Common Tumour Markers in Health Screening: What Do They Really Mean? When you go for a health screening, you may come across a group of blood tests called tumour markers. The results can look worrying at first glance, especially when a number appears “high”. But a tumour marker result is rarely the full story on its own. This guide explains what the most common tumour markers are, which cancers they are linked to, and why your results always need to be read together with your doctor.   What Are Tumour Markers? Tumour markers are substances produced by cancer cells, or by the body in response to cancer. They can be detected in blood, body fluids, or tissues. 1. The Main Types of Tests Blood based markers (serum tumour markers) – the most commonly used Imaging tests (radiology based) Tissue tests (biopsy based) 2. Why They Are Used in Health [...]

Vaccine Myths vs Facts: What You Should Really Know Vaccines are one of the most effective ways to prevent serious diseases. However, many people still have concerns or misunderstandings about vaccines, especially with the amount of information shared online. Here are some common vaccine myths — and the facts you should know.   Myth 1: “I am healthy, I don’t need vaccines” Fact: Even healthy individuals can get infected and develop complications.

For example: Influenza can cause severe illness even in young adults Dengue can lead to bleeding and hospitalisation RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus) can affect previously healthy individuals Vaccination also helps protect people around you, including children, elderly parents, and [...]

Kidney Disease in Malaysia Is Rising: Why Early Detection Matters Kidney disease is becoming an increasingly important health issue in Malaysia, yet many people remain unaware of the risks until the condition has already progressed.   Chronic Kidney Disease in Malaysia Is Increasing Recent national health data shows that chronic kidney disease (CKD) is becoming more common among Malaysians. The prevalence of CKD increased from 9.07% in 2011 to 15.48% in 2018, according to findings from the National Health and Morbidity Survey. This means that nearly 1 in 6 Malaysian adults may be living with some degree of kidney disease, many of whom may not be aware of their condition. National Health and Morbidity Survey Several factors are believed to contribute to this rising trend. Malaysia has seen a growing number of people living with diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, and [...]

From Daughter to Mother to Leader: A Woman’s Health Changes With Age On International Women’s Day, we celebrate women’s strength, resilience, and compassion. Women play many roles in life — daughter, sister, wife, mother, professional, caregiver, leader. They take care of parents. They support their partners. They guide their children. They contribute to the workplace and community. But in clinic, there is one common pattern I see again and again — many women forget to take care of themselves. A woman’s health needs are not the same at every stage of life. As the body changes with age, the health priorities should also change. Understanding this helps women take control of their health earlier, not only when problems appear.   In Your 20s and 30s: Building the Foundation This is usually a busy stage of life. Many women [...]

Obesity Is Not Just About Weight – It’s About Health Risk Every year on World Obesity Day (4 March), we are reminded that obesity is becoming more common around the world — and also in Malaysia. But many people still think obesity is only about appearance or body size. Actually, obesity is not just about weight. It is about health risk. When we talk about obesity, we are talking about excess body fat that increases the risk of many diseases. A person may look “big”, but the real concern is what is happening inside the body.   What Are the Health Risks of Obesity? 1. Excess Body Fat and Disease Risk Obesity increases the risk of: Hypertension Diabetes mellitus and Prediabetes High cholesterol Cardiovascular disease Stroke Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) Osteoarthritis/Degenerative joints/back pain Fatty Liver Gastroesophageal Reflux [...]

Ramadan Fasting: Health Benefits, Body Changes & Practical Tips Ramadan is more than just abstaining from food and drinks. It is a month of discipline, reflection, and resetting our lifestyle. Many people ask: “What happens to the body during Ramadan?” Let’s look at what current research shows — and how to manage common body changes safely.   PART 1: What Are the Health Benefits of Ramadan Fasting? 1. Improvement in Metabolic Health Several review articles have found that Ramadan fasting may improve: Blood sugar regulation Insulin sensitivity Lipid profile (cholesterol and triglycerides) Body weight (in some individuals) Fasting during Ramadan works similarly to time-restricted eating.

