🎀 Oktober is Borskankerbewusmakingmaand – ‘n tyd om vroue (en mans!) te herinner aan die belangrikheid van selfondersoeke, vroeë opsporing en gereelde mediese ondersoeke.

Borskanker is die mees algemene kanker onder vroue in Suid-Afrika, maar met vroeë opsporing is die kans op herstel baie hoog. By Naboom Med glo ons dat kennis krag is – hoe meer jy weet van jou liggaam, hoe beter kan jy dit beskerm.

Wat is borskanker?

Borskanker ontwikkel wanneer abnormale selle in die bors groei en ‘n gewas vorm. As dit nie vroeg behandel word nie, kan dit na ander dele van die liggaam versprei.

Belangrike waarskuwingstekens:
‼️‘n Knop of verdikking in die bors of onder die arm
‼️Verandering in die grootte, vorm of gevoel van die bors
‼️Intrekking van die tepel
‼️Afsondering of bloeding uit die tepel
‼️Velveranderinge soos rooiheid of “skilferige” kolle

Selfondersoek – jou eerste verdediging:
1️⃣Doen ‘n selfondersoek een keer per maand, verkieslik ná menstruasie.
2️⃣Gebruik jou vingers om stadig oor die hele bors te voel vir knoppe of verdikkings.
3️⃣Let op visuele veranderinge in die spieël.
4️⃣Raadpleeg jou dokter as enigiets anders voel as gewoonlik.

By Naboom Med:

Ons bied borsondersoeke, gesondheidsadvies en verwysings vir mammogramme. Ons mediese span bied ‘n veilige, vertroulike en ondersteunende omgewing.

🎀 Onthou: Selfondersoek red lewens. Jou gesondheid is jou grootste bate.

😴 Sleep is medicine.
As September draws to a close and we move into the last quarter of the year, it’s the perfect time to reflect on one of the most underrated aspects of health: sleep. Too many South Africans push through long workdays, late nights, and constant screen time—forgetting that rest is not a luxury, but a necessity.

Why sleep matters:
📍Restores your brain and improves memory
📍Strengthens your immune system
📍Lowers the risk of heart disease and diabetes
📍Balances hormones and metabolism
📍Improves mood and mental resilience

Signs of poor sleep hygiene:
‼️Struggling to fall asleep or stay asleep
‼️Feeling tired even after 7–9 hours in bed
‼️Relying heavily on caffeine to get through the day
‼️Irritability or mood swings
‼️Poor focus and concentration

How to improve your sleep:
1️⃣Go to bed and wake up at the same time daily.
2️⃣Keep your bedroom cool, dark, and quiet.
3️⃣Switch off screens at least an hour before bed.
4️⃣Avoid caffeine and heavy meals late at night.
5️⃣Try relaxation techniques like breathing, prayer, or journaling.
6️⃣Exercise during the day to improve nighttime rest.

At Naboom Med:
We help patients struggling with sleep through:
🦾Screening for sleep disorders like sleep apnoea
🦾Stress and anxiety management support
🦾Lifestyle and routine guidance
🦾Safe, short-term treatment if needed

Better sleep = better health = better life. Let’s close September by choosing rest and recovery as priorities.

❤️ Jou hart werk 24/7 – sonder rus – om jou aan die lewe te hou.
Op 29 September vier ons Wêreldhartsdag, ‘n dag wat wêreldwyd duisende mense herinner om hulle hartgesondheid ernstig op te neem. In Suid-Afrika is hartsiektes steeds een van die grootste oorsake van sterftes, maar die goeie nuus is: jy kan baie doen om dit te voorkom.

Wat bedreig jou hart?
📍Hoë bloeddruk (hipertensie)
📍Hoë cholesterolvlakke
📍Diabetes
📍Onaktiewe leefstyl
📍Oorgewig of vetsug
📍Rook en oormatige alkohol

Tekens wat jy nooit moet ignoreer nie:
‼️Drukkende of brandende borspyn
‼️Kortasem, selfs by ligte inspanning
‼️Duiseligheid of floute
‼️Onreëlmatige hartklop
‼️Swelling in voete of enkels

Hoe jy jou hart kan beskerm:
1️⃣Doen gereelde bloeddruk- en cholesteroltoetse.
2️⃣Volg ‘n hartgesonde dieet – meer groente, vrugte en maer proteïen.
3️⃣Verminder sout en verwerkte kos.
4️⃣Oefen minstens 30 minute per dag.
5️⃣Vermy rook heeltemal en beperk alkohol.
6️⃣Bestuur stres met ontspanningstegnieke.

By Naboom Med bied ons:

🧪 Toetse vir cholesterol en diabetes

🌍 A healthy environment = healthy people.
On 26 September, World Environmental Health Day, we’re reminded that our health is directly linked to the world around us. Clean air, safe water, and unpolluted spaces are essential for preventing disease and promoting well-being.

