Acibadem Sistina Hospital with a Workshop at FFM: Men Need to Care About Their Health Constantly
A team of doctors from Acibadem Sistina Hospital held a workshop at the Football Federation of Macedonia (FFM), which was the first of a series of workshops to be held in domestic institutions and companies this November. In the month dedicated to male health, the risks of possible diseases affecting mainly the male population are planned to be highlighted through debates, discussions on dilemmas and presentations of facts.
This activity is a continuation of the “Fight Back” campaign, initiated in October, when specialists from Acibadem Sistina Hospital held workshops dedicated to women’s health in the breast cancer awareness month.
The workshop at FFM was attended by young members of the Football Federation Academy, employees of the Federation and active young football players. Throughout the debate, the team of doctors from Acibadem Sistina Hospital talked about the need for preventive examinations and self-examinations that every man should do throughout the year. The workshop was attended by Dr. Andrej Petrov, dermatologist, Dr. Zharko Hristovski, cardiologist, and Dr. Daniel Petrovski, urologist.
What are the potential cardiac problems that can occur in men, how important it is to go to examinations, and how to do self-examination of testicles in order to prevent testicular cancer, a disease that affects young populations as well, were only a few of the discussed topics. At a time when there is a growing number of prostate cancer patients, the workshop discussed the risks of this disease as well as the skin changes in the body that could be a sign of serious disease.
As a socially responsible company, Acibadem Sistina Hospital thus contributes to raising public awareness of the serious diseases that occur in men of high-risk age groups.
November is the month in which men grow whiskers in order to emphasize the importance of health awareness. However, these workshops emphasize that men should take care of themselves not only during this month, but constantly.
Acibadem Sistina Hospital will continue such workshops throughout the month.
