IMRT and weight loss are not directly related. However, invasive treatments like chemotherapy and radiotherapy can reduce your appetite and cause mouth sores which can ultimately lead to weight loss.

A minimum of three months is ideally needed to recover after a rotator cuff repair surgery.

While, surgery may not be the only option to fix a rotator cuff, a patient has to take medication and do required exercises to recover from a rotator cuff injury.

A lot of people today choose to go for a rotator cuff repair, since it is a common surgery backed by latest tech. 90% of the surgeries usually end up successful.

If left untreated, a rotator cuff tear can severely restrict function and range of motion. The tears can also increase over time. This may cause partial rotator cuff tears to progress to total tears.

It is imperative that during the recovery process of 3 to 6 months, the arm is used minimally after a rotator cuff repair.

After a shoulder surgery the patient is instructed to sleep on a recliner or with multiple pillows maintaining a 45 degree tilt in sleeping for 3 to 6 months.

Any exercises or activities that may put a lot of strain on the arm are prohibited during the recovery period after a shoulder cuff repair surgery.

A patient is expected to live anywhere between a year to 5 years after a liver transplant.

Around 60% of the donors healthy liver is usually taken to replace with the diseased liver of the patient.

A liver transplant is done so that the patient with the terminal liver condition can have a few years added to their life expectancy.

During the surgery the patient is given general anesthesia and other nerve blockers which prevent feeling in the entire body. Post the operation the pain may last for two weeks and you will be able to do regular activities after 6 weeks of physical therapy.

With new and advanced metals and procedures partial knee replacement surgery which is minimally invasive is the newest procedure for knee replacement.

The completion of a total knee replacement surgery which is a major surgery takes about 3 to 4 hours.

Yes, a total knee replacement surgery is a major one and a person should opt for it only after suggestions from a doctors.

In an ideal situation, with proper physical therapy a patient can bend their knee after a total knee replacement surgery in about 7 to 10 days.

The best age to have a knee replacement surgery is before 50. However, with advanced technology and care giving, the most common age of people opting for the surgery is between the age of 50 to 80.

A patient is required to stay in the hospital for 2 to 3 days post the operation. After that however, it is imperative that the patient undergoes physical treatment.

There are no disadvantages to a knee replacement but just like any other major surgery, it has certain risks that can be reduced with the right hospital and staff. These risks may include no reduction in pain even after the surgery, blood clotting and others.

For a patient to opt for total knee replacement they will have to be prescribed by a doctor. When the pain becomes too severe for them to do the regular activities and the medications stop working it is prudent to go for a surgery.

Doing physical therapy is extremely important because it is important to recover after the surgery. If a patient does not do the required physical therapy and exercises there is decrease of blood flow which can negatively affect the healing process.

If a patient is a good match for partial knee replacement surgery, they should definitely go for it as it has many benefits over total knee replacement surgery such as: smaller incision, minimal invasion and shorter recovery time.

Partial knee replacement surgery is a common surgery conducted by surgeons and has 90% success rate.

While the best age to go for a partial knee replacement surgery is less than 55 years of age, most of the people who go for the surgery are people within the age of 50 to 80 year old. However, this has little impact on the success rate.

The uni-compartmental or partial knee replacement surgery is usually completed within 1.5 to 2 years by expert orthopaedic surgeons.

While a little pain is experienced after the surgery, it is far lesser than total knee replacement. The pain usually decreases significantly after a couple of days after the partial knee replacement surgery.

The risks may include a higher revision rate for partial knee replacement than total knee replacement and it has infection of the joint, which occurs in it; 1% of patients.

People are totally recovered from a Partial knee replacement surgery maximum within a weeks time and they are free to run or jump. However, it is suggested that they take caution and not put a lot of strain on the knee.

Yes, one can kneel after a partial knee replacement, however it is a technique that is to be taught in rehabilitation by health care givers.

One of the most common types of congenital heart defects is a ventricular septal defect (VSD).

There is no permanent cure for congenital heart defect; however, there are treatments like surgeries and transplant to maintain a healthy and productive life.

The estimated average life expectancy of adult patients with congenital heart defects will be 35 to 40 years for those with complex symptoms, and 55 years for those with mild symptoms.

It is possible to lead a normal life after treating a congenital heart disease. However, the patient should remain in touch with their doctors and do regular follow ups to monitor their conditions.

Excessive stress in mothers may be a cause for congenital heart defect in babies.

