On July 10th, we saw Dr.Ananthakrishnan Sivaraman from Apollo Hospitals talk about the importance of Sanitation and also how to prevent various diseases involving Kidney, Bladder and Prostate Cancer. The following is a summary of his pointers:

• Dr.Sivaraman advised us saying that it is very important to be physically active. Obesity & Smoking have been related to Kidney/Bladder/Prostate Cancer. So it’s good to be physically active and stop smoking!
• If older men find that they need to visit the restroom very often at night, it’s a sure sign that an immediate prostate check is required!
• He also said that Alcohol consumption in moderation is acceptable but that one should not give into peer pressure, it is only the company that matters.
• Robotic Surgery can be used to  remove tumors on the Kidney nevertheless it is about 40% more expensive BUT is more accurate and recovery time is far less.
• Dr.Ananthakrishnan Sivaraman concluded by saying that Cranberry Juice and Water are the top preventers of urinary tract infection for Women
• Loose clothes, undergarments and frequent Water intake are the Key factors for Men for better sperm count and to prevent urinary infections.
