Prostate Issues? Crack the Code with our Expert Guide!
As men age, various health concerns may arise, and one common condition that often makes its appearance is Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, more commonly known as BPH. No need to break a sweat; it’s just your prostate playing a little hide and seek as you age. But what does that mean for you?
Understanding the Basics
The prostate, a small but vital gland, tends to enlarge as men age, leading to BPH. This enlargement can exert pressure on the urethra, causing an array of urinary symptoms.
Spotting the Signals
- Urinary Frequency: Urinating more frequently, especially during the night? You’re not alone.
- Urgency: A sudden, compelling need to urinate? That might be BPH.
- Weak Stream: A weakened or slow urinary stream? BPH might be pulling a fast one.
- Incomplete Emptying: A sensation that the bladder hasn’t completely emptied? Classic BPH.
- Straining: Difficulty initiating urination? Hello, BPH!
When Should You Start Taking Prostate Issues Seriously?
While BPH symptoms typically show up later in life, some guys might experience signs as early as their 40s. That’s why having a chat with your doctor about prostate health and potential screening options starting around age 40 is a smart move, especially if BPH runs in your family.
Deciphering the Causes
While the exact cause of BPH remains elusive, age and hormonal changes, particularly an increase in dihydrotestosterone (DHT), seem to be pulling the strings. If you suspect BPH is gatecrashing your party, a quick chat with your doctor is in order.
What’s the End Game?
Left unchecked, BPH can throw a few curveballs, leading to urinary tract infections, bladder stones, and kidney damage. Regular check-ins with your doctor keep you in the driver’s seat.
A Gentle Touch for Prostate Woes: Prostate Artery Embolization
Now, imagine a remedy that doesn’t involve the ominous shadow of major surgery – that’s Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE), stealing the spotlight!
PAE is not a normal surgical procedure; it’s a non-invasive alternative, performed through a tiny incision in either your wrist or groin. This gentle touch turns the whole process into a walk in the park, allowing you to bounce back in no time. Forget the drama of traditional surgeries – PAE is like a secret pact promising relief without the headache.
Now, when it comes to the intimacy department, PAE does not pose risks such as infections, bleeding, or any post-procedure implications. As technology advances, PAE is rising as the MVP in prostate care. Its simplicity and effectiveness in tackling BPH symptoms present it as a saviour for those grappling with the challenges of a prostate that have decided to take up some extra space.
For men experiencing BPH, the first step is consultations with our trusted healthcare specialists to guide on the journey to healthy reproductive well-being.

Euracare Gives Back: USD $50,000 in Discounts for Life-Changing Minimally Invasive Brain Surgeries
In a heartwarming display of corporate social responsibility, Euracare Advanced Diagnostic & Heart Centre has extended a helping hand to three deserving patients, offering them a total of $50,000 in discounts to undergo life-changing surgeries. This generous gesture underscores Euracare’s commitment to making quality healthcare accessible to all, regardless of financial constraints.
At Euracare, we believe that healthcare is a fundamental human right, and we are dedicated to ensuring that no one is denied the medical care they need due to financial limitations. Recognizing the importance of surgery in improving the quality of life for our patients, we are proud to offer these discounts as part of our ongoing efforts to give back to the community.
The recipients of these discounts were carefully selected based on their medical needs and financial circumstances. Each of these patients was struggling with a debilitating condition that required intervention, but the cost of treatment had been a barrier to accessing the care they deserved. Thanks to Euracare’s support, these individuals had the opportunity to undergo the surgeries they desperately needed, without the burden of excessive financial strain. Two of these patients had Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM) of the brain while the 3rd patient had Carotid Cavernous Fistula (CCF). All procedures were successfully done by the Euracare treatment team led by Prof Benjamin Sarkodie. The patients have since been discharged.
This initiative is just one example of Euracare’s dedication to serving our community beyond the walls of our clinic. We believe that by investing in the health and well-being of those around us, we can make a meaningful difference in their lives and contribute to building a healthier, happier society.
Understanding Carotid-Cavernous Fistula: How Interventional Radiology Comes to the Rescue
Think of your blood vessels as rivers and streams in your body. Arteries are like powerful rivers rushing blood away from the heart to nourish your tissues, while veins are like gentle streams bringing blood back to the heart. Now, imagine a new stream branching off from a river, taking a detour where it shouldn’t. That’s what happens with Carotid-Cavernous Fistula (CCF).
What is CCF?
Carotid-Cavernous Fistula is a condition where an abnormal connection forms between an artery in your neck called the carotid artery and a vein in your skull called the cavernous sinus. This creates a direct pathway for blood to flow where it shouldn’t, bypassing the normal routes.
What Causes CCF?
CCF can occur due to various reasons. Sometimes, it’s the result of trauma, like a car accident or head injury, that damages the blood vessels. In other cases, it might develop spontaneously, without any apparent cause. Regardless of the cause, CCF can lead to serious complications if left untreated.
