A symptom is an indication of disease, illness, injury, or that something is not right in the body. Symptoms are felt or noticed by a person, but may not easily be noticed by anyone else. For example, chills, weakness, achiness, shortness of breath, and a cough may be symptoms of pneumonia. A sign is also an indication that something is not right in the body. But signs are defined as things that can be seen by a doctor, nurse, or other health care professional. Fever, rapid breathing rate, and abnormal breathing sounds heard through a stethoscope may be signs of pneumonia.

Having one symptom or sign may not give enough information to suggest a cause. For example, a rash in a child could be a symptom of a number of things including poison ivy, an infectious disease like measles, an infection limited to the skin, or a food allergy. But if the rash is seen along with other signs and symptoms like a high fever, chills, achiness, and a sore throat, then a doctor can get a better picture of the illness. In many cases, a patient’s signs and symptoms do not give enough clues by themselves for the doctor to figure out the cause of an illness.

Generally cancers are formed from oncogenic cells. These are the cells that are affected by oncogenes; genes that stimulate uncontrollable cell division leading to formation of tumors. When such a tumor occurs in the cervix of a woman’s body, it causes cervical cancer and the pap smear test is the test which is used to detect and confirm this.

The cervix is the area near the uterus of the female anatomy. The anatomical opening connecting to the cervix is the vagina. For the examination of the area during the pap smear testing, the examiner will insert an instrument called the speculum into the vagina. Unlike other similar devices, the speculum is used to enable direct vision. Once the cervix is visible, the manual procedure of cleansing the cervix with a cotton swab is carried out. A sample of cells are then collected and studied under the microscope. Continue reading ‘Pap Smear Test – The Process to Detect and Address Cervical Cancer’ »

The prognosis for melanoma can be very good, especially when detected early.

The melanoma signs can appear anywhere on your body, but they most often appear on areas that have had the most sun exposure such as your face, arms, back and legs. It can also appear on other areas that have had very little sun exposure, such as under your feet, palms of your hands and at the fingernails. It is more common for people with dark skin to have these hidden melanomas.

One needs to be very aware of the dangers of radiation from the sun and tanning beds. All too often people raise their own risk of melanoma due to overexposure to ultraviolet rays. It needs to be kept in mind that melanoma is the most deadly form of skin cancer.

So what is the prognosis of melanoma?

Well it’s similar to any skin cancer prognosis in that it depends on the staging. Whereas the two other most common types of skin cancer (basal cell and squamous cell) grow slower and are usually more detectable in the early stages, the melanoma staging can advance more quickly and undetected.

What appears as a simple mole on your skin can be travelling inward without you even knowing. Continue reading ‘Prognosis For Melanoma’ »
