69 -year -old Meryem Oya Alp, who wanted to find healing by applying to Medipol Health Group due to knee and hip pains, encountered an unexpected diagnosis. Fibromyalgia and meniscus tear in addition to problems as well as groin pain Alp, Medipol Acıbadem Regional Hospital Physical Therapy Specialist Dr. Lecturer. As a result of the MR that Gökhan Özkoçak, a member of the member, a great intestine polyp learned that. The source of hip pain in fact indicates a serious digestive system problem that determines the experts, completed detailed investigations without wasting time. Gastroenterology Specialist Dr. With the colonoscopy and endoscopic intervention after Yılmaz Bilgiç, the polyp on the threshold of cancer was successfully removed. Thus, the hip pain, which seemed simple, actually turned into a life -saving early diagnosis opportunity.
“If the polyp turned into cancer, I would have dealt with completely different problems”
69 -year -old Meryem Oya Alp, who stated that he recovered in a very short time after the surgery, said, ım I have some problems because of my age. In fact, there was fibromyalgia, and I was receiving medication for it. I had a problem on my knee seven years ago, but I also had a meniscus tear. But I always rejected the surgery; I thought I needed a little more time. But about 6-7 months ago, when the problem emerged in the other knee, I applied to Gökhan Hoca this time. My complaints in my knee seemed to be diminishing, but my fibromyalgia attacks impressed me more, especially at that time. Nevertheless, my knee recovered with the exercises I did with needles, physical therapy and physiotherapist. In the meantime, I had a hip pain that lasted for two months; I was constantly forwarding this to the doctor. The doctor asked for a MRI. In this MRI, a large polyp was seen in my intestines. They suggested colonoscopy. Thereupon, Gökhan Bey directed me to Yılmaz Bey. We met with him, colonoscopy was done. A week or two later, it was revealed that the lesion may be more appropriate not only by colonoscopic, but by surgery. I had surgery under general anesthesia. I recovered in a very short time. My results were very good. If this polyp had turned into cancer, I would have been dealing with completely different problems. Thank goodness I survived thanks to Gökhan Bey, I pray to him all the time. I like the approach to patients; He’s interested until he reaches the result. I recommend it to everyone. ” He said.
“As physicians, we follow a path towards those rare for simple, common causes while thinking about the causes of pain”
If the patient does not respond to the treatments with sufficient and ideal time, to other organs or systems pain Expressing that they look at the source of Medipol Acıbadem Regional Hospital Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Specialist. Gökhan Özkoçak said, “Many patients apply to us with the complaint of pain. This patient came due to hip and knee pain. We reduced the pain by applying injection and physical therapy methods about knee pain and increased the functional condition of the patient. However, despite the treatment of hip pain, we could not provide sufficient reduction in pain. As physicians, we follow a path from simple to difficult when thinking about the causes of pain. If a person has hip pain, we first evaluate soft tissue problems such as calcification (arthrosis), arthritis (inflammatory condition), impingement (squeezing syndrome), muscle and tendon or trauma -related fractures. If the patient cannot get a response despite these treatments, we will see if another organ or system could have an effect. ” he said.
“It should not be forgotten that rare causes can be lied under the pain under the pain”
Emphasizing that screening and follow -up for intestinal health should be done regularly. Özkoçak said, “In this patient, despite physical therapy and medicines, I thought of the possibility of illness except joint and muscle problems. The patient talked about nausea symptoms in the last examination of the patient. For this reason, when I wanted to shoot MRI, I demanded that the sections of the abdomen (abdomen) region be taken. For this reason, I demanded that the abdominal sections be taken while I wanted MR shooting. Radiology Physician Dr. We planned a special shooting sequence by talking to Hayri son. As a result, we found that the patient’s hip pain is linked to a lesion close to transforming into cancer in the large intestine. With the results of the image, our patient is from the field of gastroenterology. Dr. I directed to Yılmaz Bilgiç. Of course, every hip pain will be the meaning of a cancer tissue behind. It should not be forgotten that rare causes of rare causes that come to mind under the pain. As we have seen in this example, scans about the large intestine and periodic follow -up at a certain ages are very important. We should pay attention to these disease assessments both individually and socially. It is a very effective factor in the diagnosis of the cases with multidisciplinary communication of us. In the future, I would like to state that everyone should have the scanning and follow -up for intestinal health regularly in line with experts’ recommendations. ” He said.
“It was very close to cancer”
After the surgery, the patient was saved from cancer at the last minute expressing Medipol Acıbadem Regional Hospital Department of Gastroenterology. Dr. Yılmaz Bilgiç said, “Our patient was directed to us by our physical therapy specialist Gökhan Bey. Gökhan had applied to Bey with a complaint of hip pain. In the MRI, a lesion was seen in the column segment that corresponds to the hip area. In fact, the patient had no bowel complaints; This lesion was detected as a result of the MRI, which was completely due to hip pain, was directed to us. For this reason, we planned to do colonoscopy. During colonoscopy, we found a large polyp of 4-4.5 centimeters that almost completely covers the lumen of the Sigmoid column. We suggested directly to remove polypies without taking biopsy. We did not do special endoscopic techniques in the same session; Five days after the patient’s column cleaning was re -provided, we performed in the operating room. As a result of the pathology of the lesion, high -grade dysplasia was detected; It was very close to cancer. Fortunately, the surgical boundaries came clean and the patient regained his health without the need for additional surgery. This patient was a 69 -year -old lady. ” He said.
“After the age of 45, each individual should participate in screening programs”
World Health Organization from the age of 45 on the age of 45, each individual proposed to participate in screening programs about colon cancer. Dr. Bilgiç said, “The World Health Organization (DSÖ) suggested that the screening programs related to colon cancer be started after the age of 50; However, in the last 2-3 years, this age was withdrawn to 45 thanks to the research of a working group. Therefore, from the age of 45, I strongly recommend that you participate in scanning programs with colonoscopy, even if you do not have any risk factor or complaint (men or women). If this patient had previously been included in the colonoscopic scanning program, he could have continued his life easily without having to deal with such a big polyp. ” he said.
