HEALTH AS A GIFT FOR WOMEN'S DAY
9 March 2020
NZOZ Twój Lekarz has begun a series of presentations dedicated to women's health! Several dozen people gathered at weekend meetings in Cieszyce and Pustków Wilczkowskie. Women who care about the health of their loved ones on a daily basis often do not find time to take care of their own bodies, go for preventive examinations, have cytology, breast ultrasound and mammography. Anna Zygarlicka from NZOZ Twój Lekarz encouraged the participants of the meetings to have preventive examinations and a healthy lifestyle.
In addition to a large dose of knowledge, there were also "practical classes". Women who participated in the presentations had the opportunity to check their blood pressure and blood sugar levels. There was also an opportunity to learn how to self-examine their breasts on a special medical dummy. The classes were led by NZOZ Twój Lekarz midwife Izabela Ksyta-Moćko. Cancer prevention is of particular importance. As indicated by the latest report of the National Institute of Public Health, almost half of Polish women have never had any diagnostic tests that could exclude the risk of cancer, allow for diagnosis at an early stage, when there is a good chance of complete recovery.
A separate thematic block during the presentation was the promotion of a healthy lifestyle, including physical activity and a balanced diet. The next meeting in the HEALTHY WOMAN series is scheduled for March 15 in Krzyżowice.
The conversation touches on a key aspect of family medicine: the physician's role in health education and collaborative planning of next steps. The program doesn't end with diagnosis. Its goal is to create an individualized health plan and provide real support to the patient in changing their lifestyle.
The discussion focuses on the practical aspects of participating in the program – from the first step, choosing a primary care facility, through completing the questionnaire, to interpreting test results and the role of the family doctor. Particular emphasis is placed on the importance of cardiovascular disease prevention and the role of lifestyle in reducing health risks.
