Professor Xie Liping, Chief Expert of Taikang Medical Urology Center, brings a public lecture and health consultation

Integration of medical insurance and medical care

Promote the construction of urology center

What should I do if my urine drips and I frequently wake up at night? What disease could it be if the waiting time for urine is as long as half a minute? Is a high PSA test result necessarily prostate cancer?On the morning of December 7th, the "Men's Health Life Cycle Management" public welfare lecture hosted by Taikang Xianlin Drum Tower Hospital was held at Taikang Home Suyuan. Xie Liping, Chief Expert of Taikang Medical Urology Center, Honorary Director of Urology Department of Taikang Xianlin Drum Tower Hospital, Professor of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Former President of the International Society of Urology (SIU), and President of the International Prostate Health Alliance (IAPH), has received unanimous praise from residents and patients for his wonderful sharing. The on-site activities are also broadcast live through the TaiLife, TaiMarketing, TaiHome, and TaiKang Medical video accounts, radiating to all customers and employees of TaiKang Group.23% of men have varying degrees of prostatitis, 14% have sexual function problems such as erectile dysfunction, 35% have urinary system infections, reproductive problems, and other male infertility diseases. "During the lecture, Professor Xie Liping pointed out that health risks actually run through the entire life cycle of men." It is important to seek medical attention at the urology department when symptoms appear, but regular physical examinations are also important when there are no symptoms. This helps to detect small signs as early as possible, and then proceed to specialized diagnosis and treatment, "Professor Xie Liping said.

When it comes to male health issues, the first thing that comes to mind is prostate hyperplasia or prostate cancer. Benign prostatic hyperplasia is a common urological disease that causes urinary disorders in middle-aged and elderly men, while prostate cancer is the sixth leading "killer" of male malignant tumors in China. So does benign prostatic hyperplasia mean pre cancerous prostate? During the lecture, Professor Xie Liping gave a negative answer. If we imagine the prostate as an orange, then hyperplasia mainly occurs in the part of the orange petals, while prostate cancer mainly occurs in the part of the orange peel. Therefore, prostate hyperplasia does not develop into prostate cancer, which means that both can coexist but will not transform

After the lecture, the on-site free clinic also attracted a large number of residents and patients to come for consultation. "One third of the prostate was removed in 2008, when it was benign prostatic hyperplasia and urinary retention, and now there is often urine retention..." Grandfather He (a pseudonym), 87 years old, ranked first in the free clinic consultation team. At the same time, he has Parkinson's disease and has always been troubled by urination problems in recent years. This time, Professor Xie Liping was at his home, and he was very excited. Professor Xie Liping patiently explained to Grandpa He that further examination is needed to determine the morphology of the prostate and conduct an overall evaluation based on the current situation. "As your quality of life is greatly affected now, we can consider using a stent for minimally invasive dilation," he said

Professor Xie Liping stated that in addition to drug intervention and traditional surgical treatment for prostate hyperplasia, minimally invasive surgery is also an important and mature method. The new treatment methods can preserve the gland, which is both safe and minimally invasive, such as minimally invasive prostate suspension surgery, prostate stent placement, 103 ° C thermal steam ablation, etc., while preserving the urinary and sexual nerves, solving the patient's problems

Urology is one of the earliest departments established by Taikang Xianlin Drum Tower Hospital. The department has strong technical strength and currently has 2 chief physicians and 4 attending physicians. The average annual outpatient volume is nearly 20000, with more than 2000 hospitalized patients and over 1000 surgical procedures treated annually. The department features minimally invasive treatment, and routinely carries out minimally invasive treatment of renal cancer, ureteral tumor, bladder cancer cancer, prostate cancer, and adrenal tumor under laparoscope; Conduct transurethral resection of bladder tumors; Laparoscopic pyeloureteroplasty; Transvaginal tension-free urethral suspension (TVT-O) for female stress urinary incontinence; Male reproductive system diseases, pediatric urology, and treatment of various complex urinary system infections.

From December 4th to 7th, Professor Xie Liping efficiently promoted the establishment of the Urology Center at Taikang Xianlin Drum Tower Hospital, including holding work meetings, multidisciplinary talks, departmental mentoring, surgical guidance, high-level consultations, hospital wide speeches, and accepting TV interviews. He firmly implemented the "5+N" discipline strategy and brought an international perspective, multi platform resources, and innovative development ideas to Taikang Xianlin.

In October of this year, Taikang Medical released the "5+N" overall discipline development plan, focusing on building five strategic key disciplines: gastroenterology center, urology center, neurology center, health management and geriatrics, and promoting coordinated development. At the same time, each hospital under its umbrella will establish multiple key disciplines based on its own characteristics and development positioning, forming a "5+N" development strategy and continuously focusing on them. As the chief expert of Taikang Medical Urology Center, Professor Xie Liping will also assist the Urology Center with Taikang Xianlin Drum Tower Hospital as the core body, radiating to the other four hospitals under Taikang Medical. In the future, Taikang Medical will leverage its talent advantage of being led by a chief expert and a strong combination of numerous well-known experts to continuously create strategic key disciplines with Taikang characteristics, promote the construction of a longevity medical system, and enable the general public to enjoy a healthier and happier longevity era.
