Rock The essence of men's preventive health care knowledge is to cover three parts: physical health monitoring, bad behavior intervention, and psychological state adjustment covering all age groups. It is not just the narrow content of "kidney replenishing" and "sexual function maintenance" as popular stereotypes say. To put it bluntly, it is like doing daily maintenance for a car that is used for field work all year round. Don't wait until it breaks down halfway before you think of going to the factory for overhaul.
Last week, I met a 22-year-old junior student at the urology clinic. He stayed in the dormitory for half a month to get a job. He sat for more than ten hours every day, drank ice Coke when he was thirsty, and drank energy drinks when he was sleepy. Finally, the pain in his left scrotum made him unable to walk. He was found to have moderate varicocele, which may affect the quality of his sperm in two months. When the young man came, he looked puzzled and said, "I am so young, why do I need to take care of myself?" ”In fact, it’s not just during adolescence that we should pay attention to abnormal changes in reproductive development. Don’t squeeze the pimples in the triangular area of the face. There was a high school student who squeezed the pimples around the nose and caused intracranial infection and was admitted to the ICU. It is really not alarmist.
Don’t think that it’s just young people who don’t take it seriously. Many young and middle-aged people in their thirties and forties, relying on their good health, don’t even go to work for physical examinations. They are afraid of radiation for chest CT and find it embarrassing for digital anal examination. There is a patient who works in the Internet operation. He has not participated in physical examinations for three consecutive years. He took stomach medicine to cope with the stomach pain. In the end, it was found to be advanced gastric cancer, and even the chance of surgery was lost. In fact, health care for this age group is not that complicated. There is no need to buy health care gift boxes that cost thousands. If you get up to get a glass of water and walk for two steps after sitting for an hour, you can avoid most of the chronic prostatitis problems. If you can't refuse social events, drink less. There is no consensus on drinking in the academic circles. Some studies say that a small amount of red wine has cardiovascular effects. Benefit, there is also authoritative research from The Lancet that shows that as long as alcohol is consumed, it will cause damage to the body. We ordinary people do not need to go to extremes. Those who have a history of gout, high blood pressure, and liver disease are the best to quit. If you don’t have underlying diseases and really want to drink, just control your weekly alcohol intake within 15g. Don’t drink it to death for the sake of face.
There are also advertisements for men’s kidney supplements that are overwhelming on the Internet. Don’t believe them. Regular Chinese medicine syndrome differentiation and maintenance can indeed improve the problems of weak waist and knees and fatigue. However, most of the “quick-acting aphrodisiacs” sold in WeChat Moments and recommended by WeChat merchants are secretly Sildenafil was added and even banned ingredients were added. There was a 35-year-old salesperson who secretly ate these products for half a year to save face. When he finally came for a check-up, not only did his blood pressure rise to 180, but he also suffered mild kidney damage. The gain outweighed the gain.
When you reach the age of fifty and up, many old ideas have to be changed. Don't always believe in the saying "one drop of semen, ten drops of blood". Deliberately holding back semen for a long time will increase the risk of prostate hyperplasia. Remember to add PSA, which is prostate-specific antigen screening, to your annual physical examination. You can screen for prostate cancer early for just a few dozen yuan, which is much more reliable than buying a bunch of useless physical therapy devices. There are also many men who are always bound by the concept of "men don't shed tears easily". They hold back the pressure of work and life and don't like to talk to their family members or talk to friends. Clinically, the detection rate of depression in men is much lower than that of women, but the suicide rate is higher. Going downstairs to catch fish, playing half-court basketball, or even playing chess with an old friend is better than sitting at home smoking and worrying.
After all, men's health care is really nothing to be embarrassed about. It is just like brushing your teeth and washing your face. It is a daily trivial matter. Pay more attention to it, and you will suffer less. You can also go further with your family.
