Prevention

The reason for prevention is to prevent diseases or to detect them at an early stage, which significantly increases the chances of complete recovery. Everyone should undergo preventive check-ups, even if they have no health problems at all. Many of us undergo regular preventive examinations at general practitioners' offices, which are focused on cardiovascular disease. However, specialized urological and dermatological preventive examinations go beyond the possibilities of ordinary prevention in a general practitioner's office. Our goal is to improve preventive care in urology and dermatology, given the constant increase in oncological diseases in these specialized fields.

​

Urological tumors are among the most common in the male population, especially prostate cancer. Early detection is crucial for further health and quality of life. In most cases, these diseases do not show any symptoms in their early stages, and therefore, it is necessary to perform examinations that can detect them in time. Men should undergo preventive prostate examinations from the age of 45. In the case of a family history of early prostate or breast tumors, they should undergo examinations already around the age of 40. In younger men, there is a higher risk of testicular cancer.

​

Skin tumors are one of the most common in the population. Melanoma is one of the most aggressive skin tumors. It can manifest as a small spot on the skin that may look very inconspicuous to a layman. The risk of moles and various spots on the skin should be assessed by an experienced dermatologist using a dermatoscope. A significant step forward is digital dermatoscopes, which digitize enlarged images of moles. The doctor can assess the structure of the mole very accurately and indicate its removal in time.
