → this causes tiredness and pale skin.

👨‍👩‍👧 How it runs in families
If both parents carry the gene, the child may have serious thalassemia.
If only one parent carries it, the child may have very mild symptoms, or no symptoms at all.

⚠️ What signs can it cause?
Mild cases: sometimes no symptoms, or just a little bit of tiredness.
Serious cases: very pale face, always tired, slow growth in children, big belly from swollen organs, and often need regular blood transfusions.

💡 Can it be prevented or treated?
Prevention: Couples can do a simple blood test before marriage or pregnancy to see if they carry the gene.
Treatment:
Mild cases usually don’t need treatment.
Serious cases may need regular blood transfusions, medicine to remove extra iron, and vitamins.
The only possible cure right now is a bone marrow transplant.

👉 Early screening and prevention are the best ways to protect your family’s health.

💓 Ever felt your heart suddenly racing or skipping beats?
It might not just be stress — it could be Atrial Fibrillation (AF).

👉 Common signs:
Irregular heartbeat / palpitations
Dizziness or extreme tiredness
Shortness of breath
Chest discomfort

⚠️ Why it matters:
AF can increase the risk of stroke and heart failure if not treated.

❓ What causes AF?
High blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, thyroid problems, or aging.
👥 Higher risk: Age 65+, hypertension, diabetes, or previous heart issues.

👉 If you feel unwell or notice these symptoms, please see a doctor early.

🦠 Did you know?
Not all Tuberculosis (TB) infections are the same.

There are two types of TB:
⚠️ Latent TB – The bacteria live in your body, but your immune system keeps them under control. No symptoms, not contagious.
‼️ Active TB – The bacteria multiply, causing symptoms like long-lasting cough, fever, night sweats, and weight loss. Active TB can spread to others.

🔎 How do doctors know the difference?
They usually combine the QuantiFERON blood test + chest X-ray:
Positive + no active lesions → Latent TB
Positive + active lesions / TB found in sputum → Active TB
Negative + no active lesions / no TB found in sputum → No TB infection

👉 Reminder: Latent TB doesn’t mean you’re completely safe. Regular follow-up is important.
💊 Active TB needs timely treatment & strict medication to protect yourself and others.
