Giving Helping Hand in Case of Emergency

MANSAROVER GARDEN, India - Sept. 4, 2017 - PRLog -- At the age of around 8 or 10, we have the creativity to do anything. But that is limited as most of the times we are told to channelize that energy into something useful such as studies. We are asked this because we are small and told to do all these things when we grow up and become independent. This stage of not doing things is not only when we are small but also when we become old enough to be called as a senior. It seems like our life comes full circle. There is a sense of dependability in us when we are small. Before doing any work, we have to take permission from our parents. That is a rule for every one of us. We are small hence considered to be lacking in knowledge to take any vital decisions of our life. Same can also be said when we enter old age. That sense of dependability is there when we become a senior citizen. That sense of need is there and that is the worst part of growing old. You want to do all the things by yourself and even have the permission but the frail health does not allow anything.

Just like any other stage of life, old age is also unavoidable. More than the good times, there are parts of irritation, tiredness, anger and occasional bouts of needlessness. The problems that we face comes in every vertical of life be it financial, emotional or medical. All of these are inevitable. Emotional problems arise when your loved ones don't take full care of you or they don't treat you properly. But the most dangerous of them all is medical problem. Health is one area that gets hit the most in old age. Right from a small headache to a sprain, nothing can be taken lightly. The immunity of our body decreases and even a small injury can multiply and become a big one.

We begin to lose our teeth and our skin becomes flappy and cause wrinkles which make it unattractive. Problems like hair loss and hair thinning are there. Our nails start to lose their shine and become thick. But all of the above mentioned problems pale in comparison when it comes to diseases and conditions that are suffered in old age. We are susceptible to these diseases even more.

There are various diseases of different parts of our body that troubles us. But one of the most potent diseases that can hit us is Cancer. There isn't a particular definition of cancer in any book but if it is to be defined in one sentence then it can be called as the disease in which there is an ungovernable division of cells which is abnormal and it results in destruction of body tissue. Cancer can be caused to anyone and there are no specific causes for that. The treatment of cancer is in the form of surgery known as surgical oncology.
