🌍 Happy World Osteoporosis Day! 🦴✨

Strong bones are the foundation of a vibrant, active life.

Often called the "silent disease," osteoporosis can weaken your bones over time without any obvious warning signs—until a sudden break or fracture happens. Because bone health matters at every stage of your life, we want to help you take a proactive step to protect yourself and the people you love.

📋 Here’s how you can take charge of your bone health today:

Keep Active: Integrate weight-bearing and strength-training exercises into your weekly routine to help build and maintain bone density.

Focus on Nutrition: Fuel your body with Calcium, Vitamin D, and other essential bone-supporting nutrients.

Assess Your Risk: Ask your doctor about your personal risk factors, especially if you have a family history or are undergoing certain treatments.

Please Note: If you are currently receiving cancer treatment, always consult with your oncology team first, as bone health advice should be strictly individualized.

📉 Ready to know your numbers?
Don't wait for a fracture to find out where you stand. Our Bone Mineral Density (BMD) Scan is a quick, safe, non-invasive way to check your bone strength and assess your risk of osteoporosis.

Let's prioritize prevention and protect our bones together! Reach out to us at Precious Medical Centre to schedule your BMD scan or to find out more. 🩺💬

CANCER SCREENING: MYTHS VS FACTS

Think you only need cancer screening when you have symptoms? Think again!

Let’s clear up three common misconceptions about cancer screening.

Myth 1: “No symptoms means I don’t need screening.”
Fact: Some cancers may not cause noticeable symptoms in their early stages. Recommended screening can help detect certain cancers earlier, even when you feel well.

Myth 2: “One blood test can detect every cancer.”
Fact: No single blood test can screen for all cancers. Different cancers require different screening methods, depending on individual risk and medical history.

Myth 3: “Cancer screening guarantees prevention.”
Fact: Screening does not prevent every cancer or guarantee early detection. However, appropriate screening can help identify certain cancers or precancerous changes before symptoms develop.

Your health, your next step.

The right screening depends on your age, personal and family medical history, and individual risk factors. Speak with your doctor to understand which screenings are suitable for you.

CANCER RISK FACTORS YOU SHOULD KNOW

Quiz time: Which risks can you act on?

Some cancer risk factors can be reduced through lifestyle choices and preventive care, while others are beyond our control.

Risks you can take steps to reduce:

• To***co: Avoid smoking and to***co products.

• Alcohol: Reduce or avoid alcohol.

• Excess weight: Maintain a healthy weight.

• Physical inactivity: Stay active and exercise regularly.

• Selected infections: HPV and hepatitis B vaccination can help prevent infections linked to certain cancers.

Other factors: Age and family history can also influence your cancer risk.

While not all cancers can be prevented, understanding your risk factors can help you make informed decisions about prevention and screening.

Know your risks. Take action where you can. Speak to your doctor.

UNDERSTANDING LIVER CANCER

Liver cancer can develop in the liver itself or, in some cases, spread to the liver from another part of the body. Understanding the risk factors, warning signs and available care can help with earlier medical attention.

What are the symptoms?
Liver cancer may not cause noticeable symptoms in its early stages. Possible signs include:
• Unexplained weight loss or loss of appetite
• Persistent tiredness or weakness
• Abdominal pain or discomfort, particularly in the upper right side
• A feeling of fullness or a lump in the abdomen
• Yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice)
• Nausea or vomiting
• Abdominal swelling

Who may be at higher risk?
Risk factors can include chronic hepatitis B or C infection, liver cirrhosis, excessive alcohol use, fatty liver disease and certain inherited or metabolic conditions.

How is liver cancer detected?
Depending on an individual's risk and medical history, doctors may recommend regular monitoring with blood tests and liver imaging such as ultrasound. If an abnormality is found, further imaging or a biopsy may be considered to confirm the diagnosis.

How is it managed?
Treatment depends on factors such as the type and stage of cancer, liver function and the person's overall health. Options may include surgery, ablation, transarterial treatments, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, radiotherapy or a combination of treatments.

