Patient Satisfaction SurveyWe were pleased with the results of this recent survey - but we could do better! Friends of Needham Market PracticeWe are looking for volunteers to join an innovative group at the Practice. Bites and StingsInsects are everywhere! They can bite at any time of the day but bites are more likely to occur in the evening so lots of repellant is needed after sunset. NosebleedsA common problem! The bleeding comes from the central septum of the nose, which divides the two nostrils. Glue earThis is a very common condition usually in children, although some adults have been known to have glue ear. Fungal infections of the skinFungal infections of the skin are the second most common infection. Bed SoresBed sores are red marks which appear at the pressure points such as heels, elbows, buttocks and hips. They are far easier to prevent than cure. |

Weight loss The risks of being overweight are many, ranging from painful feet and knees to coronary heart disease, stroke, diabetes and cancer. The vast majority of people who are overweight would like to weigh less, but we know that instead of the incidence of overweight and obesity decreasing, it is in fact increasing. Healthy eating Healthy Eating is all about getting the balance right. That is, the balance between all the different nutrients that exist in food and drinks. Osteoporosis and diet Bone is a complicated structure consisting of minerals, vitamins and protein. The main mineral is calcium. There is over 1Kg of calcium present in the body, but 99% of this is found in the bones. Healthy heart It is well recognised and accepted that there are many 'risk factors' for heart disease, many of which are lifestyle risk factors. Healthy bowels Today, cancer of the bowel is responsible for thousands of premature deaths a year. The role of diet in maintaining healthy bowels is indisputable and every year, it appears that more and more is understood about the development of disease in the lower end of the gut. |
