The number of cancer cases in Russia is growing regularly, and the Perm Region is no exception. Unfortunately, the incidence of cancer in the region is higher than the average in Russia, and it is growing. We want to tell you: cancer is not a verdict yet. Yes, it is a dangerous and serious disease, but it is treatable. The question that worries many is during what period it is necessary to consult a doctor for oncology?
We are talking about this with the chief doctor of the Ust-Kachka resort Lyubov Zavrazhnykh.
1. How to detect cancer in the early stages?
Any disease is easier to prevent than to treat. Oncology is no exception in our case. Therefore, attention is now focused on early diagnosis of oncopathology. There is a decree on this to all specialists conducting medical examinations and periodic medical examinations of the population. And, of course, each of us is responsible for our health. At the first appearance of any incomprehensible symptoms, you should immediately consult a doctor. And if you have been assigned an examination, you need to go through it, and not put it off in a "long box". It is important to do it here and now.
2. What symptoms should I contact an oncologist with?
With absolutely any symptoms that you do not understand, as well as with any neoplasms, you also need to immediately consult a dermatologist, therapist, etc. And the doctor will determine whether you need to be examined by an oncologist. There is no need to be afraid and self-medicate - because sometimes the most harmless health disorders seem to us fatal and irreversible. We immediately turn to a specialist!
3. What diagnostic methods are used at the Ust-Kachka resort? How effective are they? After all, many people are now looking for a sanatorium for cancer patients.
Ust-Kachka is a balneological resort. First of all, we are engaged in health improvement, disease prevention. At the resort, we conduct screening diagnostics of oncological diseases, i.e. we determine the presence of any disorders in the state of all organs and functional systems of a person and, accordingly, we determine the need for a deeper special examination in the dispensary where the patient lives.
4. Can a person who has undergone traditional methods of cancer treatment (surgical treatment, chemotherapy) return to normal life? And what does he need for this: psychological support, medication treatment, adherence to a healthy lifestyle?
At the stage when the diagnosis is made, of course, all patients experience severe stress. And in the future, all types of treatment are associated with the expenditure of physical strength and emotional stress. Therefore, starting from the moment of diagnosis, the patient needs psychological support, proper (functional) nutrition with the necessary vitamins, minerals, trace elements, walks in the fresh air. And with regard to drug therapy, we will leave the decisive word to the specialists.
5. What special rehabilitation programs for cancer patients are used at the Ust-Kachka resort? Are these some unique techniques?
Rehabilitation at the Ust-Kachka resort is indicated for patients with oncological diseases who have undergone specific treatment. The rehabilitation program at our resort includes psychological and physical rehabilitation, herbal medicine, drug therapy according to indications.
6. How effective is rehabilitation?
We see our task in improving the psychological state of patients. We want bright colors to return to their lives again. And I wanted to visit our resort more and more often, but with a different purpose – rest and health maintenance.
7. What advice would you like to give to people who are faced with this dangerous diagnosis - "cancer"?
This is not a verdict. It is necessary to start treatment in a timely manner, follow all the recommendations of doctors. And do not hope that the disease will pass by itself.
