Which surgery is better for grade 2 brain tumor? Should the patient opt for Radiosurgery or Craniotomy?

Generally there are 4 types of Resection to remove a tumor: 

  1. Gross total: The entire tumor is removed. However, sometimes microscopic cells may remain.
  2. Subtotal: A large portion of the tumor is removed.
  3. Partial: Only part of the tumor is removed.
  4. Biopsy only: Only a small portion is removed, which is used for a biopsy.

 

The treatment or surgery depends on several factors like type of cancer, the stage of cancer, location, age of patient, general health, associated comorbidities and others. Consult an oncologist, who on evaluation of the patient will guide you to choose the best treatment suitable for the patient.

These symptoms can be caused by various factors, including changes in vision, dehydration, or even stress. Since you've recently updated your glasses, it may take time for your eyes and brain to adjust. I recommend staying well-hydrated, taking breaks between tasks, and practicing relaxation techniques. However, if these sensations continue or worsen, consulting a healthcare professional is wise to rule out any underlying issues and ensure your well-being.

What happens if someone eats 6 pills of neurobion forte tablets.

Female | 37

Taking 6 neurobion forte pills in one go may seem harmless but actually can prove dangerous. It is possible for the person to experience stomach pain, vomiting, and dizziness after inhaling this drug. This is due to the body becoming overloaded with certain nutrients. In this case, you should drink a lot of water, rest, and consume light foods. It's crucial not to exceed the dosage prescribed by your doctor. If the situation worsens, get in touch with a doctor.

My legs are having weakness. Feel like sleeping a lot. Neck pain due to cervical slso. Don't feel like eating anything

Female | 48

You seem to feel weakened as your legs are not strong. Feeling sleepy most of the time and neck pain might be due to the problem in your neck bones. Not being hungry is also one of the consequences of the issue. Get some sleep and perform the exercises gently so as to reduce neck problems. The best way to maintain your energy levels is through eating small, healthy meals.

I am 16 years old male and I have headache in one side of head till 3 days and I have used saridon to recover this .

Male | 16

You have had a headache on one side of your head for about 3 days. That may be a migraine. Migraines are sharp pains in the head that happen on one side of the head after nausea or sensitivity to light. Saridon might alleviate the pain for a while, however, it is essential to find out about the causes of your migraines.  Notice any symptoms you have and whatever triggers lead up to your headaches. Avoiding heiks like stress, lack of sleep, favorite foods, or loud noises may help you stop migraines. Should headaches continue or deteriorate, a doctor is the right person to consult.
