Post partumui infographic (3)
The pelvic floor muscles support the bladder, bowel, and uterus. During pregnancy and childbirth, these muscles are weakened by hormones, extra weight, and labor. As a result, 50% of women experience urinary incontinence (UI) during pregnancy and 1/3 experience postpartum UI. Maintaining a healthy weight, emptying the bladder regularly, avoiding irritating drinks, and doing Kegel exercises can help strengthen pelvic floor muscles and reduce UI after delivery.

Robotic prostectomy infographic_2017
Robotic-assisted prostate surgery offers a minimally invasive option for prostate cancer treatment using the daVinci surgical system. It uses smaller incisions than open surgery, reducing risks of infection and allowing for faster recovery times. The robotic system provides surgeons with superior vision, precision, and a wider range of motion compared to traditional open or laparoscopic surgery, helping to achieve equivalent or better results. Patients concerned about prostate cancer symptoms or seeking a second opinion can schedule an appointment with a DMG urologist by calling 630-790-1221.
Symptoms of Prostate Cancer
The document discusses symptoms of prostate cancer and screening methods for early detection. Common urinary symptoms include burning or pain during urination, difficulty urinating, and blood in the urine. Other potential symptoms include blood in semen, erectile dysfunction, painful ejaculation, and bone pain. Screening can detect prostate cancer early when treatment is most effective, as symptoms often do not appear until later stages. Screening methods include a digital rectal exam to feel the prostate and a prostate specific antigen blood test to check for elevated levels of proteins. People should talk to their doctor about routine visits and screening.
Risk Factors for Prostate Cancer
Age, race, family history, and weight are key risk factors for prostate cancer. African American men and those with a brother or father diagnosed have a higher risk and should start early screening at age 40, while all men's risk increases with age. Maintaining a healthy weight through diet and exercise can lower risk. Men concerned about their risk factors should schedule an appointment with their doctor to discuss detection options.
Digital Eye Strain
Between cell phones, computers, TV's and tablets, technology is everywhere these days. While technology helps us stay connected, informed and has many undeniable benefits, too much screen time can be harmful to your eyes. Read our infographic for helpful tips on how you can prevent digital eye strain.

We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life.