Symptoms of CCF
The symptoms of CCF can vary depending on the severity of the condition and how quickly it develops. Common symptoms may include bulging or pulsating eyes, double vision, vision loss, eye redness, or even hearing a pulsating sound in the ear. Some people may also experience headaches, facial pain, or vision changes.
Implications of CCF
CCF can disrupt the normal flow of blood and pressure in the affected blood vessels, leading to symptoms like those mentioned above. If left untreated, it can cause further complications such as vision loss, stroke, or even brain damage due to increased pressure within the skull.
How Interventional Radiology Helps
Interventional radiology comes to the rescue once again when it comes to treating CCF. Using advanced imaging techniques like angiography, interventional radiologists can precisely locate the abnormal connection between the carotid artery and cavernous sinus.
One common treatment for CCF is embolization. During this procedure, a thin tube called a catheter is guided through the blood vessels to reach the site of the CCF. Special materials, such as coils or liquid embolic agents, are then injected into the abnormal connection to block off the blood flow. This helps restore normal blood flow patterns and relieve pressure on the surrounding tissues.
In some cases, particularly if the CCF is complex or difficult to access, a combination of techniques may be used, including surgical approaches in conjunction with interventional radiology.
Thanks to these minimally invasive procedures, the symptoms of CCF can be alleviated without the need for major surgery. It’s like fixing a plumbing issue in your house without tearing down walls – less mess and quicker recovery!
So, if you find yourself facing the challenges of Carotid-Cavernous Fistula, remember that there’s a team of skilled professionals at Euracare ready to restore order to your body’s rivers and streams, bringing back smooth sailing and clear skies. Book your appointments and make inquiries here.
Understanding Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM) and Its Treatment with Interventional Radiology
Imagine your blood vessels, the roads that carry blood around your body, like little highways. Usually, they’re organized neatly, with arteries carrying fresh, oxygen-rich blood to your body’s tissues and veins taking the used blood back to the heart. But sometimes, something goes wrong, and that may be indication of Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM).
What is AVM?
Arteriovenous Malformation is a condition where there’s a problem with the way these blood vessels are connected. Instead of the normal pattern, arteries and veins are tangled up in a kind of messy knot. This can happen in different parts of the body, like the brain, spine, or other organs.
What Causes AVM?
The exact cause of AVM isn’t always clear. Sometimes, it’s just a fluke of nature, something that happens during a baby’s development in the womb. Other times, it might be due to genetic factors. Regardless of the cause, AVM can have serious implications.
Symptoms of AVM:
AVM can cause a variety of symptoms depending on where it’s located in the body. In the brain, symptoms might include severe headaches, seizures, weakness or numbness in parts of the body, or problems with vision or speech. In other parts of the body, symptoms can vary widely but may include pain, swelling, or even abnormal bleeding.
Implications of AVM:
One of the big concerns with AVM is that it can disrupt normal blood flow and pressure. Because the blood vessels are tangled and abnormal, it can put extra strain on the heart and make it harder for oxygen-rich blood to get where it needs to go. In the brain, this can lead to symptoms like headaches, seizures, or even more severe problems like strokes or brain bleeds.
How Interventional Radiology Helps:
Now, let’s talk about how doctors tackle AVM, particularly with a cool technique called interventional radiology. Interventional radiology uses imaging techniques like X-rays and special tools to treat conditions from inside the body without the need for big incisions.
When it comes to AVM, interventional radiologists use their expertise to navigate through the blood vessels and fix the problem right at its source. One common technique is called embolization. During embolization, a tiny tube called a catheter is guided through the blood vessels to reach the site of the AVM. Then, special materials, like tiny beads or coils, are carefully inserted to block off the abnormal blood vessels. This reroutes blood flow away from the AVM, reducing the risk of bleeding or other complications.
Another technique used in interventional radiology for AVM is called sclerotherapy. In this procedure, a special medication is injected into the abnormal blood vessels, causing them to shrink and eventually close off.
These minimally invasive procedures performed by interventional radiologists offer several benefits. They often result in shorter hospital stays, faster recovery times, and fewer complications compared to traditional surgery. Plus, they leave little to no scarring, which is a bonus!
Thanks to the expertise of interventional radiologists, AVM can be effectively treated, reducing the risk of complications and helping patients regain their quality of life. Euracare specializes in providing advanced medical care, including the diagnosis and treatment of this condition. Our team of experienced interventional radiologists is dedicated to delivering personalized care and innovative treatment options to our patients. If you suspect you may have AVM or are experiencing any related symptoms, we invite you to schedule a consultation with us here.
