Coloproctologists are celebrating a professional holiday today
Two physicians of this specialty work in Nizhnekamsk Central District Multifunctional Hospital.
The coloproctologist, surgeon of the highest qualification category Faragat Shagadatovich Khairutdinov told us about the peculiarities of his work. Faragat Shagadatovich has worked in medicine for 27 years. The most pleasant thing about his profession, the physician says, is when the patient recovers.
"Previously, our profile was called "proctology", which meant diseases of the rectum. And since 1997, according to the international classification of diseases, this nosology has been called "Coloproctology", that is, our doctors deal with diseases of the rectum and colon.
We are confronted with different pathologies. There are diseases that directly depend on nutrition and lifestyle. And some diseases are caused by individual characteristics of the body, a person is born with them. In order not to get to us on the operating table for reasons that a person can provoke himself, the main rule was and remains to observe the healthy lifestyle: do not abuse or do not drink alcohol at all, quit smoking, follow a diet. I highly recommend eating plant-based foods, vegetable fiber, more vegetables, fruits, salads, vegetable soups and stews. All this is necessary in order for the intestines to work every day like a clock.
Also, our doctors often have to treat patients with chronic hemorrhoids. The disease also depends on nutrition, on a sedentary lifestyle, on constipation, on the fact that people eat dry food, incorrectly and do not observe personal hygiene.
Unfortunately, there are some patients who hesitate to go to a doctor of our profile, this area of medicine is still very sensitive. But this is not a reason to neglect your health, you need to force yourself to go to a specialist.
My advice to everyone - treat your body carefully, pass regular medical examinations. If there are any reasons for concern, if you do not like something in the work of your body, any complaints appear, in any case do not self-medicate. You must go to a specialist and be examined. This is especially true for the older age group, in order to prevent advanced forms of cancer and malignant diseases of the colon. After all, it happens that patients end up on the operating table with severe, advanced diseases, and in this case it is very difficult to help them.
We sincerely congratulate our colleagues on their professional holiday and wish them good health, prosperity and professional success!
