<span data-preserver-spaces="true">Have you ever heard of the HbA1c test and HbA1c normal range? Have you recently checked your blood sugar? Apart from the usual blood sugar test, you can go for the HbA1c test and get an average value of sugar in your blood for the last two to three months. If you already have diabetes, the HbA1c normal range would be 6.5% or below. However, if you are in the prediabetic phase, HbA1c normal value for you will be 6% or under that [1]. Thus, an HbA1c test or hemoglobin A1c test helps to diagnose diabetes or prediabetes and effectively manage them. To know how to maintain HbA1c normal range, read on.</span>
<h2><span data-preserver-spaces="true">What is HbA1c?</span></h2>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">Glycated haemoglobin or HbA1C reflects the average of your blood sugar levels for the last two-three months. WHO has recommended it be used to manage diabetes mellitus [2]. HbA1c gets formed when blood sugar binds to hemoglobin.</span>

<h2><span data-preserver-spaces="true">How high blood sugar creates HbA1c</span></h2>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">Red blood cells produce HbA1c with the help of glucose. So, an increased blood sugar level results in a high amount of HbA1c by a red blood cell [3]. Remember, the lifespan of red blood cells varies among individuals, but approximately it is 117 days for men and 106 days for women. So, HbA1c acts as an index of average blood glucose levels covering all or the maximum lifespan of the red blood cells of your body. Normal adult hemoglobin has a high amount of HbA1, which consists of 5% HbA1c [4]. So, if your red blood cells live beyond three months and are smaller in size and volume (as measured in the unit of Mean Corpuscular Volume or MCV), it will boost your HbA1c to an excessively high level.</span>
<h2><span data-preserver-spaces="true">How the HbA1c blood test is performed</span></h2>
<h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Procedure</span></h3>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">The sample collection procedure is similar to other blood tests, where blood will be taken from your arm or by pricking your finger. However, it is, in fact, more convenient than a blood sugar test as you don’t have separately prepare for the test by fasting for hours.</span>

<h2><span data-preserver-spaces="true">What causes normal HbA1c levels to vary?</span></h2>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">Different factors cause HbA1c normal range to vary. Here’s a look at them.</span>
<h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Age</span></h3>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">Note that HbA1c levels increase as you age, even if you don’t have diabetes [6]. For example, people who have crossed 70 years usually have 0.5% higher HbA1c compared to the ones under 30.</span>
<h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Change in season</span></h3>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">It has been observed that HbA1c levels can be higher during winter than in summer months [7].</span>
<h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Gender</span></h3>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">Studies show that women have a higher risk of getting HbA1c-defined diabetes than men [8].</span>
<h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Blood donation</span></h3>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">Remember, donating your blood boosts the HbA1c level, so HbA1c normal range will change for people with diabetes after donating blood [9]. This phase will last for some time.</span>
<h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Difference in ethnicity</span></h3>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">As per reports, people with South Asian and African-Caribbean ancestries may have a 0.27-0.4% higher HbA1c level than the ones with a European origin [10, 11].</span>
<h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Pregnancy</span></h3>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">It is important to note that HbA1c test normal range may vary slightly for expecting mothers. For example, studies show that HbA1c levels decrease during the second trimester if the pregnant woman is non-diabetic. However, in the same instance, it goes up during the third trimester [12].</span>
<h2><span data-preserver-spaces="true">What to do if you have high levels of hemoglobin A1c?</span></h2>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">If you have a high level of hemoglobin A1c, it is best to speak with your doctor and work on a plan to take it down to a normal HbA1c level. In such cases, doctors may suggest a threefold approach that covers awareness, diet control and exercise. Losing weight will also be a priority if you are obese or overweight. In the case of type 1 diabetes and some instances of type 2 diabetes, drug therapy will be required along with all the things mentioned above.</span>
<h2><span data-preserver-spaces="true">When should hemoglobin A1c levels be tested?</span></h2>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">Top diabetes experts recommend people over 45 years get screened for diabetes every three years. However, in the case of certain risk factors, doctors may advise the same to younger people. Here are the risk factors they consider:</span>
<ul>
 	<li><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Obesity or a sedentary lifestyle</span></li>
 	<li><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Symptoms of insulin resistance, or conditions like hypertension, PCOS, high triglycerides and low HDL (good) cholesterol, which are linked to insulin resistance</span></li>
 	<li><span data-preserver-spaces="true">A close relative with type 1 or type 2 diabetes</span></li>
 	<li><span data-preserver-spaces="true">In the case of diabetes during pregnancy, also known as gestational diabetes</span></li>
</ul>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">Apart from these, it is wise for people with diabetes to screen for HbA1c every six months. Doctors may also recommend checking for diabetes every three months if it is associated with pregnancy, low blood sugar, alteration of insulin doses, or rapidly changing levels of HbA1c.</span>
<h2><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Conclusion</span></h2>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">Now that you have all the necessary information regarding the HbA1c test and HbA1c normal range, it is much easier to manage diabetes or prediabetes with regular check-ups.

