For many women undergoing a breast implant surgery is a dream come true. Breast implant treatment is ranked at the top of all cosmetic surgeries performed. Based in Dubai, Al Zahra Hospital conducts breast implant treatment using latest technologies to improve the quality of life and overall outcome. The long-term results of your breast implant surgery are affected both by the surgical procedure and the aftercare – just after the operation as well as later on. To minimize the risk of experiencing complications and untoward outcomes, it is very much necessary to follow recovery guidelines advised by your breast surgery expert. At Al Zahra Cancer Center, our board certified surgeons make sure to provide their patients with explicit and comprehensive guidelines for the post-operative period and the longer term. Right After The Surgery – Take It Easy In the initial phase, just after your surgery, you need to modify your daily activities and lifestyle to help facilitate positive, long lasting and desirable results. For instance, you should avoid driving for a few days and especially when you are taking painkiller medications. Returning to school or office where you don’t have to do much manual work can also be resumed after 4-5 days. Certain labor intensive jobs or those requiring repetitive upper extremity and body movements will require additional time off. Other activities that should be avoided for at least a month include heavy lifting, workout, sports, training, and running. Exercises and rigorous workouts should be avoided for around 8-10 weeks. Support Your Implants For women who might have undergone breast augmentation to enhance the size of their breasts, the importance of a good, supportive bra might seem to be relatively new. After your surgery, you will be required to wear a compression garment for two to three days. It will enhance the healing process and reduce swelling. Thereafter, you will be required to wear a supportive sports bra for at least one week. Once your breasts have healed, you can turn to the regular non-surgical bras. However, do choose bras that give you adequate support. No matter how small or big the implantation is, it will add weight to your chest and this extra weight can result in premature sagging and aging if you don’t take proper care. Look for quality supportive bras that offer comfort and keep your breasts looking enhanced for years to come. Go For Routine Breast Compression After surgery, it is advised to undergo breast implant “compression” so that the breasts keep looking natural and soft. This also prevents the development of excess of scar tissue around the implant. Typically, this procedure begins several days to one week after surgery. Dr. Sadir Alrawi and Dr. Humaa Darr – surgical oncology experts at Female Surgeon UAE which is a part of Al Zahra Hospital in Dubai – combine their knowledge, expertise and technology while conducting breast implant treatments. If you’re considering breast implantation treatment in Dubai, Al Zahra Hospital is the best suitable place for you.

Check out the Surgical Options for Treating Anal Fissures The pain of anal fissures can be so intense that it reduces the activity level of the sufferer on a daily basis. In the most severe cases, it can cause discomfort for several hours after using the bathroom, and greatly reduce the quality of life. Fortunately, most anal fissures heal on their own after a month or so. If the discomfort lasts longer than six weeks, medical intervention may be necessary to enhance the healing procedure. There are available different types of anal fissure treatments that can help to heal and make the person alight in no time. Undoubtedly, anal fissures are incredibly uncomfortable, so it is no wonder sufferers look for ways to relive from the discomfort and pain. Although, little patience is required to allow the tear to heal on its own the time span is 4-6 weeks. Consume the diet rich in fiber or take laxatives as recommended by your doctor. About Anal Fissure Surgery The opening and closing of an anus are controlled by your internal and external anal sphincter muscles. You can keep control over the external anal sphincter yourself, but not on your internal anal sphincter. If your internal anal sphincter goes into spasm (tenses), this reduces the blood supply to your fissure and stops the healing process. If the oral treatments relax your sphincter muscle, allowing the fissure to heal, then no surgery is required. If these treatments don’t work, you might need to undergo surgery to relax your sphincter muscle or to remove the damaged skin. Types of Anal Fissure Surgery The anal fissure can be treated with several different types of surgery. The surgeon will decide which one will be best suitable for you. Lateral Internal Sphincterotomy – This is the most common of all the procedures to treat anal fissure. In this surgical procedure, the surgeon makes a small cut in your internal anal sphincter muscle to relax it. Anal fissures heal in 95 in every 100 people who have this procedure. However, it is highly recommended that women of child bearing age or people with chronic diarrhea should not undergo this surgical procedure. Fissurectomy – Your surgeon might suggest you to undergo fissurectomy, if they think you’re likely to develop incontinence after a sphincterotomy. This may be due to several reasons. Diabetes and irritable bowel movements are also one of the leading reasons. During a fissurectomy, your surgeon will remove all of the damaged skin around your anal fissure. They will then leave your fissure to heal on its own. Advancement Flaps – In case of advancement flap surgery, the surgeon replaces the broken skin in your fissure with a section of healthy skin in your anal lining. This procedure can be conducted at the time as a sphincterotomy or afterwards if your fissure doesn’t heal. Recovering From Anal Fissure Surgery After the surgery has been done, you may find that your fissure is less painful than what it was before your operation. If you need pain relief, take painkillers but first check with your doctor. You shouldn’t take painkillers as they might lead to constipation. The surgeon will surely prescribe you laxatives after the surgery so as to prevent constipation. They might also suggest you take fibre supplements. Drink plenty of fluids and have a diet rich in fibre thereby ultimately stopping the anal fissure from coming back. The recovery time varies from person to person, so it’s important to follow your surgeon’s advice. If you are suffering from anal fissure, then book an appointment with a renowned doctor for anal fissure treatment in Dubai. Board-certified and highly experienced surgical professionals at Al Zahra Hospital will help you get your anal fissure problem resolved through surgical interventional.

