Brynn The essence of men's preventive health care is personalized health maintenance that covers the entire life cycle and takes into account physiological and psychological conditions. It is neither exclusive to "tonifying kidneys and strengthening yang" in the popular stereotype, nor is it something that only middle-aged and elderly people need to pay attention to.
Last week, I met a 28-year-old Internet practitioner at the outpatient clinic. After half a month of the program, he suffered from backache, hair loss, and frequent urination. He blindly bought several hundred yuan of imported oyster slices and ate them for more than half a month without any effect. When he came for a checkup, he found that he was sitting for a long time, holding his urine, and had a disordered work and rest schedule. It was not a "deficiency" at all. He adjusted his daily routine and added anal levator daily training, and it was relieved in less than three weeks. Many people's understanding of men's health care is ridiculous. They either think it's an IQ tax or rely on unspeakable secrets. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is the same as maintaining a private car. Don't wait until the red light comes on or breaks down before you think about repairs. The cost of daily small maintenance is low and you will suffer less.
Young men in their early twenties should not always rely on their youth, drink cold beer all night, drink carbonated drinks when they are thirsty. The age of onset of gout and urinary tract stones is now almost 8 years earlier than ten years ago. I also treated a 22-year-old fresh graduate last month. After the defense, I had a heavy drink with my classmates. The next day, my feet were so swollen that I couldn't even put on shoes. When I came here, I was wondering if gout was not an "old man's disease". Speaking of which, we have to mention the topic of food supplements that everyone is arguing about. One school of thought believes that eating more tomatoes, pumpkin seeds, deep-sea fish and other foods on a daily basis can provide an extra layer of protection for the prostate and cardiovascular system. There are also clinical studies that believe that as long as the daily diet is balanced, the benefits of eating a few hundred yuan of special health supplements are not much different from ordinary diets. I really can’t pay this IQ tax.
When you are in your 30s or 40s, don’t just rely on espresso and energy drinks to cope with headaches and chest tightness. Many men are too embarrassed to check for reproductive and prostate-related items. They only do basic blood tests and B-ultrasounds for physical examinations in the workplace. In fact, spending dozens of dollars more each year for prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening can increase the early diagnosis rate of prostate cancer by more than 60%. If detected early, it will hardly affect normal life span.
Not only on the physical level, but also on the maintenance of mental state is a blind spot that many men tend to ignore. As the old saying goes, "Men don't shed tears easily." Many people get depressed when they are stressed, or rely on smoking and drinking to relieve stress. In the past two years, the detection rate of anxiety and depression among middle-aged men in clinics has increased by almost 30%. Many people wait until they have been suffering from insomnia all night and their blood pressure fluctuates before coming to see a doctor. In fact, taking half an hour to run every day or fishing and playing with friends on weekends is much more effective than smoking at home to relieve stress. To put it bluntly, there is nothing mysterious about men’s health care. Just don’t force yourself on it, don’t make up for it blindly, and if you feel uncomfortable, go to a doctor from a regular hospital in time. It’s more reliable than any folk remedies.