<h2><span data-preserver-spaces="true">FAQs</span></h2>
<h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">What are the advantages of HbA1c over other blood sugar tests?</span></h3>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">Here are the benefits of taking the HbA1c test over other blood sugar tests:</span>
<ul>
 	<li><span data-preserver-spaces="true">You don’t need to fast to give blood samples for the HbA1c test; you can give it any time</span></li>
 	<li><span data-preserver-spaces="true">The result of HbA1c is more or less accurate</span></li>
 	<li><span data-preserver-spaces="true">HbA1c offers more stability than glucose in a high temperature of 37°C</span></li>
 	<li><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Stress or any physical activity doesn’t affect the test result</span></li>
 	<li><span data-preserver-spaces="true">While it shows an average blood sugar level for an extended period, short-term hormonal changes don’t affect HbA1c normal range</span></li>
</ul>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">However, do note that the HbA1c test can produce a false result in case of anemia and other health conditions related to hemoglobin and red blood cells, which will not result in an HbA1c normal range. </span>
<h3>What is the difference between a normal blood sugar test and HbA1c?</h3>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">While a glucose test measures the current amount of sugar or glucose in the blood, an HbA1c test determines the average value of blood sugar for the last two-three months.</span>

<span data-preserver-spaces="true">Getting white spots on the skin is quite common when your skin goes through colour loss or dead cells get stuck under the skin’s surface. Usually, they come with no major symptoms or health risks, so there is no need to worry. You can also treat white dots on the skin at home comfortably. However, white patches on the skin may affect your self-esteem and lead to depression and other <a href="https://www.bajajfinservhealth.in//articles/7-important-ways-to-take-care-of-your-mental-health">mental health</a> conditions. Read on to understand the causes and consequences of getting white spots on the skin and how you can treat them.</span>
<h2><span data-preserver-spaces="true">What are white spots?</span></h2>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">White spots are a skin condition that leads to skin discolouration. If you have this condition, your skin will gradually lose its natural colour. In critical cases, this skin disorder may also impact the internal parts of your mouth and hair. The primary reason white spots appear is the insufficient production of melanin. Treatment of white spots on the skin is mostly about restoring the colour of the discoloured portion of the skin. However, that doesn’t prevent loss of colour in other areas of the skin.</span>

<h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Vitiligo</span></h3>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">This is the most common type of white spot which may appear on your face or other parts of your body. This condition is usually caused by dead pigmentation cells.</span>
<h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Milia</span></h3>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">These types of white spots are caused by boils on your skin that are filled with fluids.</span>
<h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Pityriasis alba</span></h3>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">It is a skin condition that usually impacts children aged up to 3 years. It leads to white spots on the face and is accompanied by redness and itchiness. If you can cure this condition, it still leaves a lot of white patches on the skin.</span>
<h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Lichen sclerosis</span></h3>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">This is a skin disorder that can affect people across ages. However, women are at high risk of getting this as a post-menopause disorder. The condition can be visible in different body parts, making your skin reddish and thin. In men, this condition is known to affect the foreskin of the penis. The primary reason for this condition is hormonal imbalances.</span>
<h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Sun spots</span></h3>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">These white patches usually start appearing on your legs and then on your arms and other body parts. You may get these white spots on the skin if you stay in the sun for a long time. Genetics also plays a key role in determining whether you will have this condition or not.</span>

