| Content | Cataract, also known as the disease of old age, is a type of eye disease that seriously affects the quality of life as well as eye health. Cataract manifests itself with signs such as double vision, blurred vision, and deterioration of night vision, causing a decrease in vision over time. This disease, which affects your living standards, needs to be treated. It can be said that medical treatment of cataract with drugs is not possible.
It is performed with a surgical operation as the only treatment of cataract disease. Today, this surgery is performed with laser and with very advanced technologies. The most important point here is that the patient who will have cataract surgery is recommended to have an ophthalmologist who is an expert in this field. This surgery, which is directly proportional to the cataract surgery experience of the ophthalmologist, can be performed and treated during the day. This should be done by the best doctors, in the best and sterile environment.
Is there a risk of cataract surgery?
Like any eye surgery, cataract surgery carries risks. However, the success rate of the surgery is very high despite the risks it carries. With today's technologies, cataract surgery methods have been developed and they are performed with micro incisions and without stitches. After cataract surgery performed by a specialist surgeon, the patient can quickly return to his daily life. As we have mentioned before, it is of great importance that cataract surgery is performed by specialist physicians. Therefore, you should be careful when choosing a hospital.
What should be considered after cataract surgery?
After cataract surgery, the patient should be fed with light foods.
Heavy loads should not be lifted for 1 week after the operation.
The person who had the surgery should not drive the day after the surgery.
As for taking a shower, it is possible to take a shower as long as the water does not touch the eyes.
After the operation, pressure should not be applied to the eye and should be protected from impacts.
On the first day after the operation, the eyes can be blurred and it is a normal phenomenon. Support can be obtained to walk in a healthy way. |

| If you are very close to your ideal nose and there is an uncomfortable appearance only at the tip or holes of the nose, a minor surgical intervention is sufficient with today's technology. With tip plasty, it is possible to experience a change in a short time and easily.
What is Tip plasty?
Tip plasty (nasal tip aesthetics) is the surgery performed to give the desired appearance of the cartilage in the front of the nose without touching the nasal bone, in patients who do not have any curvature or deformation in the nasal bone, but have curvature, width, coarseness, irregularity in the nasal anterior cartilage, or wideness in the nostrils.
How long does nose tip plastic surgery take?
The operation takes an average of 20-30 minutes.
Is rhinoplasty a painful operation?
With the drugs given to the nose during the operation, postoperative pain is not felt.
To whom can it be done?
Tip plasty can be performed to beautify the tip of the nose and to eliminate the existing problem in patients who do not have any problems on the back of the nose, the bone structures on the sides of the nose, the septum area in the middle of the nose, the nasal ridge is smooth, the nose is not flattened and wide, and only on the tip of the nose.
With this surgery:
- Thinning the tip of the nose
- Lifting the tip of the nose
- Changing the angle of the nose tip
- Bringing the tip of the nose forward
- Elimination of deformities in the nostrils
- Removal of excess nose wings
- Correction of nasal tip problems can be performed in patients who have had previous nose surgery.
Points to be considered after nasal tip aesthetics and the healing process
Nasal tip aesthetics is a slightly easier surgery with a shorter recovery period compared to other nose surgeries. The patient can return to his daily life in a very short time.
It is recommended to use nasal spray to clean and moisturize the nose after tip plasty. With the cold compress to be applied, the swelling starts to decrease rapidly within 2 days. After the 7th day, the person can easily continue his normal life. The numbness at the tip of the nose may continue for 1 or 2 months. Rapid recovery is achieved in the first 3 months, and full recovery is achieved within 6 to 12 months. |

Breast Health Package for Women Over 40
Our Breast Health Center, which is a part of Yaşam Hospital Oncology Center, offers all the possibilities of technology to provide the best care to every woman.
What is Mammography?
Mammography is the low-dose X-ray imaging of the breast tissue to look for early signs of breast cancer before symptoms develop. It can also be used for due diligence when a new symptom (lump or focal pain) develops in the breast tissue.
When viewed on a mammogram, breast tissue appears white and opaque (nebula), while fatty tissue appears darker and translucent.
When Should a Mammogram Be Done?
Annual screening mammograms are recommended for all women from the age of 40. Women who do not have any breast-related signs or symptoms are also screened. If an abnormality is present or patients have a new symptom (a lump or focal pain), additional evaluation may be required. Further examination will reveal what these suspected abnormalities are.
What Percent of Women Who Have Had Mammography Have Risky Situations?
Potential abnormalities are found in 6 to 8 percent of women who get mammograms. This group undergoes different additional evaluations, which may include breast physical examination, diagnostic mammography, breast ultrasound or needle biopsy.After these additional evaluations are completed, it becomes clear what the abnormalities found on the mammogram are.
What Does an Abnormality Look Like on a Mammogram?
The possible abnormality on a mammogram may be called a nodule, mass, lump, density or deterioration:
A mass (lump) with a smooth, well-defined border is usually benign.
Ultrasound is necessary to see and identify the inside of a mass. If the mass contains fluid, it is called a cyst.
A mass (lump) with irregular borders or a starburst appearance may be cancerous and a biopsy is usually recommended.
Microcalcifications (small calcium deposits) are another type of abnormality. They can be classified as benign, suspicious, or uncertain. Most microcalcifications are benign. Depending on how the microcalcifications appear in additional studies (magnification views), a biopsy may be recommended.
What is the Accuracy Rate of Mammography?
Diagnoses made by mammography are between 85 percent and 90 percent accurate. Mammograms can detect breast abnormalities before they are large enough to be felt. However, a palpable mass may not be seen on a mammogram. Any abnormality you feel while examining your breasts should be evaluated by your doctor.
What Should Be Considered Before Mammography?
You can follow your normal routine before the mammogram. You can take your medications and maintain your eating and drinking patterns. If you are breastfeeding, pregnant or think you may be pregnant, you should tell your doctor as your mammogram may need to be postponed.
What Should I Pay Attention to When Coming to My Mammography Appointment?
The technician will ask you to remove one breast from your bib at a time and place it on the chest support plate. The image of the breast is taken by clamping it between two plates. In the meantime, pressure is applied to the breast, preventing the breast from moving. This pressure spreads the breast tissue, allowing the radiologist to see the tissue better. Also, the least amount of radiation is used when the breast is compressed as finely as possible.
You may feel some discomfort during 3-5 seconds of pressure. If you cannot tolerate the pressure, please let the technician know. Pressure can be more bothersome at some times in a woman’s menstrual cycle. To minimize discomfort, we recommend scheduling your appointment seven to 10 days after the start of your period.

How Does the Process Proceed After Mammography?
There may be temporary skin discoloration and/or mild pain in the chest due to compression. Most women will be able to resume their normal activities soon after their mammogram. Your results will be available within a few days after the test. After getting the results, your doctor will explain everything to you.
How Often Should You Have a Mammogram?
Regular mammograms every year, starting at the age of 40, will enable you to recognize potential risks early.
