Multiple myeloma

-

 


A cancer type is multiple myeloma which develops in a type of white blood cell known as a plasma cell. Healthy plasma cells produce antibodies that bind to and destroy bacteria, assisting your body in fighting illnesses.


Cancerous plasma cells build up in the bone marrow and crowd out healthy blood cells in multiple myeloma. Cancer cells create aberrant proteins that can lead to difficulties rather than beneficial antibodies. It's not usually necessary to start multiple myeloma treatments straight away. Your doctor might advise diligent monitoring rather than starting treatment right away if the multiple myeloma is slowly progressing and not causing any symptoms. There are several alternatives to help control the disease for those with multiple myeloma who need treatment.


SYMPTOMS

The symptoms can be included:


  • Especially in your spine or chest, bone pain

  • Nausea

  • Constipation

  • Reduced appetite

  • Perplexity or haziness of the mind

  • Fatigue

  • Many infections

  • Loss of weight

  • Leg trembling or numbness

  • Extreme thirst



If you go through any discomfortness, and have symptoms like this, then contact to oncologist. The oncologist can help you to relief the disease and get a new life.


Doctors specialising in this field can provide intricate guidance on the cases. One should always be aware and look out for symptoms which may seem like nothing at first but can turn to worse, if ignored. 


Mentionable names among some of the Best Oncologists in Kolkata are:

Dr. Sanjoy Roy  and Dr. Sayan Paul.

  Arrhythmia surgery is a medical procedure performed to treat irregular heartbeats, also known as arrhythmias. These abnormal heart rhythms can cause symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, shortness of breath, and even chest pain. If left untreated, they can lead to serious complications, such as stroke or heart failure. Arrhythmia surgery is usually recommended when medication and other non-invasive treatments fail to control the irregular heartbeats. The procedure involves the use of various techniques to destroy or modify the abnormal electrical pathways in the heart. Some of the techniques used in arrhythmia surgery include catheter ablation, maze procedure, and implantable devices such as pacemakers and defibrillators. Catheter ablation is a minimally invasive procedure in which a thin, flexible tube (catheter) is inserted through a vein in the groin and threaded up to the heart. Once in the heart, the catheter is used to deliver energy (such as radiofrequency or cryotherapy)...

CANCER AND MENTAL HEALTH- IT DOESN’T JUST AFFECT YOUR BODY

As far as treatment for cancer goes, with recent technology and advanced methods of treating the disease the procedure has of course become a lot less painful and efficient, decreasing mortality rate by quite a lot as compared to traditional methods of treatment. Doctors now have a better understanding of the causes, symptoms and effects and how to treat their patients accurately. The patients too are always updated and consoled to the best one can, but does it mean that those affected are free of mental and emotional distress? Unfortunately the answer is still a no for this one. Knowing that one has ‘cancer’, irrespective of the sort and the intensity, the word itself has the capability to put a person into deep distress. Feelings of depression, anxiety and fear are very common in such cases. It is a tug of war between life and death and the exhaustion of anticipation is clearly high on a person and their loved ones. No matter how much knowledge and sympathy or compassion one might ge...
