Cancer in couples is often transmitted through this part

Sometimes it is true that "misfortunes never come singly, and blessings never come in pairs." In a family, the husband was just diagnosed with cancer, and within a few months, the wife was also announced to have cancer. This kind of blow is unbearable for any family. This phenomenon cannot be ruled out as accidental, but from a medical point of view, there is a certain regularity in couples suffering from cancer one after another, which can often be confirmed through relevant epidemiological surveys.

A husband and wife both suffer from cancer, either at the same time or one after the other. The cancer sites may be the same or different. This is the so-called "couple cancer," a phenomenon that has gradually been observed by the medical community in recent years.

A data statistic from the World Health Organization Shanghai Collaborating Center for Cancer Research shows that nearly 1/3 of the male deaths in Shanghai each year are due to malignant tumors; nearly 1/4 of the female deaths each year are due to malignant tumors. Based on these two data, a conservative calculation is: at least 5 out of 100 couples who died had cancer. It is an indisputable fact that there is an increasing trend of cancer in couples. It is more common after the age of 60. The older the age, the higher the incidence rate. The root cause of cancer in couples is living under the same roof, eating from the same plate of Chinese food, breathing the same air, and having the same unhealthy lifestyle, such as smoking, eating too much salty food, long-term tension and anxiety, etc.

When a couple lives together for a long time, they have similar lifestyles and are exposed to the same cancer risk factors, so carcinogenic factors tend to endanger both of them in the same way.

If the husband smokes, the wife will suffer from passive smoking; if they eat at the same table, bad eating habits will harm both of them; if they live in the same room, environmental carcinogens will harm both of them; Helicobacter pylori infection and hepatitis B virus infection may also be transmitted in living together, and these two infections are closely related to the occurrence of gastric cancer and liver cancer.

In addition, once the husband or wife is diagnosed with cancer, the other party will be under tremendous pressure both mentally and physically, which will lead to a sharp decline in immune function and manifest as the phenomenon of husband-wife cancer. Similarly, the lack of a harmonious atmosphere in the family, complaints between husband and wife, and long-term living in tension and anxiety are also inducing conditions for marital cancer that cannot be ignored.

Some people are afraid. Does “couple cancer” mean that if one spouse gets cancer, the other will definitely get cancer as well? No! The key lies in prevention.

If one party has bad living habits, the other party should improve them with positive methods and never give in or turn a blind eye. If the couple has developed cancer, the mentality of both parties becomes more important. Data shows that among more than 20 couples with cancer, more than 90% have survived for more than 5 years. The reason is that after they became ill, they were able to actively participate in the association's comprehensive rehabilitation activities, pay attention to using traditional Chinese medicine to consolidate the therapeutic effect, consciously change their living habits, maintain a good attitude, and do appropriate physical exercise. They have really "changed their way of life" by quitting smoking and limiting alcohol consumption, eating a balanced diet, increasing exercise, and always maintaining an optimistic attitude. Summarizing their experience, the key points of prevention are:

1. Adjust your mindset

Be good at controlling your emotions, adopt a positive and optimistic attitude, treat the disease correctly, build confidence, cooperate with treatment, and face life with a smile.

2. Actively participate in social activities

And appropriately participate in healthy physical exercises, such as Guolin Qigong, to get rid of the shadow of cancer on life. This is conducive to recovery and adds interest to life.

3. Cancer patients have low immunity

You should go to a regular hospital and receive comprehensive treatment using scientific methods, using more non-toxic and anti-tumor Chinese medicines to strengthen your body and regulate your body.

4. Adjust your diet and get rid of bad habits

Eat less high-fat foods and sweets; eat less salted, smoked, fried, grilled and food containing food additives; do not eat moldy food; do not drink excessively; do not smoke and stay away from smoking environments; eat more green vegetables, legumes and fresh fruits, high-protein lean meat, eggs, fresh milk and other foods.
