Kochi, also referred to as 'The Queen of the Arabian Sea', is the commercial centre of the state of Kerala. Kochi is a perfect blend of society, economic activities, and modernity. With an increasing focus on the elderly population and the retired professionals and NRIs who repatriate to Kochi from different countries, there is an alarming increase in the number of men over fifty suffering from prostate cancer.
The first stages of prostate cancer are mostly symptomless. If they even exist, people tend to dismiss the frequent urge to urinate, the pain in the lower abdomen, and weak urine flow. This, in turn, has a grave consequence of a delayed diagnosis. However, an early diagnosis along with prompt treatment improves the recovery and the chances of a successful outcome. Although healthcare facilities in Kochi are on the rise, patients with prostate cancer seek the latest technology to attend to their condition.
KIMS Hospitals in Hyderabad, however, is a centre of excellence for advanced prostate cancer care. It is recognised for its innovative work in both oncology and urology and provides advanced care, including the new TULSA-PRO treatment, which is a Burnsh Surgery of prostate with advanced urological focus, MRI guided treatment, which is TULSA-PRO's Transurethral Ultrasound Ablation. This is a treatment for prostate cancer and is a major breakthrough in the world as it is incisionless, non-invasive, non-cutting, and MRI-guided.
Telehealth services have been extended for the application of complex medical diagnostics and treatment to the island of Kochi and the adjacent territories of Aluva, Thrissur, Kottayam, and the district of Ernakulam. Employment forms of patients' participation in medicine of the past are transformed. Patients are able to discuss their health problems, inquire about the tests and therapies they have undertaken, and even obtain a professional recommendation without leaving their homes.