<span data-preserver-spaces="true">Allergy is one of the most prevalent syndromes in human beings. As per an estimate, 10%-30% of people around the world suffer from </span><a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.bajajfinservhealth.in/articles/allergic-rhinitis-causes-symptoms-home-remedies" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span data-preserver-spaces="true">allergic rhinitis</span></a><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> or perennial allergy [1]. Apart from this, there are other types of allergies, such as winter allergies, occupational allergies, food allergies, and more. When it comes to winter allergy symptoms, they are extremely close to that of allergic rhinitis. However, there is a subtle difference between the two in terms of their prevalence. While getting allergic symptoms mostly during the months of winter and spring are referred to as winter allergies, people who suffer from cold and other allergy symptoms all around the year are considered to be suffering from allergic rhinitis.</span>

<span data-preserver-spaces="true">As we are into the months of winter and spring, there is a high possibility of getting cold weather allergy symptoms if you are allergic to cold weather. Read on to learn in detail about seasonal allergies in winter and how you can prevent or treat winter allergies.</span>
<h2><span data-preserver-spaces="true">What are winter allergies?</span></h2>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">The cold weather forces you to spend more time at home during winter; it is also a favourable condition for indoor allergens such as mould, dust mites and other airborne dust particles to flourish. Being allergic to them leads to winter allergy symptoms such as constant sneezing, runny nose, and more. Allergies during winter can continue throughout the season if you don’t take preventive measures such as </span><a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.bajajfinservhealth.in/articles/dust-allergy-home-remedies" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span data-preserver-spaces="true">dust allergies home remedies</span></a><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> or initiate treatment.</span>

<h2><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Common causes of winter allergies</span></h2>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">The cold weather can host a variety of indoor allergens, which can trigger winter allergy symptoms. Here are the most common triggers for winter allergies:</span>
<h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Mould</span></h3>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">This is a type of fungus that grows in cold weather and in damp, humid places. Common areas where you can get mould include bathrooms, sinks, and basements. When spores of mould start floating in the air, inhaling them can lead to winter allergies. Note that the presence of humidifiers, leaky faucets, or pipes makes cold weather allergy symptoms due to mould worse.</span>
<h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Dust mites</span></h3>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">These microscopic creatures prefer a damp and warm environment to reproduce. That’s why they grow in large numbers in warm and unwashed bedclothes and mattresses during winter. Unfortunately, at that time, their presence or their droppings can enter your windpipe through the nose and mouth and cause winter allergy symptoms.</span>
<h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Pet-related allergens</span></h3>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">As pets also spend a high amount of time at home during winter, people with pet allergies may get winter allergy symptoms throughout the season. Though animal fur is not an allergen for most people, it is not the same for the skin flakes of animals. Commonly referred to as pet dander, they are one of the major pet allergy triggers. Other key pet-related allergens include the proteins found in their saliva, faeces,and urine.</span>
<h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Cockroach droppings</span></h3>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">The number of cockroaches inside the home usually increases during winter due to the damp weather outside. As a result, their droppings also get mingled with air and lead to winter allergies.</span>