Gastric Sleeve Surgery
Trouble Losing Weight? Gastric Sleeve Has Got Your Back! Conquer the Hurdles of Weight Loss with Gastric Sleeve
Have you had a hard time managing your weight? Does it affect your self-confidence and well-being? Then, grab a seat and pay attention. This is for you!
You know how sometimes life throws a curveball, and we end up dealing with baggage that we don’t bargain for? Well, obesity is ‘that elephant in the room’.
Obesity is like that annoying family member who refuses to contribute towards a family function but eats to his fill and leaves the largest chunk of expenses afterward. Apart from the obvious change in appearance, having too much extra fat causes discomfort and brings along the risk of serious complications like heart problems, high cholesterol, and diabetes.
Now, the usual advice for shedding those extra pounds is eating right and exercising regularly, which sounds good in theory but is sometimes quite difficult to keep up with. Lately, some people opt for a different approach – a procedure called gastric sleeve surgery. It is like a secret weapon in the battle against extra fat.
How Does Gastric Sleeve Work?
Doctors put you to sleep, and by the time, you snap back to reality, a chunk of the bulging stomach would have transformed into a sleek, banana-shaped tube. This safe procedure is performed by making tiny cuts in your stomach.
Wondering Why Anyone Would Sign Up For This?
Well, it’s for those of us who have tried everything in the weight-loss playbook without much luck. If your body mass index (BMI) is doing the high jump over 40 or hanging out between 35 and 40 with some extra health challenges like snoring (loud enough to wake up the neighbours), high blood pressure, a cranky heart, sleep issues, or type 2 diabetes, doctors might suggest this surgery.
How Does It Work?
By making your stomach play the size game – smaller means less food can squeeze in, making you feel full quicker. Plus, it puts a muzzle on those hunger hormones, so you don’t find yourself raiding the fridge at midnight.
But, of course, there are some ground rules after the surgery. Watch what you eat, take some vitamins, and keep an eye out for trouble like nutrient deficiency or heartburn. And don’t forget the healthy habits – eating right and getting off the couch as often as possible.
Before you dive into this adventure, doctors want to make sure you are ready to face your new normal head-on. You might join a program to get a full grasp of the surgery and what happens next – counselling, tests, and maybe pressing a pause on certain medications or dropping a few pounds before the big day.
What Happens Post-Surgery?
Now, after the storm, it’s a gradual return to normal eating. It is usually advised to start with liquids, before moving on to soft foods, and eventually regular food, but in snack-sized portions.
After a successful procedure, it’s not a free pass to eat carelessly. Keep an eye on your diet, take your vitamins, and schedule regular check-ups to make sure everything is in shape.
The road to becoming healthier and shedding those extra pounds can be a murky road. Just remember, it’s not a magic fix – you’ve still got to put in the work, eat well, and stay active.
Weight loss begins with you. You decide. Let us be your guide!

Euracare is thrilled to share the groundbreaking achievement of its Medical Director, Dr. Benjamin Dabo Sarkodie. The University of Ghana Medical School has conferred the title of Associate Professor of Interventional Radiology upon Dr. Sarkodie, a first in Ghana’s medical history.
Dr. Sarkodie’s journey began with academic excellence, earning his Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery from Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kumasi, Ghana.

At Euracare, Dr. Sarkodie’s visionary leadership has been transformative. As Head of Radiology and later as Medical Director, he has navigated the hospital towards unparalleled growth and excellence in advanced diagnostics and care. His expertise has played a critical role in establishing Euracare as a pioneer of several interventional radiology procedures, notably brain aneurysm coiling. This has solidified its reputation as a hub for cutting-edge minimally invasive interventions in West Africa.
This significant appointment underscores Dr. Sarkodie’s unparalleled expertise and emphasizes Euracare’s commitment to nurturing top-tier medical talent. As Vice President of the Ghana Association of Radiologists, Dr. Sarkodie’s influence promises continued advancements in the field, further elevating both Euracare’s stature and Ghana’s healthcare trajectory.
Congratulations, Prof. Benjamin Sarkodie! Your story is an inspiration, a testament to the power of dedication and vision. With each pioneering procedure, you write a new chapter in Ghana’s healthcare narrative, one filled with hope for a brighter, healthier future – a future where excellence thrives.
Battling Uterine Fibroids: A Guide for Superwomen
Hey there, fabulous ladies!
Have you ever heard of uterine fibroids? They are like those uninvited guests crashing the party in your uterus. But do not worry, we have got the lowdown on these pesky things and a superhero solution!
What Are Uterine Fibroids?
Picture this: noncancerous growths having a party in your uterus. They are called uterine fibroids, and they are like the common cold of the female world. Up to 80% of us might get them before the menopause stage. They come in all shapes and sizes, from tiny peas to grapefruits.
Why Do They Exist?
