Former President Jair Bolsonaro of Brazil has been diagnosed with skin cancer
Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro Hospitalized Due to Health Issues and Lung Infection
Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro was hospitalized again on Tuesday due to nausea, dizziness, and low blood pressure. The 70-year-old leader, who is currently under house arrest, spent a night in the hospital due to his condition.
Last week, Bolsonaro was sentenced to over 27 years in prison for his role in a coup attempt following his election defeat. The coup attempt in question was following Bolsonaro's election defeat to Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. It's important to note that this sentence was handed down last week, not on the days Bolsonaro was hospitalized or discharged.
Bolsonaro has a history of medical issues, including complications from a stabbing during the 2018 election campaign. Recently, he was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma, a type of skin cancer that is neither the mildest nor the most aggressive form, but can have serious consequences. Two skin spots removed from Bolsonaro during a surgery on Sunday tested positive for skin cancer.
Dr. Claudio Birolini, Bolsonaro's treating physician, announced the skin cancer diagnosis. The skin cancer diagnosed in Bolsonaro will now require regular medical monitoring. An examination during his hospital stay revealed lingering traces of a recent lung infection.
Bolsonaro was discharged from the hospital on Wednesday. The current paragraph does not provide information about the regular medical monitoring for the skin cancer or the details of the surgery. It's worth mentioning that Bolsonaro's sentence was for his role in a coup attempt, not for his health issues or the lung infection mentioned earlier.
The coup attempt was a controversial move that sparked widespread protests and international condemnation. Bolsonaro has maintained his innocence throughout the legal proceedings, and his supporters have rallied behind him, calling the sentence politically motivated.
As Bolsonaro continues to face legal and health challenges, the future remains uncertain for the former president. However, his supporters remain hopeful that he will be able to overcome these obstacles and return to the political stage.