Huat Ah! 88888 Health Tips: How to 发财 Without 发福 During This Chinese New Year Chinese New Year is a time of reunion, gratitude, and new beginnings. For Malaysians, it also means open houses, non-stop visiting, reunion dinners, bak kwa, pineapple tarts, steamboat, mahjong, cards, late nights, and movies — all packed into a few short weeks. While these traditions bring joy, many of us notice the same thing every year: after Chinese New Year, our clothes feel tighter, our energy drops, and our health numbers are not as “ong” as we hoped. Why? Because we don’t just "celebrate"—we eat. From one open house to another, our stomachs are usually working overtime. This year, instead of choosing between enjoyment and health, why not have both? Introducing a simple, memorable Chinese New Year health practice: The 5 Points of “88888” [...]

Cervical Cancer: Preventable, Treatable, and Beatable Every January, we observe Cervical Cancer Awareness Month. Represented by the teal and white ribbon, this month is a vital reminder that cervical cancer is one of the most preventable forms of cancer. Through vaccination and regular screening, we have the power to protect ourselves and our loved ones.   The Current Situation in Malaysia According to the latest National Cancer Registry Report (2017–2021), cervical cancer is the sixth most common cancer among women in Malaysia.

Ringgit up, travel plans on? Let’s make sure your health is travel-ready. Travelling allows us to explore new places, cultures, and experiences.

World Diabetes Day, observed on November 14th, is a timely reminder for Malaysians to confront the ongoing silent epidemic of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). Diabetes is now among the leading causes of death in Malaysia, and the increasing prevalence is deeply alarming.   The Scale of the Problem The most recent data from the National Health and Morbidity Survey (NHMS) reveals a concerning reality: 1 in 6 adults in Malaysia has diabetes. Perhaps most worryingly, 2 in 5 adults with diabetes do not even know they have the condition. This lack of awareness is even higher among young adults, with 84% of those aged 18-29 years being undiagnosed. The etiology of T2DM is complex, involving intricate interactions between genetic and environmental factors. Essentially, the disease develops when a diabetogenic lifestyle, characterised by excessive caloric intake, inadequate caloric [...]

International Men's Day is celebrated annually on November 19th. It serves as an important reminder and opportunity to highlight men’s health issues which are often overlooked, under-discussed and under-diagnosed. Men today are facing increasing physical, mental and social health challenges — yet many still do not seek medical help early, delay screening, or tend to normalize unhealthy lifestyle behaviours. This article aims to raise awareness, promote early prevention, and encourage men to take proactive steps towards better health and quality of life.   1) Life Expectancy in Malaysia Recent national statistics show that men in Malaysia continue to have shorter life expectancy compared to women. Male life expectancy is approximately 73.1 years, while female life expectancy is around 77.9 years. This pattern is consistent across major ethnic groups including [...]

Breastfeeding a premature baby is different — and more important than ever. As a neonatologist, I have walked with many parents through their NICU journey, and I know how overwhelming it can feel. My goal is to help you understand why breast milk matters so much for preterm babies, and how you can give your baby the best possible start. Why Breast Milk is Critical for Preemies Breast milk is uniquely designed for your baby — and this is especially true for premature babies. It is more than just nutrition: Immune protection and gut support – strengthens your baby’s defenses. Reduces the risk of necrotising enterocolitis (NEC) – a serious intestinal condition in preemies. Lowers infection and sepsis risk – protecting fragile immune systems. Supports brain and organ development – essential in the early months. Gentle on tiny tummies [...]

Perimenopause is a natural yet often misunderstood phase in a woman’s life. As your body begins the transition to menopause, hormonal fluctuations can cause a variety of physical and emotional symptoms. Many women don’t realise they’re in this stage until these symptoms start affecting daily life. This article explains what perimenopause is, how to recognise its symptoms, and practical ways to manage your health during this significant transition, often with the guidance of an obstetrician and gynaecologist specialist.   What is Perimenopause? Perimenopause, also known as the menopausal transition, is the phase leading up to menopause. During this time, the ovaries gradually produce less oestrogen, causing hormonal changes that affect the body in multiple ways. Unlike menopause — defined as no menstrual periods for 12 consecutive months — [...]

  Reproductive Health: From Period Pain to PCOS Expert Insights from Dr. Ann Teoh Ai Yean, Consultant Obstetrician & Gynaecologist Beyond Babies – Understanding Comprehensive Reproductive Health When people hear 'reproductive health', many think it's just about pregnancy or having babies.