The procedure of a coronary angioplasty can take anywhere between 30 minutes to several hours depending on the number of artery blockages and severity.

Patients who have recently had a coronary angioplasty should not lift heavy objects or exert themselves too much. They should have plenty of fluids and maintain a healthy diet.

The procedure of angioplasty is successful in opening coronary arteries in over 90% of patients. However, around 30% to 40% of patients with successful coronary angioplasty will develop eventual narrowing at the site of balloon inflation and to prevent that stenting is recommended.

To complete a stent procedure the patient need not necessarily remain under general anesthesia, however, they will have to be sedated and local anesthesia is used in the site of the incision.

Yes, 90% patients with a stenting procedure goes on to live a healthy and full life.

Full recovery after a coronary angioplasty takes up to a weeks time. During this time the patient is recommended to follow healthy diet and not exert themselves too much.

Walking, running, weight lifting, and any other activity that increases heart rate and improves cardiovascular fitness are safe as well as recommended after recovery from coronary angioplasty.

Although there is no permanent treatment to coronary artery disease, it can be controlled and monitored. If a healthy lifestyle is followed, people can live a long and full life with such disease as well.

A coronary Artery Bypass Graft surgery may or may not be an open-heart surgery. There are less invasive techniques such as Minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB) that can be used depending on the situation.

Patients can have more than one CABG procedures in the same day depending how many blockages needs to be treated and where they are located.

According to studies around 90% of the patients survive 5 years after a bypass surgery and around 74% can survive for more than 10 years.

Yes, CABG is definitely a major surgery where the procedure is conducted by giving the patient general anesthesia.

Angina may recur within a year of the operation, which is usually due to closure of a patent graft. But if it recurs five to seven years after the grafting then the angina is attributed to progressive atherosclerotic changes in the native coronary circulation.

Unlike a normal X-ray test, a coronary angiography can be a little uncomfortable due to the insertion of the catheter. However, during the procedure the patient is given sedatives to numb the pain.

An angiography is done to find out if the blood flow is stopped due to any blocked artery or veins in the body.

An angiogram is a little serious than a normal or external X-ray test. It is done to find out of there are any disorders relating to arteries or veins in the body.

An angiogram is merely a test. It is not used to clear the blockages, however, if the test diagnoses a blockage an angioplasty along with the insertion of a stent is done to clear the blockages.

While angiography is just a test to find out if the body has a blocked artery or vein, an angioplasty is done to clear these clogged arteries if found in the test.

In most cases, the patient can be release on the same day after they are fully rested and well enough to travel back home.

Yes, angiography can be done more than once to find out if there are any blockages to the arteries.

While an angiogram itself has no effect on the kidneys, the contrast dye used during the procedure can be harmful to the kidneys. Which is why, it is imperative that the patient flushes out the dye after the procedure, by drinking plenty of water.

Recent study has found that aortic valve replacement surgery has a 94 percent five-year survival rate. However, the survival rate vastly depends on the age of the patient.

Heart valve replacement surgery is mostly an open-heart surgery which is a major surgery done under general anesthesia.

Depending on the type of replaced valve used, they may last up to 15 to 20 years.

While the artificial heart valve lasts for almost a lifetime, however, if the patient is more than 65 years of age there is the risk of valve failure that may happen after 5 to 6 years of the surgery.

Some of the symptoms of a bad aortic valve include: shortness of breath, chest pain, abnormal heartbeat or heart palpitations and swollen ankles.

If left untreated, aortic stenosis may lead to heart failure, increased shortness of breath and may cause threat to life of the patient.

Mitral valve surgery is mostly an open-heart surgery, involving long cut in the chest. However, in some cases, mitral valve repair surgery may be performed with minimally invasive heart surgery, in which surgeons perform the procedure through small incisions in the chest.

Mitral valve replacement is a major surgery and a serious one as well.

A patient needs at least three months to fully recover from a mitral valve replacement surgery.

At least five days of hospital stay is required generally after a mitral valve replacement surgery.

Mitral valve repairs, regardless of surgical techniques may fail, primarily for three basic reasons: a deficient surgical technique causing immediate failure, a delayed failure of surgical technique, or the progression of native disease.

Studies have shown that around 95% of mitral valve replacement surgeries are successful.

A person can lose about 1 to 2 pounds in a week after the procedure which amounts to 20 to 50 pounds of weight reduction after 6 months.

