Disease and Its Symptoms
A ganglion cyst is a lump that appears on the hand or foot and is often painful. Despite its alarming appearance, it is usually nothing to fear because it is benign. Due to the symptoms and the disturbing appearance, patients most often choose removal surgery. Postoperative rehabilitation plays a key role in restoring movement. I write now about the important things you should know.
With the spread of technology, health problems that were previously rare are appearing and can make your everyday life quite miserable. Lately a characteristically curved back is increasingly noticeable among young people. The condition even has a name: "tech‑back." English speakers know how catchy that name is; in Hungarian you might call it a programmer's back or an administrator's back. The phenomenon is caused by poor workplace posture, constant computer use and fiddling with mobile phones, and the complaints it causes can be very unpleasant.
One of the most common diseases of the knee joint is osteoarthritis (also called joint cartilage wear). The symptoms develop slowly and pain can torment you for years or decades. Because this is a degenerative condition, hospitals cannot do much for you. However, your doctor may recommend home physiotherapy devices. Heat therapy, TENS treatment, microcurrent, therapeutic ultrasond, magnetic therapy and softlaser treatment can help in different stages of osteoarthritis and in different ways.
Female urinary incontinence (involuntary leakage of urine) is often caused by bladder prolapse or uterine prolapse. The bladder or uterus is displaced from its normal position, descends downward and presses on the pelvic floor muscles. This can cause a constant uncomfortable sensation, make sexual intercourse painful, and disrupt urinary and bowel continence. Its treatment is much more difficult than that of “simple” incontinence.
Fecal incontinence is a disturbance or inability to retain stool, causing involuntary leakage from the rectum. In the West it is also called "bowel incontinence." Its severity varies between individuals, ranging from a few drops seeping out to a complete loss of control. Whatever the cause, fecal incontinence can be extremely embarrassing. Many people feel ashamed and do not consult a doctor, yet in most cases treatment can lead to improvement.
In our country there are tens of thousands of runners. Some run on city asphalt roads, on tartan tracks in sports fields or parks, others cover kilometers on forest or mountain trails. The harder and more frequent the training, the more common the associated complaints, pains and injuries become. The Globus Runner Pro sports muscle stimulator was created for them. My article discusses what it can be used for.
In our country there are many registered football players, but probably even more who play a few times a week with friends. Injuries are common in the heat of matches, so between two games footballers often suffer from various complaints and pains. The Globus Soccer Pro sports muscle stimulation device was created for them. Let's see what you can use it for!
The dreaded complication of diabetes is the diabetic foot, which at first manifests “only” as pain and sensory disturbances, but over time can lead to much more serious consequences. Because of worsening circulation, tissues can die in small areas and a skin wound (ulcer) forms. If the process worsens, it can cause tissue death affecting the toes or even the forefoot. Treating the diabetic foot and avoiding severe consequences largely depends on you: what and how much you eat, how much you move, and whether you follow medical instructions.
Back pain is one of the most common reasons people visit a doctor today. It can trouble you from the moment you wake up, won’t stop while you work, and even when you sit down in your armchair at home it doesn’t go away. Worse — the more you rest it, the more it hurts. Let’s look at the information that can help you avoid back pain.
In this article I briefly review the study titled “Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) treatment in the management of femoral neck fractures”, published by the Italian E. Betti and colleagues.
A dermatome is a segment of your body's surface supplied by the nerves that exit or enter at a specific spinal vertebra. Based on your symptoms, the doctor can identify at which vertebral level the problem should be sought.
Tunnel syndrome is one of the most common musculoskeletal disorders today. It is a condition in which nerves running through anatomical “tunnels” in various parts of the body become compressed. These tunnels are formed by muscles, ligaments and bones. When inflammation or swelling occurs in this narrow space, the nerves are compressed, causing various symptoms in the affected areas.
