Prostate / Bladder Cancer (प्रोस्टेट / मूत्राशय कैंसर)

Prostate and bladder cancer are conditions where abnormal cells grow uncontrollably in the prostate gland or urinary bladder. Early diagnosis, accurate staging, and timely treatment play a crucial role in improving survival and quality of life.

प्रोस्टेट / मूत्राशय कैंसर ऐसी स्थिति है जिसमें प्रोस्टेट ग्रंथि या मूत्राशय में असामान्य कोशिकाएँ अनियंत्रित रूप से बढ़ने लगती हैं। समय रहते पहचान, सही स्टेजिंग और आधुनिक इलाज से जीवन प्रत्याशा और जीवन की गुणवत्ता बेहतर होती है।

(हर डॉक्टर तक, हर समय — Doctech के साथ)


💠 1️⃣ परिचय (Introduction)

🔹 Prostate Cancer (प्रोस्टेट कैंसर)

प्रोस्टेट एक छोटी ग्रंथि है जो केवल पुरुषों में होती है और मूत्राशय के नीचे स्थित रहती है।
इसका मुख्य कार्य है — वीर्य (semen) का द्रव बनाना।

जब प्रोस्टेट की कोशिकाएँ असामान्य रूप से बढ़ने लगती हैं, तो यह Prostate Cancer (प्रोस्टेट कैंसर) कहलाता है।
यह कैंसर धीरे-धीरे बढ़ता है और शुरुआती अवस्था में कोई लक्षण नहीं देता।

📖 In English:

Prostate cancer occurs when abnormal cells grow uncontrollably in the prostate gland. It usually develops slowly but can spread if not treated early.


🔹 Bladder Cancer (मूत्राशय कैंसर)

मूत्राशय (Bladder) वह अंग है जिसमें मूत्र जमा होता है।
इसकी अंदरूनी दीवार (lining) में जब कोशिकाएँ असामान्य रूप से बढ़ने लगती हैं,
तो यह Bladder Cancer (मूत्राशय कैंसर) कहलाता है।

📖 In English:

Bladder cancer starts in the lining of the bladder where urine is stored. It may remain localized or spread to nearby organs if untreated.

What is Cataract? (Motiyabind)

English: A Cataract is the clouding of the natural lens inside the eye, leading to blurred or decreased vision. It usually develops slowly with age.

Hindi: मोतीबिंद एक ऐसी अवस्था है जिसमें आँख का प्राकृतिक लेंस धुंधला हो जाता है, जिससे दृष्टि धीरे-धीरे कम होने लगती है।

Causes of Cataract

  • 👵 Aging (उम्र बढ़ना)
  • 👁️ Injury or Eye Infection
  • 🩸 Diabetes
  • 🚬 Smoking & Alcohol
  • 🌞 UV Light Exposure
  • 💊 Long-term Steroid Use
  • 👨‍👩‍👦 Family History

Types of Cataract

Nuclear Cataract

Forms in the center of the lens and is age-related.

Cortical Cataract

White wedge-like opacities toward the edges of the lens.

Posterior Subcapsular

Affects the back of the lens; causes glare & bright light issues.

Congenital Cataract

Present at birth or develops in childhood.

Cataract Treatment

Cataract cannot be treated with medicines or eye drops. The only permanent solution is surgery where the cloudy lens is removed and replaced with an artificial lens (IOL).

मोतीबिंद दवा या चश्मे से ठीक नहीं होता। इसका एकमात्र इलाज सर्जरी है, जिसमें पुराने धुंधले लेंस को हटाकर नया लेंस लगाया जाता है।
