"How is that possible? It's not said that giving birth to a boy and a girl is the responsibility of the man. I have been giving birth to a girl, it must be that there is something wrong with my body!" The middle-aged man looked anxious...

"How old are you?" "11 years old." The boy's parents rushed to answer. "Come on, go to the examination room inside to take a look."

The young man was a little embarrassed. "It doesn't matter. There are so many situations here. Don't be embarrassed, and don't worry too much."

If the human body is compared to a tall building, then the urinary system is equivalent to the sewer system of a tall building. Any problems that occur in this system organ affect whether the entire high-rise building can operate normally. Therefore, urinary system diseases almost run through a person's life .

In the Department of Urology at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Southern Medical University, Zhao Shanchao was already busy early in the morning. Faced with the various "difficulties" raised by the patient, he kept answering the patients patiently, smiling comfortably, and finally supplemented with a few cordial greetings, both of which were both slow and slow.

"Great expert, good skills and consider patients everywhere, and has a good personality." This is the evaluation of Zhao Shanchao often.

At around 12:30 noon, the outpatient clinic gradually became quiet in the noisy morning. In the spacious and tidy urology clinic, Zhao Shanchao sat down slowly after seeing the last patient, drank a sip of water before telling us his story in detail.

From "no sense" to a doctor who read into a doctorate in one go

Open Zhao Shanchao's WeChat Moments circle, the cover photo was a "family portrait" he took with his family more than 20 years ago in military uniform, sitting upright, with a youthful and tender face.

Zhao Shanchao is from Dalian, Liaoning. He actually had no preference for medicine or military service when he was young. Until before the college entrance examination, his family suggested: "Doctors save lives and help the wounded are a stable job." Then he filled in for medical school. After volunteer form was submitted, the head teacher returned: "Military school is admitted in advance, don't be empty, fill in the extra chance of choosing."

◎ Zhao Shanchao was already busy early in the morning. Faced with the various "difficulties" raised by the patients, he kept patiently answering the patients.

So, after some unintentional instigation, Zhao Shanchao became a medical student at The First Military Medical University of the People's Liberation Army of China (now Southern Medical University ). After leaving his hometown, he carried his bags and came to the south. He studied for a master's degree for seven years and chose the urology direction. "At that time, there were the most patients with urological stones and prostate hyperplasia, and the treatment effect was immediate. Moreover, the minimally invasive technology of laparoscopy had just been used in urology for a while, which gave me a great sense of freshness." he said with a smile. After finishing the master's degree in

, Zhao Shanchao has obtained the opportunity to stay in school and has also successfully passed the doctoral entrance examination; according to the regulations at the time, only one of the two can be chosen. After discussing with his father, he decided to give up the opportunity to stay in school and continue to pursue a doctorate.

The long journey of study cannot be separated from the teacher's earnest teaching. "Professor Zheng Shaobin is my master's supervisor. He has clean and neat surgery, pursues perfection, and is particularly good to patients. Under his encouragement, I gradually understood it from ignorance. Academician Hou Fanfan and Professor Jiang Yong are my doctoral supervisors, laying a solid foundation for my scientific research and academic journey. To this day, I still give me a lot of guidance and guidance." Zhao Shanchao said.

"My father still has a chance to operate? Is there any medicine for treatment? How long can he live?" Yu Li cried and said to Zhao Shanchao.

65-year-old Yu Dalian has always been tough, until his physical condition has taken a sharp turn for the past two months. He is tired and weak, and has become thinner. After an examination in his hometown hospital, he found that prostate-specific antigen elevated (PSA), more than ten times higher than the normal value. Yu Li, a daughter who works in the insurance industry in Guangzhou, quickly brought her father to Guangzhou. When Zhao Shanchao got Yu Dabo’s report, he had shown that he was diagnosed with prostate cancer . ECT bone scans showed that he had multiple bone metastasis throughout the body.

Facing Yu Li, who is similar to her age, Zhao Shanchao can also particularly understand the collapse and helplessness of her parents suffering from cancer when she reaches middle age. He said: "The tumor has metastasized many times and cannot be performed. It is recommended to first undergo endocrine drug treatment and adjust the plan in time according to the condition."

In recent years, Prostate cancer has become one of the fastest-growing male malignant tumors in my country with the fastest incidence rate , and is also one of the common diseases that urologists need to face. "The treatment effect of early prostate cancer is relatively good, but unfortunately, many patients in my country have reached the middle and late stages of . Many of them have undergone distant metastasis, and the treatment effect is not good, which also poses higher challenges to doctors." After entering the field of urology, Zhao Shanchao quickly took prostate cancer as his own diagnosis and treatment and research direction.

