In Episode 16 of the Attention India Podcast, leading doctor Dr. Deepak Dhankhar contributes to a stimulating conversation about kidney health, health promotion and preventive medicine, sex education and the subtle health hazards so many people don't care to address.
The episode, which is informative about many early signs of kidney disease, includes foam in your urine, proteinuria and other symptoms that may reveal serious underlying health problems. Dr. Dhankhar talks about why these signs should never be ignored and the importance of early detection to avoid serious complications later in life.
It covers significant medical issues, such as nephrotic syndrome, eGFR levels, kidney function and potential injuries caused by the abuse of steroids. Dr. Dhankhar cuts through technical jargon in order to clarify to listeners what lifestyle choices can have a direct impact on long-term health.
But it’s one of the most jarring passages of the episode about the complete lack of sex education in schools and how that impacts men physically and psychologically. Dr. Dhankhar explains how misinformation, social stigmas and lack of knowledge can have sexual health implications in the future.
It also speaks to the necessary health with habits, with body breathing, with yoga, with discipline and with lifestyle management beyond disease prevention. Preventive health care can deliver better results than treatment after an illness occurs, Dr. Dhankhar says.
Students, parents, health-care staff and others who are engaged in research on basic anatomy and health may find this episode helpful.
