Gall Bladder Stones

OVERVIEW

  • The bladder is a hollow muscular organ in the lower abdomen where urine gets stored. Bladder cancer usually forms on urothelial cells that line the tube (ureters) connecting the kidneys to the bladder along with the bladder itself.
  • When DNA in the cells gets damaged by waste chemicals there are chances of cancer. The biggest risk factor is smoking.
  • Higher chances of bladder cancer are possible in the bladder where the urine has the longest contact with the lining of the urothelial cells which can progressively cause internal bleeding.
  • Most bladder cancers are diagnosed at an early stage even before they start spreading. The treatment methods would be surgery, chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy.
  • Mostly men are affected with bladder cancer compared to that of women and it is more common in people aged 60 and above.

Focused On Providing The Best Possible Treatment To Our Patients

We Have Created Our Care Practice Specially To Fit Your Needs

From trouble sleeping to work stress to anxiety to depression, we all have difficulty managing our emotions at times. It’s part of being human. And addressing these issues is a vital part of what we do as a primary care practice, because your emotional well-being is essential to your overall health and wellness.

We’ve redesigned the doctor’s office experience to fit your life, put you at ease, and treat you as a whole person. We create safe and inviting spaces,

ask meaningful questions, give you time to talk, and listen without judgment. Then we work with you on a plan to help you feel your best — whether you want to sleep better, feel calmer, worry less, or get a better handle on your mood.

To continue shedding a light on mental health issues, we teamed up with the award-winning musicians from Bear and a Banjo to create a song showing people they’re not alone. See how the project came to life in the video above — and if you’re struggling, we can help.