A patient will need 2 to 3 weeks to completely recover from a gastric bypass surgery. However, recover depends on the health, age and lifestyle of the patient.

There is no record of gastric bypass surgery impacting the life expectancy of a person. In fact after the surgery, the patient feels much healthier.

While it is best to take the recommendation of the doctor treating the patient to inform them about this. There are foods like red meat and other highly unhealthy food that must be avoided after a gastric bypass surgery.

Studies have proven that gastric bypass surgery is the most commonly done and successful weight loss surgery to be considered.

Since gastric sleeve bariatric surgery is a minimally invasive surgery, a patient can recover ideally in a weeks time considering there are no complications.

In most cases, a patient can easily lose 25 to 30 percent of their weight after a gastric sleeve surgery.

Gastric sleeve surgery is less invasive as compared to other bariatric surgeries and is less painful too.

At the end of three months, a patient may lose about 25 to 35 percent of your excess weight.

Chemotherapy is often recommended to treat Metastatic cancer which is considered stage IV.

Chemotherapy may have painful-side effects such as burning, numbness and tingling or shooting pains in the hands and feet, as well as mouth sores, headaches, muscle and stomach pain.

In a number of cases chemotherapy has successfully cured cancer. However, it cant cure the cancers on its own but it can help in combination with other types of treatment like surgery and other medications.

The doses and course of chemotherapy will entirely depend on the progression of the cancerous cell in the patients body and the doctors recommendation.

Yes, chemotherapy can have adverse effects on skin and teeth.

Yes, a PET scan can help show if an enlarged lymph node is cancerous which sometimes a CT scan may miss.

Normally a PET scan should not take more than 60 minutes to be completed.

Since the patient is entered through a wide opening while lying on a platform inside a machine, patients may feel a little claustrophobic. This can be helped with mild sedatives to relax.

Yes, a patient is perfectly well after a PET scan and are free to drive back home.

Sometimes, with the instructions of the doctor the patient may receive mild sedatives for the PET Scan.

In the early stages of oral cancer, mild symptoms start showing like an ulcer, depression in the tongue or small infections that only a doctor can say if it is anything serious.

Most oral cancers are a type called squamous cell carcinoma which tends to spread pretty quickly.

If detected at an early stage, surgery can cure oral cancer. This is why a person should have regular check-ups at the dentists.

While oral cancer if caught early can be cured, however, if not treated for a long time, oral cancer can be deadly.

The most common breast cancer risk factors are related to estrogen exposure over the course of a womans lifetime.

While cervical cancer is very much treatable during early stages, in later stages the cancer can be deadly.

Long-lasting infection with certain types of human papillomavirus (HPV) is the main cause of cervical cancer.

Cervical cancer is most frequently diagnosed in women between the ages of 35 and 44 with the average age at diagnosis being 50.

If detected at an early stage, cervical cancer can be cured completely.

Yes, excessive urination is one of the common symptoms of cervical cancer.

There are no known reasons as to why a person will have prostate cancer. It is a cancer that occurs when some of the cells in the prostate gland become abnormal.

If detected at a later stage and the cancer has spread to other organs as well, the disease can be quite deadly.

Life expectancy of a man living with prostate cancer without any treatment is 4 years.

Prostate cancer is uncommon among men under the age of 40 and is more common among men who are above 50 years of age.

In the past few decades the treatments for blood cancer has improved a lot so if detected at earlier stages, it can be highly treatable.

A sub-type of leukemia called acute myelogenous leukemia has killed the most people.

The survival rate of blood cancer is at a five-year average. However, with the improved treatments the rate is at 45% for myeloma and 85% for Hodgkin Lymphoma.

According to recent study, every 9 minutes someone in U.S dies of blood cancer. Almost 9.4% of the total number of patients dying of cancer is people with blood cancer.

Often patients, who have a suspicious mole, lump in body that is not going down or a injury that does not heal for a long time, it is important to reach out to a doctor.

Most blood cancers start with an infection in the bone marrow.

Jaundice, stomach and back pain, sudden weight loss, and diabetes can be signs of pancreatic cancer.

The average survival with untreated pancreatic cancer is three and half months.

Advanced pancreatic cancer is quite hard to treat, however, if the cancer is caught at an early stage, there are some chances of recovery.

Research shows that pancreatic cancer can progress to stage 4 from stage 1 within the period of a year.

A new persistent cough that worsens and if the patient coughs out blood can be an early sign of lung cancer.

