Emergency Care – Risk Factors

Several factors can increase the likelihood of developing anorectal disorders. Understanding these risks can help in prevention and early management:

Smoking

Smoking is one of the leading causes of bladder cancer. Chemicals in tobacco smoke can damage the lining of the bladder, increasing the risk.

Gender

Men are at a higher risk of developing bladder cancer than women.

Chronic Bladder Infections or Inflammation

Conditions such as bladder infections and long-term bladder inflammation can increase the risk.

Exposure to Chemicals

Prolonged exposure to certain chemicals, especially those used in the dye industry, rubber production, and chemical manufacturing, increases the risk.

Chronic Diseases

Heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, asthma, or COPD.

Age

Elderly patients and infants are more prone to life-threatening complications.

Smoking and Alcohol Consumption

Increases risk of stroke, heart attack, and liver failure.

Unhealthy Lifestyle

Poor diet, obesity, and lack of exercise contribute to cardiac and metabolic emergencies.

Stress

Chronic stress can trigger hypertension or heart irregularities.

Occupational Hazards

Exposure to chemicals, machinery, or trauma-prone environments.

Environmental Factors

Extreme heat, cold, or pollution can worsen existing conditions.

Neglected Symptoms

Ignoring early signs like chest pain or fatigue often leads to emergencies.

Poor Road Safety

High-speed accidents and lack of helmet/seatbelt use contribute to trauma cases.

Emergency Care

While emergency care focuses on immediate survival, nutrition plays a crucial role in recovery. After stabilization, patients at VS Hospitals receive individualized nutritional plans to regain strength and aid healing.

Routine Health Screenings: Regular blood pressure, sugar, and cholesterol checks
Cardiac Risk Profiling: Especially for those over 40 years old
Vaccination Drives: Preventing infectious diseases like flu and pneumonia

Healthy Diet & Exercise: Reduces obesity and cardiovascular strain
Stress Management: Yoga, mindfulness, and balanced work-life routine
