Medical aesthetics and aesthetic (cosmetic) surgery both aim to improve appearance, but they do so in different ways. Medical aesthetic treatments are usually non-surgical or minimally invasive procedures such as botulinum toxin injections, dermal fillers, skin boosters, chemical peels and laser therapies. They are often performed in an outpatient clinic, with little to no downtime, and results tend to be gradual and temporary, requiring maintenance sessions.
Aesthetic (cosmetic) surgery, on the other hand, involves surgical procedures such as rhinoplasty, facelift, eyelid surgery, breast surgery or body contouring. These operations are performed in an operating room, usually under general or regional anaesthesia. Recovery time is longer compared to non-surgical treatments, but the changes are typically more dramatic and longer-lasting.
Both approaches carry risks and are not suitable for everyone. The right choice depends on your overall health, expectations, lifestyle and the specific concern you want to address. A detailed examination and consultation with a qualified doctor is essential to decide which option is safest and most appropriate for you.

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is defined as persistent difficulty achieving or maintaining sufficient rigidity for s*xual in*******se. It is a prevalent condition that can significantly impact quality of life. Patients should be informed about the condition, directed to appropriate treatment and encouraged to improve their quality of life.
Erectile dysfunction (ED) can have many causes, usually physical, psychological, or a combination. Common physical causes include vascular problems, as an er****on requires blood flow. Atherosclerosis and other conditions restrict blood flow. Disorders of the nervous system play a key role, as nerve signals are essential for er****on. Diseases like MS, Parkinson's disease and injuries can cause ED. Hormonal imbalances and low testosterone levels can also affect s*xual function. Certain medications can contribute to ED, as do prostate drugs and surgeries, and pe**le injuries.
A urologist can diagnose ED by taking a patient history, performing a physical examination, and requesting blood tests and questionnaires. Stressful life events, alcohol consumption, obesity, and physical inactivity can significantly increase the risk of developing this condition.

Swimming works the entire body in a balanced and gentle way while effectively strengthening the muscles. It supports healthy breathing by increasing lung capacity and improving respiratory control. As the body moves freely in water, flexibility and balance naturally improve, helping to straighten and support the spine. Beyond its physical benefits, swimming is a powerful stress reliever—simply entering the water helps both the mind and body relax. It also enhances mental clarity by supporting focus and memory, and by deeply relaxing the muscles, it helps regulate sleep and makes it easier to fall asleep.

HIV is a virus that attacks the immune system and reduces the body’s resistance to infection. If you are in a risk group, it’s important to be aware of it and have regular HIV tests every six months, and to know how HIV is transmitted and how to take precautions.
Risk groups include people who have unprotected s*x, change partners frequently, use intravenous drugs, and do not practice good hygiene. HIV is mainly transmitted through s*xual contact. It can also be transmitted through vaginal or re**al secretions, bodily fluids that come into contact with blood and, rarely, through blood transfusions, organ transplants or breastfeeding by an HIV-positive mother.
The first symptoms appear 2–4 weeks after infection and are flu-like, such as low-grade fever, sore throat, weakness and muscle and joint aches, and often go unnoticed. If you have been exposed in the past 3–6 months, it is important to get tested while experiencing these symptoms. HIV infection has three stages: the acute phase, which lasts a week or two; the latency period, where symptoms disappear and can last 10–15 years; and the AIDS stage, which is the last stage of untreated HIV and is now very rare thanks to effective treatments.
Treatment lowers the virus to undetectable levels and allows a normal life, while lack of treatment may lead to recurrent infections and serious health problems. Antiretroviral treatment can stop HIV if taken within 72 hours of exposure. You can protect yourself by getting tested regularly, knowing how HIV is transmitted and, if diagnosed, following your treatment.

Thoracic surgery is a medical specialty that treats problems affecting the organs inside the chest — mainly the lungs, esophagus, heart, and diaphragm. These organs are vital for life. For example, the lungs enable us to breathe, while the esophagus allows us to swallow food properly. When any of these organs are affected, serious symptoms such as difficulty breathing and a significant decrease in quality of life can occur.
Thoracic surgeons perform surgical procedures to treat diseases of these organs so that patients can return to a healthy life. While some conditions can be managed with medication, others may require surgery. For instance, lung cancer, severe infections, lung cysts, or trauma to the chest may need surgical intervention. Thoracic surgeons evaluate each patient’s condition and choose the most appropriate treatment method to support their recovery.
Thoracic diseases are generally related to the lungs, respiratory tract, or esophagus. Some of these diseases respond well to medication, but in certain cases, surgical treatment becomes necessary.