In more than ten years, while Zhao Shanchao has diagnosed and treated many patients, he also conducted a series of studies on the onset and progress mechanism of prostate cancer, early diagnosis, precise treatment, prognosis evaluation, and postoperative rehabilitation. For example, its team screened and verified multiple molecules with early diagnosis and prognosis prediction potential of prostate cancer, and optimized the application of existing diagnostic markers to improve diagnostic efficiency; on the other hand, it screened multiple potential therapeutic targets for prostate cancer, and explored the path to accurately develop new drugs based on targets, and at the same time integrated and optimized the current treatment system to provide patients with more reasonable and accurate treatment plans and strategies. The project he chaired by him won the second prize of Guangdong Province's Science and Technology Progress Award for "Innovation and Application of Key Technologies for Early Diagnosis, Systemic Treatment and Prognosis Assessment of Prostate Cancer in Chinese".

In this process, Zhao Shanchao successively won the Guangdong Physician Award, the famous doctor of the country, and was selected as the leading medical talent in Guangdong Province, the outstanding young medical talent in Guangdong Province, etc.

Although he has achieved a lot of results, Zhao Shanchao said that his research on prostate cancer is still a long way to go. "At present, our team is still exploring the mechanism of bone metastasis in prostate cancer and how to delay the time when patients develop 'castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC)' after endocrine treatment."

In addition to prostate cancer research, in recent years, he has also focused a lot of his energy on male reproductive health and sexual dysfunction, popularizing men's knowledge to the public on different occasions, and improving men's health awareness.

On this day, as soon as Wang Feng entered the clinic, he excitedly told Zhao Shanchao that his wife was pregnant.

The first time I met Zhao Shanchao, Wang Feng just turned 35 years old, but he was in his prime but his face was full of decadence because he had been married for 10 years but had not been able to have children. His wife had already had no problems with her examination, but after examination, he found that it was azoospermia, and the treatment effect was not good in many hospitals, so he found Zhao Shanchao.

After a comprehensive understanding of the medical history and systematic examination, Zhao Shanchao considered that Wang Feng was "obstructive azoospermia". After discussing with Wang Feng and his wife, Zhao Shanchao decided to arrange surgical treatment, "built" through the vas deferens epididymis anastomosis under a microscope, which can relieve obstruction and clear the sperm. This is also the most technical operation in microscopic andrology. The inner diameter of a human vas deferens is about 300μm, and the inner diameter of the epididymis tube is about 150μm. The diameter of the suture used is only about 10μm, which is equivalent to 1/8 of the hair. It can be said that the "flower of life" is carved on the "hair".

surgery was very successful, and Wang Feng's family was finally successful.

The microscopic andrology team led by Zhao Shanchao over the past 20 years has allowed many infertile men to realize their dream of giving birth. "Behind every successful case is a child, a couple, and a family." Zhao Shanchao said that he also felt the happiness of being a doctor "treatment of illness and saving lives".

◎ A man is doing a sexual dysfunction scale. In these patients, Zhao Shanchao said that he has seen many men's weakness and helplessness.

treatment of male sexual dysfunction is also part of Zhao Shanchao's daily work. In these patients, Zhao Shanchao said that he saw the weakness and helplessness of many men, "Many patients will eventually turn from 'treating diseases' to 'treating people', and from 'treating the body' to 'treating the heart'."

Precision medical instruments, the cold scalpel has become a little warm because of a kind heart

In addition to medical and scientific research, Zhao Shanchao also There are many teaching tasks that need to be undertaken. In the teaching process, for students with different learning stages and abilities, Zhao Shanchao has his own "unique" teaching focus and guidance direction. Due to the good teaching effect, Zhao Shanchao was named "Outstanding Teacher in Nanyue" in 2021.

"When treating undergraduates, I think the first thing is to teach them how to be a human being, the second is to teach them how to learn methods and let them master the ability to absorb knowledge, and the third is to teach the theory and knowledge in the textbook. "Zhao Shanchao said, "In addition, as a doctor, you must first learn humanistic care and be grateful to patients. Because a lot of the doctor's experience and knowledge are given by patients and are taught by patients, what we give back to patients should be more advanced technology and more thoughtful service. "

" When treating graduate students or advanced doctors, should emphasize the formation of clinical thinking and scientific research thinking, and cultivate the ability to solve problems independently . "Behind this is the teaching experience that Zhao Shanchao has accumulated over the past 20 years.

Zhao Shanchao said that he likes to make friends with patients, and many patients have his WeChat. If any health problems encountered in daily life, he will always be the first to send him a message, "Director Zhao, is this medicine effective? "Is this indicator abnormal? "…Zhao Shanchao will also reply as soon as he rests, "This doesn't take much time, but for patients, this information may be very important. "

Zhao Shanchao said, "I have always felt that Since you have chosen to be a doctor, you must be kind and take the initiative to take responsibility. Treat your patients with care, and the patients will naturally understand and trust you. "

For a long time, Zhao Shanchao naturally had a group of "loyal fans".

At the moment when epidemic prevention and control is normalized, Zhao Shanchao's work seems to be busier. Clinical, scientific research, teaching, management... asked him if he felt tired? He smiled habitually, "Sometimes he also feels a little tired, but when you think about your daily work, it is to promote the medical career and to benefit more patients, you will be full of motivation and move forward bravely. "Under the guidance of the Healthy China Strategy, Zhao Shanchao said that he will lead the team to continue to work hard and explore continuously...
