Hello, I am experiencing some symptoms of Prostate Cancer. Is there any way to check if you have prostate cancer or not without visiting a hospital?

Answered by Dr. Babita Goel

Consulting a clinician and getting thoroughly evaluated is the right way to get yourself diagnosed and treated. Just searching, reading and trying to match your symptoms to a particular disease will lead to unnecessary stress, anxiety and delay in treatment. So please get examined by Urology Consultation doctors in Mumbai, or any city of convenience, and if some pathology is detected then get treated.

My nephew has a form of cancer in the form of a lump above the rib cage, which has now affected his lung. Is there a cure for this type of cancer? The doctors said that he needs marrow so what you think please answer me quickly.

Male | 12

Without knowing more about the type and stage of cancer he has, it's difficult to say much about his particular case. Bone marrow transplantation is done to treat some types of cancer, particularly those that affect the blood and bone marrow, like leukemia and lymphoma. So if the doctors have said so, you must follow. If yoou're cncerned you may take a second opinion from oncologists in India.

I am 35 years old female and my stomach was bloated for 2 days then I consulted doctor who gave drips then told for a ct scan then they told its cancer other told its all spread and its stage 4 many told us not to get biopsy as it will make it more spread now the report came that cea is 0.5 and ldh is 276

Female | 35

Bloating can arise from various factors, including digestive issues or hormonal changes. The elevated LDH and the CEA levels are significant, but it's crucial to interpret these in the context of your overall health and symptoms. Consult your physician for a comprehensive evaluation and discuss the necessity of a biopsy based on your specific situation. It's essential to have a supportive team guiding your care. Remember, communication with your healthcare provider is key to navigating this journey effectively.

Hello, what are the early symptoms of Pancreatic cancer that a person can detect?

In many cases there are often no signs and symptoms, until the pancreatic cancer has reached an advanced stage. Even when there may be some early signs and symptoms, they are often vague, so patients tend to ignore them or doctors sometimes attribute them to some other disease.

Some of the early symptoms of pancreatic cancer that need to be taken seriously include:

Jaundice (with or without itching)
Dark urine or light-colored stool
General symptoms such as back pain, Fatigue or weakness
Pancreatitis
New-onset diabetes in an adult
Unexplained weight loss
Loss of appetite
Malnutrition
Nausea

If the cracking of nipple is not responding to ointment what needs to be ruled out is a Paget's disease of the nipple. This requires a clinical examination by a breast surgeon and he or she can guide you further on the same.

Hello, I am 64 years now. I was diagnosed with throat cancer. It's been six months since I finished radiotherapy. But I'm still nauseous all of the time and can't eat or swallow anything. The discomfort in my mouth and throat, as well as the ulcers, are excruciating.

Radiation therapy in throat cancer is a very common treatment modality. It is associated with some side effects which reduce after a certain time period. Nausea, difficulty in swallowing, stomatitis and dryness of mouth are common side effects after Radiation therapy. These side effects can be managed through some saliva substitutes for keeping the mouth moist. You can use some lubricating anaesthesia solutions suggested by oncologist to help in reducing pain because of ulceration. Nutrition is the key to general well being of the body, so if difficulty in swallowing you can opt for temporary feeding tube to fulfill the nutritional needs of the body.

can cervical cancer cause b12 deficiency?

Female | 44

No, cervical cancer does not directly cause B12 deficiency. However, some cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy, may affect the absorption of vitamin B12 in the body, leading to a deficiency. It is important to monitor B12 levels in cancer patients undergoing treatment and supplement as necessary to prevent deficiency.

Namaste, My father lives in Ahmedabad, Gujarat and is in terminal stage of cancer. It started as oral cancer which was removed surgically but unfortunately has metastasized to his lungs and now his liver. He took 6 rounds of chemotherapy, but it spread anyway. He is at end of life now and we are desperately looking for Ayurveda treatment or options that can ease this situation.

Male | 65

Metastasis means the cancer has spread to other body areas. The terminal stage signals the disease's progression. Pain, weakness, and no appetite are symptoms. Ayurveda uses herbs and healthy practices to ease discomfort and lift life quality. But consult an expert to plan the ideal ayurvedic treatment approach for your dad's specific case.
