What are the contents and methods of men’s preventive health care knowledge?

The essence of men's preventive health care is full-cycle health management from 20 years old to old age. The core is to avoid bad living habits, regularly screen for hidden disease risks, and take into account physical and mental state adjustments. It is not at all the narrow content of "replenishing the body" and "improving sexual function" as rumored in the market.

A while ago, I met a 28-year-old Internet programmer who always felt weak in his back and tired easily. He came across a short video saying that men over 25 should replenish their kidneys. I bought two boxes of Liuwei Dihuang pills and ate them. After taking it for half a month, I not only lost energy, but also had diarrhea every day. After a check-up at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department, I found out that he had been sitting for a long time and blowing air conditioners, and his body was cold and damp. It was not kidney yin deficiency at all, and the supplement was completely inappropriate. Don’t think this is an exception. Many people now have too deep misunderstandings about men’s health care. They either think that men’s health care is something that only middle-aged and elderly people need to worry about, or they directly equate it with sexual function, but ignore the most basic daily maintenance.

Many young men in their early twenties always feel that their bodies are like tanks. It doesn't matter if they stay up late, eat late-night snacks with cold beers, or sit at work for seven or eight hours without moving. They only know the pain when something goes wrong. I have a salesperson who works as a salesperson. He eats barbecue and drinks beer with his customers all the time. When I was 32 years old, my physical examination showed that my uric acid level was 580. Within two months, I had my first gout attack. My feet were so swollen that I couldn’t even put on slippers. I went to the hospital on crutches. Now I don’t even dare to drink more broth, let alone beer. In fact, daily maintenance is not complicated at all. You don’t need to go to the gym every day. You can stand up to get a drink of water and take two steps every 40 minutes. This can not only reduce the probability of prostate congestion, but also relieve the pressure on the lumbar spine. It is much more effective than running ten kilometers on weekends.

Speaking of this, some people may ask, can I take the testosterone supplements that are so popular on the Internet now? This topic is indeed controversial. Many fitness bloggers and health accounts are advocating that "testosterone plummets in men after the age of 30, and supplementing it can build muscle, improve energy, and rejuvenate the state." However, from a formal clinical perspective, unless you do six hormone tests to confirm that the testosterone level is lower than the normal range, accompanied by long-term fatigue, sexual desire Only those with clear symptoms such as hypotension and hair loss need to supplement under the guidance of a doctor. If you buy Internet celebrity supplements and eat them indiscriminately, it is likely to inhibit the normal secretion of your own testosterone. In severe cases, it can also cause liver function damage and permanent endocrine disorders. Several young men who eat supplements indiscriminately have reported to the endocrinology department.

Another point that everyone easily overlooks is the physical examination. When many men go for a physical examination, they feel embarrassed when they see the digital anal examination and prostate ultrasound items and skip them directly. It is really unnecessary. Last year, a 45-year-old man had a physical examination at work. He originally wanted to skip the digital anal examination, but the doctor persuaded him to do it. As a result, it was found that he had an early-stage rectal polyp, which was removed on the spot. The probability of malignant transformation in two or three years would be much higher. In addition to routine physical examination items, prostate-specific antigen screening can be added if you are over 30 years old, and prostate ultrasound is done once a year if you are over 50 years old. These are all things that cost a small amount of money and save a lot of trouble.

Don’t think that health care is only about the body. According to current clinical statistics, men who have long-term emotional depression and do not like to relieve stress are about 30% more likely to suffer from high blood pressure and coronary heart disease than those who actively release their emotions. Many men have been taught from an early age to "carry trouble" and hold back any grievances or pressures they have. Over time, the damage to the body is greater than smoking and drinking. When you have free time, ask your buddies to go fishing or play basketball for a half-time. Even if you go home and complain to your family about the bad things at work for half an hour, they are all good ways to relieve yourself. Don't think it is "pretentious".

To put it bluntly, the male body is really not as durable as everyone thinks. It is more like a family car that you usually drive. Only by filling it with the right oil, doing regular maintenance, and not slamming on the accelerator and driving smoothly can you drive smoothly for a long time. If you really wait for the fault light to come on before repairing it, you will spend several times more money and suffer the consequences.
