Three kinds of "women's diseases" make men miserable

Some diseases are called "women's diseases" because they are more common among women, but "women's diseases" are not exclusive to women. If men do not pay attention to their health, they are likely to suffer from "women's diseases." Next, let’s take a look at the three major “women’s diseases” that love to plague men.

Men also suffer from breast disease due to emotional influence

The truth: Don’t forget that men also have nipples and glandular tissue, and of course they can also suffer from breast disease. The incidence of male breast cancer is 1% of that of females. Although the incidence is not high, men's chests are relatively flat and they have less breast tissue than women. Even if the tumor is only 2-3 cm, cancer cells will invade the skin, muscles, axillary lymph nodes and other organs of the body within a short period of several months.

People have a poor awareness of prevention of male breast cancer, and male breast examinations are not included in routine physical examinations. For many people, the disease is already in the late stage when it is discovered.

Reasons: 1. Excessive drinking leads to hepatitis, which damages the liver's metabolic function. The liver is responsible for the decomposition and excretion of estrogen in men. Liver dysfunction can significantly reduce or even eliminate the inactivation of estrogen in the body. The accumulation of estrogen in the body promotes the development of breasts and causes breast diseases.

2. Regular consumption of poultry, meat, and fish fed with estrogen feed will cause estrogen to accumulate in the body, interfering with and affecting the body's endocrine balance, and providing conditions for the occurrence of breast diseases.

3. Some drugs can also induce breast diseases if used inappropriately. For example, the drug "Remifon" for treating tuberculosis has a chemical molecular structure very similar to that of estrogen, and its effect on the human body is similar to that of estrogen.

Response: Understand the family's genetic history to find out whether anyone in the family has experienced this symptom, and pay full attention to it.

Check regularly at least once a month to help him examine the tissue around the nipple and the lymph nodes in the armpit. If his breasts feel boil-like or have lumps, or even if there is milk discharge or water discharge from the nipples, he should see a doctor as soon as possible.

Cross infection, gynecological diseases affect men

The truth: Candidal vaginitis is a contagious disease. When a wife suffers from a gynecological disease, it can be directly transmitted to her husband through sexual intercourse. At this time, the fungus can quietly hide in the husband's urethra. However, some men do not have obvious symptoms and are unable to seek medical treatment.

Cause: Genital tract inflammation such as Trichomonas vaginitis and candidal vaginitis is very common in gynecological diseases, and the onset of these diseases is related to sexual life.

Candidal vaginitis is mainly a type of vaginal inflammation caused by infection with Candida albicans, Cryptococcus neoformans and other Candida fungi. About 1/6 of women and 1/3 of pregnant women have fungal parasites in their vagina, which can be transmitted to men through sexual intercourse.

Response: Avoid infection during sexual intercourse. When a woman is diagnosed with candidal vaginitis, it is best not to have sex, because having sex when the vagina is inflamed will not only damage the vaginal wall, but also allow the fungus to be transmitted between the couple.

Both sides govern together. When a man is diagnosed with a reproductive tract disease, he should be treated as soon as possible, and both parties should be treated at the same time.

No longer upright, osteoporosis is the reason

The truth: Osteoporosis has always been considered by the medical community to be a disease that affects women more severely, but this disease does not spare men either. Although the incidence of osteoporosis in men is lower than that in women and the age of osteoporosis is later than that in women, the incidence of secondary osteoporosis in men is even higher than that in women due to the greater stress in life and more bad habits.

Cause: Androgen deficiency can affect the balance of cytokines that regulate bone metabolism and is one of the reasons for decreased bone formation and bone loss in men.

Response: Exercise more. Qigong, walking or swimming are all good exercises. It is best to stay outdoors in the sun for 15 to 45 minutes every day to encourage the body to produce vitamin D.

Eat more calcium-rich foods. Strong bones require calcium, zinc and vitamin D. Cheese and other dairy products are rich in calcium; you can eat more fresh vegetables, such as broccoli, onions, cauliflower, cabbage, sauerkraut and fruits; eat fish at least once a week, fish can meet the body's needs for vitamin D and enable the body to better absorb calcium from the intestines.

Regularly do bone density tests. Men over 40 years old should go to the hospital for a bone density test once a year.
