Dynamic Family Doctors: Skilled Minor Surgery Professionals for treating Breast Lumps

Breast lumps are common and most are benign, meaning they are not cancerous. Breast lumps can occur in both women and men, but they are much more common in women. Many women have harmless breast lumps or cysts that go away on their own. If a breast lump is found, it does not necessarily mean you have breast cancer. In fact, less than 2% of all breast lumps turn out to be cancerous. Breast lumps can be painful or painless and are caused by a number of things, including infection, hormonal changes, non-cancerous or cancerous growths, and even trauma.

If you have concerning lumps that feel harder, distinct from the rest of the breast (or the other breast), or like a change, the best thing to do is to see your healthcare provider so they can determine the cause. This kind of bump could be an indication of benign breast disease (such as a cyst or fibroadenoma) or can be a breast cancer.

In Auckland, Dynamic Family Doctors provide the most efficient and personalized examination for suspected breast lumps and where appropriate, minor surgery services. We have skilled medical professionals who strive to give you a fine outcome for your cyst, lump or bump removal procedure- that’s what we do best!

Monkeypox Virus updates - New Zealand confirms fifth case of Monkeypox

Monkeypox is a rare disease caused by the monkeypox virus. Monkeypox virus is part of the same family of viruses as the variola virus, the virus that causes smallpox.

When a person has monkeypox, they may develop a rash that covers their hands, feet, chest, face, or mouth in addition to perhaps appearing on or close to their genitalia or a**s. Prior to healing, the rash will go through a number of stages, including scabs. The rash may first resemble acne or blisters and may hurt or itch.

The Ministry of Health has confirmed a fifth case of Monkeypox in New Zealand. The government has secured more than 500 courses of Monkeypox medicine called Tecovirimat but no date has been set for them to become available. WHO has confirmed more than 50,000 cases globally, with a small number of deaths. There is currently no specific treatment or vaccine available for Monkeypox. The smallpox vaccine can help reduce the severity of this disease, but it's not 100% effective against those who get infected with it!

Prevent from being infected with or spreading the monkeypox virus.

Take these steps to prevent infection with or the spread of the monkeypox virus:
• Avoid close contact with people who have a rash that looks like monkeypox.
• Avoid handling clothes, sheets, blankets, or other materials that have been in contact with an infected animal or person.
• Isolate people who have monkeypox from healthy people.
• Wash your hands well with soap and water after any contact with an infected person or animal.
• Avoid animals that may carry the virus.

With Dynamic Family Doctors, commemorate Prostate Cancer Awareness Month.

September is a Prostate Cancer Awareness Month. Prostate cancer is the most common non-skin cancer diagnosed in men, and the second leading cause of cancer deaths in men, after lung cancer.

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) states that adenocarcinomas make up the majority of cases of prostate cancer (cancers that begin in cells that make and release mucus and other fluids). Often, there are no early signs of prostate cancer.
Symptoms of prostate cancer.

What to do if you exhibit the symptoms of female bladder control issues?

Urinary incontinence is a condition when people cannot prevent themselves from leaking out urine when they do not want to. There are many causes for this, including weakness or loss of control over one's sphincter muscle group (which enables you to go longer periods without having an accident).

It can also happen due to other factors, such as coughing, during and after pregnancy, and it is more common with conditions such as obesity. Bladder control and pelvic floor, or Kegel exercises can help prevent or reduce it.

The following are common symptoms of urinary incontinence. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
• Needing to rush to the restroom and/or losing urine if you do not get to the restroom in time.
• Urine leakage with movements or exercise.
• Leakage of urine that prevents activities.
• Urine leakage with coughing, sneezing or laughing.
• Leakage of urine that began or continued after surgery.
• Constant feeling of wetness without the sensation of urine leakage.
• The feeling of incomplete bladder emptying.

Dynamic Doctors can help you with your morning sickness.

Morning sickness is nausea and vomiting that occurs during pregnancy. Many pregnant women have morning sickness, especially during the first trimester. But some women have morning sickness throughout pregnancy.

The actual reason for morning sickness is unknown. Low blood sugar levels or an increase in pregnancy hormones like human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) or estrogen may be to blame. Morning sickness may be worsened by stress, being overtired, eating certain foods, or having sensitivity to motion.

Numerous scents, spicy meals, heat, excessive salivation, and getting excessively dehydrated are common triggers for nausea and vomiting that occurs more than three times each day, which are common morning sickness symptoms.

When to see a doctor? Contact your health care provider if:
• Nausea, vomiting, or both are severe.
• The urine is darker than usual.
• There is less urine than usual.
• It is difficult or impossible to keep liquids down.
• There is dizziness when standing.
• The person faints when standing.
• The person has a racing heartbeat.
• There is blood in the vomit.

Foreign body in the eye, causes & treatment.

Foreign bodies in the eye can be anything from metal, glass or organic materials such as insects. They may cause bleeding into the whites of the eyes due to blood collection under the conjunctiva, the lining membranes of the eye. Blood over the iris of the eye is known as hyphemia. This is often a sign of a serious eye injury.

Protective eyewear can help prevent a foreign body in your eye when you are exposed to tiny flying debris due to its surroundings. Explosions, hammering, and high-speed equipment like drills and saws are all potential causes.

Treatment of foreign bodies in eyes:
• The doctor or nurse checks your vision.
• Once they find the foreign body, they gently remove it after numbing the eye with anaesthetic eye drops.
• You can wash your eyes with saline water to flush out any dust and dirt.
• Your eye may be patched to allow it to rest and any scratches to heal.
• Your doctor will want to see you again to check that your eye is healing and that your vision is all right.
• If there are any serious problems, or a residual rust ring, you will be sent to an ophthalmologist.