Nobody is sure why these fibroids decide to show up, but they might have a thing for genetics and hormones. Estrogen and progesterone, the power players in our menstrual cycle, could be behind the scenes, cheering these fibroids on. Luckily, they tend to chill out after menopause.
Spotting the Intruders
Some of us might host these fibroid parties without even knowing it. But when they decide to make a scene, you could experience heavy periods, cramps that feel like a rock concert in your pelvis, and even some unwanted pressure on your bladder or rectum.
The Impact on Your Awesome Life
These fibroids are not just party crashers; they can seriously mess with your mojo. Imagine heavy bleeding leading to anaemia and fatigue, or pelvic pain trying to ruin your workout routine. They might even play a hand in fertility problems and pregnancy hiccups. Rude, right?
Enter the Super Solution: Uterine fibroid embolization (UFE)
Now, here is the game-changer! UFE is like sending in a superhero squad to tackle these fibroids head-on, without the need for major surgery. It is a procedure where tiny particles block the fibroids’ food supply, making them shrink like magic.
Why Choose UFE?
Think of UFE as the VIP treatment for fibroids. It is safer, less painful, and involves way less downtime than traditional surgeries. Plus, it keeps your uterus intact, so future baby plans? Still on the table!
Happy Endings and Shrunken Fibroids
Ladies who have embraced UFE report a serious upgrade in their quality of life. Within a year, those fibroids shrink by half, giving you sweet relief from those never-ending periods and annoying pressure symptoms.
When to Consider UFE
Thinking about inviting UFE to your fibroid party? Chat with your gynaecologist or an interventional radiologist. They will help you figure out if it is the right move based on factors like fibroid size, number, and your future family plans.
So, there you have it, superheroes! UFE might just be the cape you need to kick those fibroids to the curb. Say goodbye to the party crashers and hello to a life without the fibroid drama!
Euracare has got your back, start your fibroid treatment journey, fill out this short form to book an appointment or speak to a healthcare professional.

Revolutionizing Wellness with EMS and Infusion Therapy
Euracare Wellness Center is a wellness facility in Nigeria offering comprehensive services to improve human health.
Whether you’re aiming to build lean muscle, lose fat, or simply boost your energy levels and overall wellness, Euracare Wellness Center offers a comprehensive, cutting-edge solution, combining EMS training and Infusion Therapy, making it a revolutionary hub for fitness and health.
Electro Muscular Stimulation (EMS) Studio at Euracare Wellness Centre
EMS, a full-body training regimen using impulse currents, mimics the natural electrical impulses our central nervous system sends to control our muscles. This technology targets deep muscle layers that conventional training struggles to reach, by applying EMS electrodes directly above the muscle.
A 20-minute EMS session at Euracare equals the benefits of a 4-6 hour conventional workout!
A distinctive feature of the EMS technology is its wireless capability which is paired with the BIA Mobile App, and allows clients to track their results anywhere, anytime
Imagine the satisfaction of experiencing rapid fat loss, improved posture, muscle build, and enhanced strength after each session. With EMS, you can enjoy immediate cellulite reduction and relief from back pain.
Infusion Lounge: A New Era of Wellness
Euracare Wellness Center’s Infusion Lounge offers Intravenous (IV) Therapy, a scientifically proven method of safely delivering medical-grade tonics and medicines to your body efficiently.
From the Beauty Boost IV Cocktail to the Immune Boost IV Cocktail, each formula contains a combination of premium vitamins, nutrients, and extracts designed to treat specific conditions and meet personal wellness goals.
What are IV Cocktails?
IV cocktails are a game-changer, outperforming oral supplements with their 100% bioavailability and immediate effect. They are designed with the highest quality extracts of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and nutrients. Each formula is scientifically crafted to provide optimal benefits, minimally invasive, and yet intensively beneficial to the body, mind, and soul.
One standout ingredient in our IV cocktails is the Vitamin B complex. These serve as cellular building blocks, essential for mood stability and energy levels.
Similarly, vitamins D and C play crucial roles. Vitamin D, primarily produced when our skin is exposed to sunlight, influences everything from mood and anxiety symptoms to the risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
Vitamin C, on the other hand, is a potent antioxidant. It’s essential for healthy bones, teeth, connective tissue, muscles, skin, and capillaries, while also protecting against cell damage from free radicals.
We also have cocktails containing Magnesium, Zinc, Calcium, and Glutathione. These nutrients collectively improve brain function and mood, reduce inflammation, boost immune health, strengthen the nervous system and bones, and fortify the body’s immune system at a cellular level.
The Euracare Advantage
At Euracare Wellness Centre, you gain access to two revolutionary methods designed to supercharge your health and wellness journey. By combining EMS training with IV Therapy, we deliver a comprehensive solution to fitness and wellness.
Euracare’s commitment to using the most accurate and advanced devices ensures your EMS training and IV Therapy are effective and safe.