How the environment affects health:
📍Air pollution can cause asthma, chronic lung disease, and heart conditions.
📍Unsafe water leads to diarrhoeal diseases, one of the leading causes of child mortality globally.
📍Chemical exposure increases cancer and developmental risks.
📍Climate change affects food security, heat stress, and infectious disease spread.

In South Africa:
‼️Millions live with limited access to safe sanitation.
‼️Urban pollution worsens asthma and allergies.
‼️Rural communities face challenges with clean water supply.

What you can do:
1️⃣Reduce waste and recycle where possible.
2️⃣Use water wisely—fix leaks, limit excess usage.
3️⃣Plant trees or indigenous plants to improve air quality.
4️⃣Walk or cycle short distances instead of driving.
5️⃣Support community clean-up projects.

At Naboom Med:

We encourage patients to see health holistically: your environment shapes your body’s future. That’s why we promote awareness about sustainable choices, prevention of environmentally linked illnesses, and healthy living.

📚 Die lente bring nie net blomtyd nie, maar ook eksamentyd vir baie jongmense.
September en Oktober is dikwels ‘n stresvolle tyd vir skoliere en studente. Die druk om goed te presteer, slaaptekort en hoë verwagtinge kan jongmense se geestesgesondheid ernstig beïnvloed.

By Naboom Med glo ons dat ondersteuning in hierdie fase ‘n groot verskil kan maak, nie net vir akademiese prestasie nie, maar ook vir jong mense se selfvertroue en algemene gesondheid.

Algemene uitdagings tydens eksamentyd:
📍Hoë vlakke van stres en angs
📍Slaaptekort weens lang studietye
📍Ongebalanseerde eetpatrone (snacks, energiedrankies)
📍Sosiale isolasie of oorlading
📍Fisiese simptome soos hoofpyn en maagpyn

Hoe om jongmense te ondersteun:
🦾Skep ‘n gesonde roetine. Sluit studietye, rus en gesonde etes in.
🦾Moedig goeie slaap aan. Selfs 7–9 uur is noodsaaklik vir konsentrasie.
🦾Help met tydsbestuur. Breek studiemateriaal in kleiner dele op.
🦾Moedig beweging aan. Kort stappies of oefening verbeter fokus.
🦾Wees emosioneel beskikbaar. Luister eerder as om net raad te gee.

By Naboom Med:
Ons bied ondersteuning deur:
1️⃣Geestesgesondheidskonsultasies vir tieners en jong volwassenes
2️⃣Praktiese wenke vir stres- en slaapbestuur
3️⃣Verwysings na beraders waar nodig
4️⃣Mediese evaluasies om ander faktore (soos ystertekort) uit te sluit

Onthou: Eksamenprestasies is belangrik, maar jou kind se gesondheid en welstand is nóg belangriker.

🧸 Healthy children grow into strong adults.
September, with its focus on renewal and growth, is the perfect month to highlight the importance of early childhood development (ECD). At Naboom Med, we know that the early years, especially from birth to age 6—shape a child’s future health, learning, and emotional well-being.

Why early childhood development matters:
📍The brain develops fastest in the first 5 years of life.
📍Nutrition, stimulation, and safety during this time affect school readiness.
📍Early interventions can identify speech, motor, or learning challenges.
📍Emotional bonding with caregivers builds resilience for life.

Key areas of development:
1️⃣Physical growth – walking, running, fine motor skills.
2️⃣Cognitive growth – language, problem-solving, creativity.
3️⃣Emotional growth – learning to regulate feelings.
4️⃣Social growth – interacting with peers and adults.

What parents can do:
‼️Provide balanced meals and regular sleep routines.
‼️Encourage play, play is how children learn best.
‼️Limit screen time and encourage outdoor activities.
‼️Read to your child daily to boost language skills.
‼️Seek medical advice if milestones are delayed.

How Naboom Med supports families:

👩‍⚕️ Growth and developmental milestone checks
🧠 Screening for developmental delays
📋 Guidance on nutrition and sleep routines
🤝 Support for parents navigating challenges

Your child’s future starts today. Give them the foundation they need to thrive.

🌬️ Die lente bring nuwe lewe, maar ook nuwe uitdagings vir jou longe.
Terwyl blomme bot en stuifmeelvlakke styg, sien ons elke jaar ‘n toename in mense wat sukkel met asemhalingsprobleme soos asma, allergiese rinitis en selfs infeksies soos brongitis. By Naboom Med glo ons dat voorkoming en bestuur van respiratoriese gesondheid van kardinale belang is om die lente gemaklik te kan beleef.