<h2><span data-preserver-spaces="true">What are the common treatment procedures for winter allergies?</span></h2>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">You can treat seasonal allergies in winter with either home remedies or medical treatments. Here are the choices you have:</span>
<h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Go for over-the-counter (OTC) medications for allergy</span></h3>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">If you have frequent winter allergies, consider taking antihistamines such as fexofenadine or cetirizine regularly to get relief. OTC medications that have cetirizine and another drug named pseudoephedrine can be beneficial for associated symptoms like headaches.</span>
<h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Inhale nasal sprays</span></h3>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">In case of winter allergies, doctors may recommend nasal sprays such as triamcinolone and fluticasone. Both these drugs can reduce runny nose, inflammation, and other winter allergy symptoms. You can also buy them as OTC medications.</span>
<h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Opt for nasal irrigation treatment</span></h3>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">Send clean and distilled saline water through the blocked nostrils to flush out allergens. Use a net pot for the process.</span>
<h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Go for immunotherapy</span></h3>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">Often doctors recommend allergy shots or immunotherapy if you have severe winter allergy symptoms. This is all about getting your body ready to fight the allergens by injecting them in small amounts into your body. It boosts the immunity of your body against them and reduces the intensity of winter allergies you usually get to a low level.</span>

<h2><span data-preserver-spaces="true">How to diagnose whether I have winter allergies?</span></h2>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">If you experience winter allergy symptoms for more than seven days, you must see a doctor. Upon examining you, the doctor may refer you to an allergist who will note your health profile and current symptoms. The allergist then may perform a skin test to have a preliminary idea about whether you are allergic. For example, if your skin turns red and starts itching, it may indicate that you have seasonal allergies. In some cases, doctors may also prescribe a blood test for a more thorough diagnosis.</span>
<h2><span data-preserver-spaces="true">What prevention measures can I take for winter allergies?</span></h2>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">Remember, you cannot prevent an allergy. However, knowing you are allergic can effectively guard you against winter allergies. Here are the steps you can take:</span>
<ul>
 	<li><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Discard wallpapers and shower curtains that have caught mould</span></li>
 	<li><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Instal a dehumidifier so that your home’s humidity doesn’t go beyond 50%, and it can control mould and dust mites</span></li>
 	<li><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Repair any leaks in the bathroom or sinks</span></li>
 	<li><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Cover any openings or cracks with seals</span></li>

 	<li><span data-preserver-spaces="true">When it comes to purchasing ornaments, go for the ones made of plastic or glass. Note that fabric-made ornaments collect extra dust</span></li>
 	<li><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Buy allergy-proof covers for your bedding and mattresses</span></li>

<span data-preserver-spaces="true">Are you looking for a natural solution to your hair loss woes? Homeopathy may be the answer. Note that homeopathy medicine for hair fall treatment is quite popular as an alternative treatment option for hair loss and other health issues [1]. At the same time, hair has multiple important functions, such as protecting our head from external factors, producing sebum, regulating our body temperature, and more. </span>

<span data-preserver-spaces="true">When you are young, losing 50-100 strands of hair a day is okay. However, it becomes a matter of concern if you start losing excessive hair before reaching your golden years. The symptoms include finding a tuft of hair on your pillow after waking up, losing a lot of hair strands while combing or during a bath, and more. These can be alarming signs of premature baldness.</span>

<span data-preserver-spaces="true">However, many people also dawn a bald look as a style statement. But if hair loss is a chronic condition, it can be associated with multiple factors like diets, stress, hormones, hairstyling, and more. While you can manually control diets, hairstyles, and stress to some extent, having homeopathy medicine for hair fall treatment can help with the other factors. </span>

<span data-preserver-spaces="true">In addition, with the best homeopathic medicine for hair regrowth, you can treat symptoms of baldness from the root and enjoy long-lasting results. Read on to learn about the common causes and symptoms of hair fall and how you can utilize homeopathy for hair fall treatment.</span>
<h2><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Usual causes of hair fall</span></h2>
<h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Hereditary factors</span></h3>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">Genetics has a key role in deciding whether you will suffer from premature hair fall. However, with homeopathy medicine for hair fall, you can maintain good hair health despite genetic disadvantages.</span>
<h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Hormonal imbalance</span></h3>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">Hormonal changes are also a major cause of why your hair may start thinning at a young age. Note that there are two phases of hair growth; the first one is anagen (growth phase), and the second is telogen (resting phase). Due to hormonal imbalances, the growth phase becomes shorter, and the resting phase gets stretched. </span>

