Early detection of kidney-related issues not only increases the life of the kidneys but also reduces the risk of falling prey to other diseases. Dr Kaushik Chandra Malik at the event said that they strive to create a nurturing environment that promotes the well-being and happiness of senior citizens through a variety of services, including healthcare assistance and social engagement activities. Their dedicated team of professionals is committed to addressing the needs of senior citizens, ensuring they receive the respect, care, and attention they deserve. As they grow old, health issues could surface. Two organs that are affected in a large number of people are the bladder and the kidneys. Among the common health issues related to the bladder is leakage or urinary incontinence (not being able to hold one’s urine), urinary retention (not being able to completely empty the bladder), and urinary tract infections (UTIs). Kidney diseases do not always show early warning signs. Therefore, an informative workshop is helpful for people to understand the signs of kidney-related diseases. The program provided a platform for experts to speak on the urological issues faced by senior citizens, and offer their guidance and expertise in tackling these health issues.
