Sample summary of male preventive health knowledge content

There is no need to be superstitious about sky-high-priced tonics or "secret recipes for aphrodisiacs" spread on the Internet. As long as you avoid staying up late, sitting for long periods of time, and eating high-fat and high-salt diets, three common high-risk habits, and conduct targeted screening and intervention in three age groups: 20-30 years old, 31-50 years old, and 50 years old and above, you can avoid more than 85% of common male health risks.

Last month, when I was doing a free men's clinic in the community, I met a 32-year-old Internet programmer. He had three imported men's vitality tablets, wolfberry puree, and kidney-tonifying supplements in his pocket. He said that he took them on time every day. The physical examination report showed that the prostate was calcified and the triglycerides were high. , there were a lot of problems with blood uric acid exceeding the standard. When I asked about his daily habits, I found out that he started working at the work station for 12 hours a day. He didn't sleep before 2 a.m., and every meal was filled with takeaways heavy in oil and salt. You see, how many people have done it in the wrong order. Their daily habits are ruined, and no matter how many supplements they take, it is useless.

Nowadays, there is a lot of noise on the Internet about men's health care. The most common controversy is "should men's health care require kidney supplements?" From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, sufficient kidney qi is indeed the basis for male energy and reproductive health, but the "kidney nourishing" here does not mean that you should eat velvet antler, bullwhip, maca and other large supplements. I have seen many people supplementing themselves blindly, and supplementing has nosebleeds, blood pressure soars, and liver fire is so strong that they quarrel with their families every day. It is totally not worth the gain. The view of modern Western medicine is more direct: 90% of the so-called "kidney deficiency" symptoms that everyone often talks about, such as "backache, fatigue, and lack of energy," are sub-health conditions caused by disordered work and rest, lack of exercise, and abnormal metabolism. If you first correct the problems of staying up late and sitting for long periods of time, you will see improvement in half a month, without taking medicine at all. The two views have different logics but do not conflict with each other. You can choose based on your own situation. There is no need to take sides.

Young men in their twenties who have just entered the society always feel that they are young and energetic. Playing games all night and drinking cold beer with skewers is the norm, and they do not take health care seriously at all. I just treated a 24-year-old boy last week. He stayed up for seven days in a row to catch up on projects. During the period, he couldn't hold in his urine until he couldn't hold it in before going to the toilet. Suddenly he was in pain and couldn't walk. He was sent here to be diagnosed with acute epididymitis. The body of this age group has a strong ability to repair. You really don’t need to take any supplements. Just do a urine routine and reproductive system B-ultrasound once a year. Drink plenty of water and don’t hold back your urine. Pay attention to the frequency and hygiene of sex or masturbation. This is enough to avoid most problems. Oh, by the way, there is another misunderstanding that many people are embarrassed to ask: Domestic and foreign male associations have made it clear that moderate masturbation will not affect health at all, but it will only cause burden if it is excessively suppressed or frequent to two or three times a day, so there is no need to feel guilty.

When they reach the age of 30 and up, there are seniors and juniors, and the pressure of the workplace is on their heads. Many people’s stomachs have become round in a circle, and they have begun to look for supplements in a panic. A while ago, a 40-year-old business executive came to me and said that he bought an imported "men's anti-fatigue pill" on the recommendation of a friend. After taking it for three months, he became easily irritable and had nosebleeds frequently. During the physical examination, the transaminase level was three times higher. When he sent it for testing, he discovered that the so-called "pure natural supplement" had secretly added male hormones. Maintenance at this stage is actually simple. Traditional Chinese medicine recommends that you eat some tonic ingredients such as yam, gorgon seeds, and lotus seeds every day, and do levator exercises for 10 minutes a day, which is good for the prostate and sexual function. ； The advice of Western medicine is more towards screening. Every year, prostate specific antigen (PSA), blood lipids, and blood uric acid are tested at least three times a week. Do moderate-intensity exercise for 30 minutes each time, such as brisk walking, playing basketball, or swimming. It is much more effective than taking supplements worth thousands of dollars. The two methods can be combined.

After the age of 50, many uncles begin to follow health lectures and move all kinds of health products and health instruments to their homes, which makes them easy to fall into traps. There was an old patient who spent more than 20,000 yuan to buy a physical therapy device that is said to "can radically cure prostate hyperplasia." After using it for half a year, the symptoms of frequent urination and urgency became worse. When he went to the hospital, he found out that it was ordinary benign prostatic hyperplasia. He was prescribed medicine worth tens of yuan and it was relieved after half a month. There is another controversial point here. Many people ask: Can eating tomatoes to supplement lycopene prevent prostate cancer? At present, there is no large-scale clinical data in the academic community to prove this conclusion. We can only say that eating more fresh fruits and vegetables is good for metabolism. There is no need to spend a lot of money on purified lycopene supplements. And there is really no need to be ashamed to see an andrologist at this stage. Prostatic hyperplasia and decreased sexual function are normal manifestations of aging. Regular intervention can completely maintain a good quality of life.

After all, there is really nothing mysterious about men’s health care. Most people complicate simple things, spend a lot of money and get into trouble. Oh, by the way, there is another point that many people ignore: men habitually hold back their emotions and do not vent them, which has a much greater impact on health than you think. Over time, high blood pressure, gastrointestinal ulcers, and chronic headaches will come to your doorstep. Occasionally, you can drink tea with friends to complain, go fishing for a run on the weekend, all stress will be relieved, and it is better than any tonic.