<span data-preserver-spaces="true">Secretion of the hormone also gets affected by other factors such as stress, emotional turbulence, medical condition, and more. All these can lead to premature hair fall. </span>
<h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Lack of sufficient nutrition</span></h3>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">If your body doesn’t get the nutrients it requires for natural growth, it can lead to hair loss. Remember, protein plays a key role in developing your hair strands. So, if your body doesn’t get the required amount of protein, it will affect the growth of your hair. Other nutrients that play key roles in stimulating hair growth and follicles include vitamins like folic acid (B9), biotin (B7), and multiple minerals.</span>
<h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Hairstyles</span></h3>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">Following a hairstyle that puts extra pressure or creates tension in your hair strands can lead to gradual loss of hair.</span>
<h2><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Can homeopathy offer better treatment for hair loss?</span></h2>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">By taking homeopathy medicine for hair fall treatment, you can treat the symptoms and the problem itself from the root. With homeopathic medicine for hair loss, you can heal internally. The philosophy of homeopathy is about a holistic approach. Homeopathy treatment for hair loss is based on an individual’s personal health attributes rather than a generic approach. </span>

<span data-preserver-spaces="true">So homeopathic medicine for hair growth can be a wise solution for hair loss and other related conditions. Once you start taking homeopathy treatment for hair loss, the problem usually never returns. So, you can conveniently switch to homeopathy medicine for hair fall treatment.</span>

<h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">How long does it take for homeopathy to regrow hair?</span></h3>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">After getting started with the treatment, you may notice a significant improvement in eight to ten weeks. However, it varies among cases and depends on the health traits of an individual.</span>

<span data-preserver-spaces="true">When it comes to cancer treatment, we usually think of </span><a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.bajajfinservhealth.in/articles/vulvar-cancer-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span data-preserver-spaces="true">chemotherapy</span></a><span data-preserver-spaces="true">. But it is important to remember cancer therapy is not limited to any particular procedure; doctors often recommend a combination of multiple procedures, such as surgery with radiation therapy and chemotherapy [1]. If you are about to initiate cancer treatment for yourself or someone close, there are several factors you need to consider. First, it is essential to identify the different levels of cancer treatment.</span>

<span data-preserver-spaces="true">Based on their roles, there are three levels of cancer treatment – primary, adjuvant and palliative. Primary cancer treatment intends to completely remove the cancer cells via burning, freezing or surgery. Once the primary treatment ends, adjuvant treatment destroys any cancer cells that may have been left over. Doctors also may recommend neoadjuvant therapy as an alternative to adjuvant treatment. The only difference between the two is that the latter is done before the primary therapy to make the process more effective. The third step is a palliative treatment which can help heal the side effects of cancer treatment or relieve the primary cancer symptoms.</span>

<span data-preserver-spaces="true">Note that it is natural to feel nervous or overwhelmed before starting treatment. However, doctors will always be there to guide you through the process, so make sure to have a heart-to-heart conversation with them. Read on to learn about the common facts and information regarding cancer treatment, which will guide you through the latest cancer treatment procedures and help you to have a fruitful discussion with your doctor.</span>
<h2><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Expert cancer treatment: What are the different types of cancer treatment?</span></h2>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">If you or a close one has cancer, the best treatment is the only thing you can look for. Based on the cancer's origin and condition, doctors recommend a specific type of treatment or a combination of different types of cancer treatment. Here's a look at the usual ways of cancer treatment doctors may prescribe.</span>