The 5-year survival rate for all people with all types of lung cancer is 19%.

Lung cancer takes over a period of a year to form the tumor that can be detected in an imaging test. After that it can progress from stage 1 to stage 4 in the short period of 6 months.

Most people detected with lung cancer are 65 years of age or older. These people have been smokers or exposed to radon.

The five-year survival rate for lung cancer is 56 percent for cases detected when the disease is still localized (within the lungs). However, only 16 percent of lung cancer cases are diagnosed at an early stage.

Compared to other types of cancers, thyroid cancer is more treatable. The chances to get cure is more, if the treatment is done properly.

Swelling in the neck, lump in the throat, difficulty in swallowing etc. are some of the warning signs of thyroid cancer.

While there are no particular causes of thyroid cancer, family history has been found to be a common among thyroid cancer patient.

There are different types of thyroid cancer, some grow fast and some slower. Anaplastic thyroid cancer is the hardest type to treat. It can grow quickly and often spreads into surrounding tissue and other parts of the body.

If left untreated, thyroid cancer will eventually spread throughout the body and can have fatal results.

Yes, a person can live without a thyroid, however they will have to be on lifelong hormone supplements.

Compared to other types of cancers, thyroid cancer is more treatable. There are 98% chances of cure if the treatment is done properly.

The 5-year relative survival rate in cancer varies in case of liver cancer. If the cancer is localized there is a 33% chance, if it is regional the chances are reduced to 11% and if the cancer is distant the rate further reduces to 2%.

Liver cancer spreads depending on its type. Hemangiosarcoma and angiosarcoma spreads fast while hepatocellular carcinoma spreads late in the disease.

Cancer of the liver is relatively more serious than other forms. The 5-year survival rate when the cancer is contained just to the organ is only 31%.

Lean proteins, such as chicken, turkey, fish, eggs, low-fat dairy products, nuts and soy, which can boost your immune system and promote healing. Whole grains, such as oatmeal, whole wheat bread, brown rice and whole grain pasta, which are good sources of carbohydrates and fiber that can increase your energy level.

Men are more likely to get liver cancer than women the ratio is 2:1. Other than that people who have a history of alcohol abuse or living with hepatitis B or C are more prone to the cancer.

Liver transplant has proven to be the most effective treatment for liver cancer. However, it can only be done when the cancer is localized that is when the cancer has not spread to the other organs.

While kidney cancer is often curable since it is diagnosed easily, if the cancerous tumor is not removed it can spread to other organs and become dangerous.

Some of the early signs of kidney cancer could be blood in urine, pain in the lower back, a mass or lump on the side or back, loss of appetite, fatigue and more.

Kidney cancer is only as dangerous as any other type of cancer. If not treated on time, it can spread to other organs and eventually end in fatal results.

The rate at which the kidney cancer spreads depends on its type.

The iron in-take should be monitored if a patient has thalassemia.

According to studies, the life expectancy of multiple myeloma is 4 years. However, there are some cases when the patients have beaten the odds and lived for 10 to 20 years.

There is no cure for multiple myeloma but the cancer has been managed in many patients for many years.

Multiple myeloma is relatively a dangerous type of cancer that made it the 14th leading cause of cancer deaths in the U.S according to SEER.

There are no known causes of multiple myeloma but there are triggers related to the disease that includes being exposed to toxic chemicals, radiation, some viruses, immune disorders and family history.

Myeloma starts with one abnormal plasma cell in the bone marrow that multiplies rapidly.

There are three stages of multiple myeloma- Stage I, Stage II, and Stage III. The stages depend on factors including the amount of myeloma cells in the body and the damage the myeloma cells have caused to the bone.

Lymphoma unlike more deadly cancers is treatable even in the later stages and often curable.

While the cause of lymphoma is not known in most cases, Non-Hodgkins lymphoma is causes by mutation in the DNA type of white blood cells called lymphocytes.

In some cases, with chemotherapy combined with other steroid medications, lymphoma is treatable. Surgery is also often recommended to remove the tumors. Overall, with treatment both Hodgkins and non-Hodgkins lymphoma can be eventually cured.

The growth of lymphoma can happen over years without showing any symptoms. After 5 to 10 years of having lymphoma, disorders begin to progress rapidly and medical attention becomes unavoidable.

