Get a chance to save your life

Very often we think that there is no need whatsoever for us to have medical knowledge or even know the basics of medicine; we leave it all to the doctors and expect them to do everything for us. On the other hand some of us only know the real basic medical facts like fever, flu, malaria, chicken pox, and maybe a few more viral diseases. But in the 21st century, basic medical knowledge goes beyond the boundaries of malaria and fever. When Doctors and nurses have to keep learning about new medical data every few days with a new discovery or a new treatment or diagnosis, it directly means that we have to revise our medical dictionary once a while for our benefit. It is not necessary that we know everything, but it is necessary to know the latest and commonest of diseases that plague our world today and take the lives of thousands and even millions across the world. Most of us do not know the most common of diseases that are known to destroy lives of the people around us, or we may only know them by name; but what are they? Do we really know the symptoms of these diseases, their causes, their results, and their treatment? Not many of us do in actuality.
For example, how many of us know what Adenocarcinoma of the colon is? Or how about any of these diseases - carcinoma of the kidney, Degenerative eye disease, Diabetes Mellitus Type II, Prostatic Adenocarcinoma, Respiratory Insufficiency, Retinopathy Diabetes, Stage I, II, III and IV Melanoma, Tumour in Lung; All, few, one or two, none? We take our Doctors for granted and fail to realise that our lives are firstly in our hands and then in theirs. We need to have a control of our lives and in order to do that we first need to have an idea of the effects this world can have on our lives. Adenocarcinoma of the colon is colon cancer – a cancer that is diagnosed in more than 150,000 people every year in the US alone. Adenocarcinoma of the colon is a silent killer, so for those who think that their annual or monthly doctor check - ups can reveal that they have Adenocarcinoma of the colon are highly mistaken. According to Doctors, Adenocarcinoma of the colon can be cured if it is located in the early stages and so to have a basic knowledge of the symptoms of Adenocarcinoma of the colon is necessary because it is these symptoms that will help us to get help for ourselves from doctors and lead us to get a screening and save our own lives.
This is Doctors Medical Opinions’ foremost goal – to give the necessary information about various diseases like Adenocarcinoma of the colon, carcinoma of kidney, Degenerative eye disease, Diabetes Mellitus Type II, Prostatic Adenocarcinoma, Respiratory Insufficiency, Retinopathy Diabetes, Stage I, II, III and IV Melanoma, Tumour in Lung, etc so that the individual – you, will be able to be aware of your own health. Through Case studies, these doctors’ help you understand fully the threats of life that you can or probably face in the future. The case studies give information regarding the symptoms of the disease as well as the treatments for the disease. For instance, the symptoms of Adenocarcinoma of the colon are blood in stools, Stool that are narrower than usual, unexplained abdominal pains, change in bowel habits, anaemia and weight loss; and these case studies give you an insight of how individuals in the past faced the same problems and how they were either treated or cured.
The same goes for diseases like Carcinoma of the kidney where the symptoms are blood in the urine, loss of weight, night sweats or an uneasiness during nights due to which sleeping becomes difficult. Carcinoma of the kidney is also known as the disease that mimics a whole lot of oher diseases, most common of which is fever, so much so that the individual does not even know the seriousness of his condition. Diabetes Mellitus Type II a disease that, according to doctors, will be diagnosed in over 350 million people around the world by the year 2015. Diabetes Mellitus Type II, unknown to many people is responsible for two – thirds of all heart and stroke cases, two – thirds of cases of kidney failures, one half of the cases of non traumatic lower limb loss and 75% cases of blindness. However like most of the above diseases - Adenocarcinoma of the colon, carcinoma of kidney, Degenerative eye disease, Prostatic Adenocarcinoma, Respiratory Insufficiency, Retinopathy Diabetes, Stage I, II, III and IV Melanoma, Tumour in Lung, Diabetes Mellitus Type II can be cured if it is detected in the earlier stages and doctors have proved that 60% of Diabetes Mellitus Type II cases can be prevented if tested on time.
There are so many other diseases like Degenerative eye disease, Prostatic Adenocarcinoma, Respiratory Insufficiency, Retinopathy Diabetes, Stage I, II, III and IV Melanoma, Tumour in Lung, etc that follow the same principle – they can be cured if they are diagnosed as early as possible (in the first stages), they can be diagnosed in time if screened in time and they can be screened in time if the individual is aware of the signs; be aware and save your life.
