KG Hospital conducts cancer awareness programme for women at Aruvankadu:
KG Hospital organized an awareness camp on “Breast, cervical and ovarian cancers in women” on the Cordite Factory premises at Aruvankadu, the Nilgiris, on September 24, 2019. As many as 65 women attended the camp.
Dr Kavitha, a Post-Graduate Doctor in Gynaecology, gave a lucid talk on various types of cancers afflicting women. Women were susceptible to get breast, cervical and ovarian cancers.
Abnormal rise in Oestrogen level would also cause cancer. Late marriage and late pregnancy might also cause cancer.
The other causes of cancer could be eating junk foods, stress, sleep disorder and lack of physical exercise. The PG Doctor said that women above 21 years of age could take pap smear test to detect cancer.
Mammogram could be done for women 40 years and above. Children would not get fibroids. Therefore, there was no need for anxiety on this score. In case of doubt, doctor’s advice could be sought.
At puberty there would be a likelihood of getting cancer. In case of any doubt over breast cancer, self examination could be done. But self examination should be avoided during or immediately after menstruation period.
When any discharge was noticed in the ni***es, it was mandatory to consult a doctor. Dr Kavitha stated that KG Hospital has ultra modern facilities, including Mammogram, to detect and treat cancer in women.
In the interactive session that followed Dr Kavitha cleared the doubts raised by the women participants. She emphasized the need for taking preventive measures such as diet control and physical exercises for leading a happy and healthy life.
Dr Kavitha emphatically said that talcum powder should not be applied to reproductive organs because it posed cancer risk.
President of the Women’s Welfare Association Mrs Renu Singh, Vice-President Mrs Latha Chetty, Secretary Ms Priya Balan, Chief Medical Officer (Cordite Factory) Dr Rajesh Gopal, KG Hospital Manager Mr Sadhasivam were also present.

Timely surgery saves UK dentist

Dentist John Young (64) left for home in London with the smile back on his face. He was rushed to the KG Hospital with severe abdominal pain.

Dr. Young's case was probably the toughest encountered by laparoscopic surgeon VP Shanmughasundaram. He had already undergone five surgeries: for cancer in the colon (intestine), an ileostomy closure (to stop passing of motion through the intestine), one for removal of the spleen after an accident 10 years ago and two cancer surgeries in the lungs. With plenty of surgical scars and the doctors had to look for an untouched portion in his abdomen for open surgery. Dr. Young had obstipation (cannot pass motion and gas) that caused severe pain and vomiting. The urea in his blood was 200 mg against the normal 40 mg. Both intestines were stuck due to surgical scars. Two dialysis were performed and nutritional support was given through a catheter inserted under the right collar bone.

Getting into the abdomen was tricky. The blocks were flushed out using a de-compressor, the affected part was removed and the intestine sutured back in a six-hour surgery. A medicine to prevent the intestines from sticking together was also applied. The patient recovered fully and was thankful to the doctors and team.