<h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Chemotherapy</span></h3>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">One of the most popular cancer treatment procedures, chemotherapy kills cancer cells with the help of drugs. It either stops or prevents the fast growth of cancer cells. Apart from this, chemotherapy is an effective remedy for the treatment of tumours that are not cancerous.</span>
<h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Interventional oncology</span></h3>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">This type of cancer treatment is recommended when a patient needs minimal invasive therapy. On the one hand, for patients, it is easier to undergo than surgeries. On the other hand, it is also a cost-effective cancer treatment. Usually, interventional oncology has the following disciplines:</span>
<ul>
 	<li><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Interventional pulmonology</span></li>
 	<li><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Interventional radiology</span></li>
 	<li><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Interventional pain management</span></li>
 	<li><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Interventional gastroenterology</span></li>
</ul>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">As part of interventional oncology, doctors may perform the following procedures:</span>
<ul>
 	<li><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Biopsies</span></li>
 	<li><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Portal-vein embolisation</span></li>
 	<li><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Blocking bleeding vessels to control life-threatening bleeding</span></li>
 	<li><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Implantation of stents in the bile duct</span></li>
 	<li><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Artificially directed therapies in liver</span></li>
 	<li><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Other several procedures</span></li>
</ul>
<h3><img class="wp-image-34790 size-large aligncenter" title="6 Cancer Therapies" src="https://wordpresscmsprodstor.blob.core.windows.net/wp-cms/2023/01/4-63ce4f303ada9-928x1024.webp" alt="4-feb- 6 Cancer Therapies" width="640" height="706" /></h3>
<h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Radiation therapy</span></h3>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">Also referred to as radiotherapy, radiation therapy is used to kill or shrink cancer cells. During the therapy, high doses of radiation pass through your body. If oncologists recommend a low dose, radiation can be given via x-rays.</span>
<h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Immunotherapy</span></h3>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">This cancer therapy boosts your immunity to fight diseases and infections strongly. The drug used in immunotherapy is made up of tissues and organs of the lymph system as well as white blood cells.</span>
<h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Precision medicine</span></h3>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">Also referred to as 'personalised medicine', precision medicine is a type of medicine that processes genetic or protein-related information about a person for disease prevention, diagnosis or treatment. For example, doctors use precision medicine in cancer treatment by including specific information about the person's tumour. It helps them diagnose the exact type and condition of cancer and plant treatment accordingly. </span>

<span data-preserver-spaces="true">It can also help doctors decipher the effectiveness of ongoing treatment procedures. Common types of precision medicine used in cancer treatment include tumour marker testing to help identify cancer or HER-2-positive breast cancer cells.</span>
<h3><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Surgery</span></h3>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">In the surgical treatment of cancer, surgeons remove the lumps containing cancer cells from your body. Instruments needed for surgery include scalpels and various sharp tools with which doctors can make cuts in your body during the procedure. The cuts may be through your skin, bones or muscles. As they can be painful, doctors may opt for anaesthesia. Note that there are three types of anaesthesia: local, regional, and general anaesthesia.</span>

<span data-preserver-spaces="true">However, there are various other ways to perform surgery without cuts. For example:</span>
<h3>Lasers</h3>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">In this type of cancer treatment, doctors use lasers that can penetrate through tissue and destroy cancerous tumour cells in small areas. It is used in case of any cervical changes that can turn into cancer. Laser treatment is also common in basal cell carcinoma, oesophageal cancer, vaginal cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, and more.</span>
<h3>Cryosurgery</h3>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">In this cancer therapy, oncologists take the help of argon gas or liquid nitrogen to kill cancer cells by freezing them in extreme cold. It is a helpful cancer treatment for retinoblastoma, precancerous cells in the cervix and skin, and early-stage skin cancer.</span>
<h3>Photodynamic therapy</h3>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">In this type of cancer treatment, you are given drugs sensitive to a particular type of light, and a chemical reaction is induced between them. Photodynamic therapy is mostly used to treat symptoms caused by non-small cell lung cancer, mycosis fungoides, and skin cancer.</span>
<h3>Hyperthermia</h3>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">As opposed to cryosurgery, this cancer treatment procedure uses high temperatures to treat cancer cells in a tiny area of the affected tissue. This cancer therapy destroys or makes cancer cells hypersensitive to certain chemotherapy medications and radiation. Radiofrequency ablation, which processes high-energy radio waves to produce heat, is an example of hyperthermia. </span>

<span data-preserver-spaces="true">As clinical trials are still on, hyperthermia is not widely available as a cancer treatment remedy.</span>

<h3>It can help you fight jaundice</h3>