Most people who are detected with non-Hodgkins lymphoma are 60 years or above. In case of Hodgkins lymphoma men are more prone to the disease while in case of non-Hodgkins lymphoma women are more likely to get it then men.

A child usually needs bone marrow transplants to treat different disease related to blood which includes cancer and sickle cell anemia.

Bone marrow transplants for patients with non-malignant diseases have a much better success rate with 70% to 90 % survival with a matched sibling donor and 36% to 65% with unrelated donors.

While the prognosis is poor, there is always a risk of the cancer to relapse even after a bone marrow transplant. The median time is 4 months and usually the relapse occurs after 2 years of the transplant.

Bone marrow is a major surgery and is critical since it is used to cure serious illnesses such as cancer.

Sometimes due to graft failure the bone marrow transplant is not considered to be successful. In this case the most common treatment is to go for another transplant using stem cells from a different donor.

Hair transplant surgery is certainly more successful than general medication or other hair growth therapies. Yet some factors that one should consider are that anywhere between 10 to 80 percent of the transplanted hair will grow back within 3 to 4 months and also that like regular hair transplanted hair will thin over time.

Ideally, the effects of a hair transplant surgery will last a lifetime.

The surgery of the hair transplant is not painful as the patient will remain under local anesthesia. The pain post-surgery can be managed with the help of pain medications.

Hair transplant surgery is perfectly safe when done by experienced and certified professionals.

The ideal age to consider a hair transplant is 25.

Some common causes of failed FUE hair transplant include: Post-Operative Infection, Infection of the donor site or the transplanted hair follicles can cause the follicles to fail and the surgery to have poor overall outcomes.

When done well by a certified professional, hair transplant can look perfectly natural.

The initial recovery time for a Brazilian butt lift surgery may take up to two weeks.

One can sit on their buttocks after a Brazilian butt lift only after two weeks when the swelling has reduced.

Reports suggest that 1 out of 3000 candidates have died after a Brazilian butt lift due to different complications.

During the surgery the patient is given anesthesia to not feel any pain and after the surgery if the patient is in pain during recovery, they are given pain medication to manage it.

After a BBL surgery and patient has seemed to have lost up to 15 to 20 percent of their body fat.

The average age for a facelift has gone up to 50 years in the recent times.

While facelift is considered to be one of the more effective anti-ageing cosmetic surgeries, some of the non-surgical alternatives include LED, Botox, Thermage, Ultherapy and more.

Facelift is the most effective cosmetic surgery that can get rid of wrinkles, sagging skin and jowls.

The first level of recovery after a facelift surgery takes around four weeks depending on person to person.

While the surgery itself is not painful since the patient remains under general anesthesia, they may feel pain for 2 to 3 days after a facelift that can be managed with pain medications.

Sometimes the patients are given chin-straps after a facelift so that the alterations can remain fixed to the skin. This chin strap will remain in the face for two weeks after a facelift.

A tummy tuck is a popular cosmetic surgery with high success rates when it comes to tightening and lifting the skin and muscles of an ageing or sagging stomach.

During the tummy tuck surgery, the patient is unconscious under anesthesia and post-surgery the pain may remain for some time but can be managed with pain medications.

People often lose up to 3 to 4 sizes on their waist line after a tummy tuck.

A tummy tuck surgery may last anywhere between one to five hours depending on what type of surgery is conducted.

A person of age 18 to 50 years are ideal to go through a tummy tuck with the recommendation of their doctors.

As mentioned above the risks associated with the revision surgery are more as compared to the primary knee replacement. Some of the common risks and complications associated with surgery are Bleeding, Infection, Drainage of fluids from the wound, Damage to the surrounding nerves or blood vessels, Fracture during the surgery and Blood clotting

Usually, regional anaesthesia is used for revision knee replacement. This includes, Spinal block - The anaesthetic medication is injected into the Cerebro-Spinal fluid present around the spinal cord. This causes numbness in the lower part of the body. Epidural block - This type of anaesthesia is administered by using a catheter in the lower back to deliver the medication at a variable time period. Peripheral nerve block - This is a type of local anaesthesia that is administered in one of the major nerves in the thigh. This causes numbness only in one leg if a single knee replacement is needed.

Some of the common recommendations given by the knee transplant surgeons after the revision knee surgery are: start walking with the help of a walker or a stick and try to put weight on your leg as per your comfort, use ice packs 3-4 times a day to reduce pain and swelling after the surgery, make sure the incision does not get wet, Keep the incision clean and dry, if you notice any drainage or redness around the incision, or you get a fever, report your doctor urgently and avoid taking shower until the sutures are removed.