If you have risk factors or notice persistent or unusual symptoms, speak with a doctor for appropriate assessment.

Knowing your risks and seeking medical advice early can make a difference in your cancer care journey.

Know the Changes to Look Out For

Be familiar with how your breasts normally look and feel. Speak to a healthcare professional if you notice any new or unusual changes, such as:

A change in breast size or shape

Changes in the skin, such as dimpling, redness or unusual texture

Changes in the appearance or position of the ni**le

Unusual ni**le discharge

A new or persistent lump in the breast or underarm

Not all breast changes are signs of cancer. Many can be caused by conditions that are not cancerous. However, any new or persistent change should be assessed by a healthcare professional.

When it comes to breast health, it is always better to check and understand what is happening.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month, let’s make breast health a priority.

Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting women, but early detection can make a meaningful difference in treatment and outcomes.

Regular breast screening can help detect changes before symptoms appear. Depending on your age, personal risk and family history, your doctor may recommend mammography or other appropriate screening.

Take time to understand your breast health, know what is normal for you, and speak to your doctor if you notice any unusual changes.

Early detection starts with awareness. Take care of your breast health today. 🎀

SPEAK TO A DOCTOR ABOUT THE RIGHT VACCINES FOR YOU

Vaccination is not only for children. Adults may also benefit from vaccines based on their age, health condition, lifestyle, travel plans and individual risk factors.

For people undergoing or recovering from cancer treatment, vaccination needs may be different. Some vaccines may be recommended, while others may need to be given at a specific time or avoided depending on the treatment and immune system.

If you are unsure which vaccines are appropriate for you, speak with your doctor. A personalised discussion can help you understand your vaccination needs and when vaccination may be most suitable.

We believe informed care begins with understanding what is right for each individual.

Hepatitis A & B Vaccines: Protect Your Liver, Protect Your Life

Your liver plays an essential role in keeping your body healthy. Hepatitis A and Hepatitis B are viral infections that can affect the liver, but vaccination can help reduce your risk of infection.

💉 Hepatitis A vaccination
Hepatitis A is commonly spread through contaminated food or water. Vaccination may be recommended for people travelling to areas where hepatitis A is more common or for those with increased risk of infection.

💉 Hepatitis B vaccination
Hepatitis B can spread through infected blood and other body fluids and may lead to serious liver disease. In Singapore, the National Adult Immunisation Schedule recommends 3 doses for adults who have not been previously vaccinated or who lack evidence of past infection or immunity.

Not sure if you need these vaccines?
Speak with your doctor about your vaccination history, travel plans, occupation and individual risk factors.

Protect your liver. Protect your health. Start by knowing your vaccination status.

Pregnancy is an important time to review your vaccinations. Some vaccines are recommended during pregnancy because they can help protect the mother from certain infections and, in the case of Tdap, help provide protection to the baby against whooping cough after birth.

💉 Vaccines commonly recommended during pregnancy include:

Tdap — helps protect against tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis (whooping cough)
Influenza — helps protect against influenza, which can be more serious during pregnancy

Not every vaccine is suitable during pregnancy. Live vaccines such as MMR and varicella are generally not given during pregnancy, so speak with your doctor about your vaccination history and what is appropriate for you.

Vaccination recommendations can vary based on individual health history and circumstances. Always consult your doctor for personalised medical advice.

💉 Vaccines Aren’t Just for Children

Think vaccines are only important during childhood? Or that healthy adults don’t need vaccinations? It’s worth taking another look.

Vaccination recommendations can vary depending on your age, health conditions, pregnancy status, lifestyle and travel plans. Different vaccines may also have different schedules, so there isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach.

📱 With so much health information circulating on social media, it’s important to remember that online advice may not take your individual health history into account.

Speak with your doctor and review your vaccination records to understand which vaccines may be recommended for you.

Protecting your health is a lifelong journey. ❤️