Breast diseases are extremely common in women in the Middle East and worldwide. The female breast is a complex gland which is made up of several types of tissue. The breasts are made up of fibrous connective tissue, fatty tissue, nerves, blood vessels and lymph nodes. Naturally, the breast tissue has a bumpy texture due to which the breasts feel lumpy. Detection of a breast lump always raises a concern of cancer. For second opinion, quality treatment and improved overall health outcomes, most people travel to Dubai and rely on the highly skilled team of doctors of Al Zahra Cancer Center who provide the suitable breast lump treatment. For breast cancer patients, our healthcare specialists provide cancer care services to help the patient cope with cancer. How Common are Breast Lumps? Breast lump, also known as breast masses, is followed by pain and is one of the most common problems amongst women across the globe. About 3 in every 100 women visit their doctor regarding a problem in their breasts. Most breast lumps, about 9 out of 10, are benign (non-cancerous). Depending upon the types, they can vary in the appearance of texture. Most breast lumps are caused by hormonal changes that occur at different times in a woman’s life, such as during the menstrual cycle. If you feel a lump in your breast, try not to panic or worry. Instead of getting scared, get in touch with board-certified practitioners. Located in Dubai, Al Zahara Hospital is the largest private general hospital that offers breast mass treatment in Dubai as per the international standards. Our hospital has the latest technology and provides advance patient-centered care to all the patients. Diagnosing A Breast Lump It is very much important to be aware about how your breasts usually look and feel, so that you can quickly pick up any changes that might occur. See your doctor if you notice a lump in your breast followed by chronic pain or notice breast cancer symptoms. Types of Breast Lumps Below are enlisted the types of breast lumps and their symptoms: Fibroadenosis – Fibroadenosis is a term used to describe a group of benign (non-cancerous) conditions that affect the breast. It is also known as fibrocystic breast disease. It can develop in one or both breasts or can affect just part of one breast. The symptoms include breast pain, breast enlargement, and the lumpiness of the breast particularly just before or during periods. The pain and lumpiness usually disappear after your period. Fibroadenoma – Fibroadenomas are made up of fibrous and glandular tissue and are smooth, well rounded lump that sometimes develops outside the milk ducts. Milk ducts are the tiny tubes in the breast that carry milk. Also known as “breast mouse,” it has a rubber-like texture and moves easily when touched. A fibroadenoma will sometimes disappear, but it can remain and grow larger, particularly during pregnancy. Breast Cyst – Breast cysts are very common and normal and are a fluid like a sac that develops within the breast tissue. Cysts vary in size. Some can be very tiny, while others can grow up to several centimetres in diameter. Single or multiple cysts can occur in one or both breasts. Although there are no reported symptoms, yet some women may experience pain if the cyst size increases during the menstrual cycle. Breast Abscess – Breast abscess is a painful collection of pus that forms under the skin of the breast. It also results in high temperature or above inflammation i.e., redness and swelling. It can also develop in a female even if she is not lactating. Treating a Breast Lump In most of the cases, the non-cancerous breast lump does not require any treatment until and unless the lump is too large or painful. Once the cause is diagnosed, our experienced doctor will advise you about the necessary breast lump treatment. If the doctor during the breast mass treatment happens to suspect cancer, a breast biopsy may be recommended. If cancer is found, treatment usually involves breast surgery and chemotherapy or radiation therapy, depending on the stage of cancer. At Al Zahara Hospital, we apply technological advances to transform cancer treatment. Although pain is rarely a sign of breast cancer, it’s best to see a provider to be assured.