The knee revision surgery alternatives are rarely used, and sometimes may have worse implications. These alternatives include Arthrodesis that is the fusion of the knee joint in a non-bending position, and Amputation which means the severely infected knee joint is taken out completely. If you have been recommended to get the revision knee replacement, you must consult Ortil Health. Ortil is an online platform to facilitate your journey and assist you with everything during your treatment. The motive is to make your medical trip smooth and pleasant.

The recovery time for the revision surgery is certainly more than the primary hip replacement surgery. Usually, it takes 4-5 months to recover completely. However, in some cases, this time period may also extend to 12 - 15 months.

According to a recent study, nearly 95% of the surgeries are successful. About 4-5% of the patient who undergoes the surgery may need another surgery after 10 years.

The chances of failure in the revision surgery are relatively much higher. Hence it is important to be careful and not put too much pressure on the operated side. The patients need to make sure they sleep with their knees separated. They must not bend the knees at 90 degrees. Otherwise, there are chances of pain or dislocation.

You may need blood during the surgery or immediately after it. It depends on the severity of the condition. If a minor surgery is done, blood transfusion can be avoided. However, in cases of bone grafting or metal augmentation, where there may be heavy blood loss, you may need more blood. Consult Ortil if you are planning to get revision hip replacement surgery in India. We provide you with the best joint replacement surgeons and world-class hospitals, everything at pocket-friendly prices.

No, both these procedures are not the same. In kyphoplasty, a balloon is first inserted into the fractured vertebra to create a cavity, and then a cement mixture is injected. In vertebroplasty, bone cement is injected into the fractured vertebra.

Vertebroplasty is a minimally invasive surgical procedure in which special bone cement is injected into a fractured vertebra to relieve spinal pain.

Vertebral cement augmentation is a new treatment used for vertebral fractures. In this procedure, bone cement is injected into a fractured vertebra.

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia. A balloon is first infused into the fractured vertebra. After the balloon is in the right place that is inside the damaged vertebra, it will be inflated to create a space within the bone. This gap is then filled by bone cement

When compression fracture is not able to heal with nonsurgical treatments then vertebroplasty is performed. It is performed on patients over 65 of age and who are suffering from osteoporosis.

To ease the pain while sitting down to standing up, there are several tips to be followed. For sitting, use a straight-backed chair with arms that offers firm and comfortable support.

Yes, you can walk in proper shoes and walk for a few minutes a day only and while walking maintain good body and spine posture.

Yes, the compressed vertebrae can be fixed. There are several non-surgical and surgical treatments to fix this problem and ease the pain.

It takes about 3 months to fully recover from this problem.

If left untreated, it can cause several other health problems. This includes deformity, severe pain, and loss of height.

Vertebroplasty can be performed as an outpatient or an inpatient procedure. All the approaches of vertebroplasty take no more than 30-45 minutes depending on how many fractures there are in vertebrae.

The Herniated Disk Symptoms are pain while sitting, numbness, weakness, or tingling along the front in the limbs, and sharp or burning pain that might shoot into the leg or arm while coughing, sneezing or lifting heavy objects.

Herniated Disk Treatment includes non-surgical and surgical treatments. The non-surgical treatments include pain relief medications and physical therapy. The surgical options are microdiscectomy, laminectomy, artificial disc surgery and Spinal fusion.

The symptoms of a herniated disc may dissipate eventually often without any medical treatment. However, this does not mean that herniated disc has completely healed.

If left untreated, a spinal hernia can lead to permanent soft tissue and nerve damage. In a few cases, this condition can cut off nerves in your back and legs and this may lead to losing control of the bladder or bowel.

In the case of women, hernias can be thought to be fibroids, ovarian cysts, endometriosis, or other abdominal issues.

The muscle pain hurts less with bending forward and hurts more with bending forward, whereas disc herniation hurts both ways - bending forward and returning to the right position.

One may resume back office after herniated disk recovery. Most of the patients with desk jobs can return to work in just 1-2 weeks. The patients with strenuous jobs may return to work in about 6 weeks.

If you have a herniated disc, avoid these daily activities - sitting for long as it puts stress on spinal discs, doing laundry, vacuuming, strenuous exercise, or gardening.