Waarom respiratoriese gesondheid belangrik is:
📍Jou longe voorsien jou liggaam van suurstof – noodsaaklik vir elke sel.
📍Longe beskerm jou teen infeksies deur slym en klein haartjies (silia).
📍Wanneer hulle oorlaai word deur allergieë of infeksies, raak asemhaling moeilik en stresvol.

Algemene respiratoriese probleme in die lente:
📍Asma: Vererger deur stuifmeel, stof en koue oggendlug.
📍Allergiese rinitis (hooikoors): Nies, loopneus en jeukerige oë.
📍Brongitis: Kan volg ná virusinfeksies soos verkoue of griep.
📍Sinusinfeksies: Stuifmeel en stof blokkeer lugweë.

Simptome om op te let:
‼️Aanhoudende hoes
‼️Kortasem of hyg
‼️Stywe bors
‼️Gereelde niesaanvalle of waterige oë
‼️Herhalende sinuspyne of druk

Hoe om jou longe in lente te beskerm:
💊Gebruik voorgeskrewe asma-inhalers korrek en betyds.
💊Hou vensters toe op dae met hoë stuifmeel.
💊Spoel jou neus uit met soutoplossing om allergie-"triggers" te verwyder.
💊Bly weg van rook en stof – dit vererger simptome.
💊Kry jou griepinspuiting vroeg in die seisoen.

By Naboom Med bied ons:

🩺 Asemhalingstoetse en asmabestuur
💊 Medikasie en inhaler-begeleiding
📋 Raad oor allergiebestuur en leefstyl
🤝 Ondersteuning vir kinders en volwassenes wat sukkel met lente-asma

Onthou: Om asem te haal behoort nooit ‘n stryd te wees nie. Jou longe verdien dieselfde sorg as enige ander orgaan.

💙 Men’s health matters too.
Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men worldwide, including South Africa. September is an excellent month to highlight men’s wellness, encouraging men to take charge of their health by scheduling routine screenings and breaking the silence around prostate issues.

Why prostate health is important:
📍Prostate cancer is often symptomless in early stages.
📍When caught early, treatment outcomes are excellent.
📍Risk increases with age, especially after 50.
📍Family history also raises risk.

Warning signs to watch for:
‼️Difficulty starting or stopping urination
‼️Weak urine flow
‼️Increased frequency, especially at night
‼️Pain or burning during urination
‼️Blood in urine or semen
‼️Pelvic discomfort

Steps to reduce risk:
1️⃣Get screened. A PSA blood test is simple and effective.
2️⃣Eat a balanced diet rich in tomatoes, leafy greens, and fish.
3️⃣Exercise regularly to maintain a healthy weight.
4️⃣Quit smoking and limit alcohol.
5️⃣Discuss family history with your doctor.

At Naboom Med we offer:
🩺 Prostate health consultations
💉 PSA blood testing
📋 Lifestyle and diet guidance
🤝 Referrals to urologists where necessary

Men: Don’t wait for symptoms. Prevention and early detection are the strongest tools you have.

☀️ Die lente bring son, blomtyd en nuwe energie, maar ook verhoogde risiko vir sonskade.
In Suid-Afrika is die son intens, selfs in September. Baie mense onderskat die effek van UV-bestraling, wat kan lei tot velveroudering, sonskade en selfs velkanker. By Naboom Med moedig ons pasiënte aan om voorkomend op te tree eerder as om later te herstel.

Wat is sonskade?
Sonskade gebeur wanneer UV-strale die vel se DNA beskadig. Dit kan veroorsaak:
‼️Sonbrand
‼️Droë, growwe vel
‼️Donker kolle en sproete
‼️Plaveisel- of basaal-selkarsinoom (velkanker)
‼️Melanoom (gevaarlikste vorm van velkanker)

Wie is die meeste in gevaar?
📍Mense met ligte vel, hare of oë
📍Enigiemand met ‘n familiegeskiedenis van velkanker
📍Persone wat buite werk of gereeld in die son verkeer
📍Kinders en tieners wat sonder sonskerm speel

Hoe beskerm jy jou vel?
💊Dra sonskerm met minstens SPF 30, elke dag – selfs op bewolkte dae.
💊Dra ‘n breërand-hoed en sonbril.
💊Vermy direkte sonblootstelling tussen 10:00 en 15:00.
💊Ondersoek jou vel gereeld vir nuwe of veranderende moesies.
💊Besoek Naboom Med of jou dermatoloog as jy onseker is.

Ons help met:
🦾Velondersoeke en advies
🦾Riglyne vir veilige sonskerm en leefstyl
🦾Vinnige verwysings indien abnormale letsels vermoed word

Onthou: Sonskade bou oor jare op – maar voorkoming begin vandag.