There are two different procedures for tricuspid valve replacement and repair - traditional tricuspid valve repair and minimally invasive valve repair. However, the repair is usually done with open-heart surgery.

The required hospital stay for open heart surgery is 7 to 10 days.

Tricuspid valve repair is a major surgery that risks bleeding, blood clots, valve dysfunction in replacement valves (valve prostheses), heart rhythm problems, infection, or stroke.

Tricuspid valve replacement is not a preferred procedure as tricuspid valve disease is rare and can be treated with repair surgery.

In tricuspid valve regurgitation, pressure can increase on the right ventricle due to blood flowing backward into the right atrium. If tricuspid valve regurgitation is left untreated, it can worsen the health and can lead to heart failure.

There are four valves in the heart: the tricuspid valve, the pulmonary, the aortic valve, and the mitral valve. People can live without the pulmonary valve and tricuspid valve.

The results of tricuspid valve repair surgery last for 15 to 20 years. Moreover, patients do not have to take blood thinners.

During tricuspid valve repair or replacement surgery, an incision is made in the breastbone. The heart is stopped, and the heart-lung machine is used to supply blood to the body.

This valve is located between the right atrium and the right ventricle and separates them. When this valve fails to close properly, tricuspid regurgitation occurs. In this condition, blood will flow back into the right atrium when the right ventricle meets. This disease can weaken the heart over a period of time.

Candidates with a leaky heart valve can benefit from daily light exercise, like walking. When valve disease gets severe, exercise may be a problem. However, before starting any strenuous or contact sports, consult with a doctor.

Tricuspid regurgitation is caused when the lower right heart chamber increases in size due to which the tricuspid valve stops working properly. Rheumatic valve disease is the main reason behind tricuspid regurgitation.

In an allogeneic stem cell transplantation, healthy blood-forming cells are collected from donors and transferred to the patients body. These cells replace patients stem cells that are destroyed by intensive treatment.

The Allogenic Stem Cell Transplant Recovery time varies from patient to patient. Most patients start doing daily activities in about 3 months.

With the advanced techniques and treatments, the survival rate has improved over years.

In autologous transplants, a healthy stem cell is collected from the patients body and given back after the treatment. In an allogeneic transplant, the healthy stem cells are collected from a matched related or unrelated donor.

The procedure may help to live longer and also require some lifestyle changes. These changes include avoiding cigarettes, cigars, marijuana, and other tobacco products.

Only a few patients lose their weight during the transplantation or in recovery time.

The side effects of stem cell therapy include mouth and throat pain, nausea and vomiting, infection, bleeding and transfusions, Graft failure, and more

Depending on the type of procedure, the cost of a stem cell transplant varies and also based on the country

In some cases, a stem cell transplant might not work. The reason behind this is that donors cells have been rejected by the patients body. In this case, it will stop the new immune system from developing.

Stem cell therapy can be used to cure spinal cord injuries, Parkinson's disease, type 1 diabetes, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, heart disease, Alzheimer's disease, stroke, cancer, burns, osteoarthritis, and other non-cancerous diseases.

Patients have 25% chances of having the same tissue type as sibling/s.

The procedure relieves pain for more than a decade. Moreover, it provides permanent repair in some soft tissue injuries.

More than 35% of patients may experience fatigue for at least 1 year after the procedure.

There are several foods that patients need to avoid after an Allogenic Stem Cell Transplant procedure. These include undercooked meat, seafood, raw milk, unwashed fresh fruits, vegetables and uncooked sprouts.

There are various factors that contribute to the price of Allogenic Stem Cell Transplant. It depends on the condition of the patient, the number of treatments required, and the complexity of the procedure.

To find a stem cell match, doctors perform a blood test for HLA typing or tissue typing. The surface of the blood cells of donor and patient are compared after that.

Doctors recommend avoiding alcohol for at least 4 weeks before and a few months after the Allogeneic Transplant procedure.

The cataract will keep on progressing if not given timely treatment. This will result in increased opaqueness in the lens, ultimately ending up in blindness. Additionally, getting the surgery done in the later stages may increase the chances of associated risks and complications.

The intraocular lens which mostly used in the cataract surgery procedure lasts for a lifetime.

The surgeons routinely use an eye holder to keep the eye open during the surgery. Moreover, the local anesthesia deprives the eyelid of any sensation, which facilitates the eye holder to do its job.

Yes. In most cases, cataract surgery is successful and lasts for a lifetime. In rare cases, revision surgery is needed.
