What are the contents of male preventive health knowledge training?

The core of standardized men's preventive health knowledge training is to cover the all-dimensional health needs of men of all ages. It is by no means limited to reproductive andrology-related content as everyone thinks. In the past two years, I was responsible for two health care trainings for men aged 30-55 in the community. Seventy percent of the people who signed up at the beginning came with the mentality of "learning how to replenish the kidneys." At the end, what almost everyone remembered most in their notebooks were content about work and rest adjustments and chronic disease warnings that seemed to have nothing to do with "men only."

The first thing to talk about is often the prevention and control of chronic metabolic diseases, which are most easily ignored by men. You must have seen that kind of man in his early thirties with a bulging belly, who can't live without smoking and drinking. When talking about physical examination, he said that he was "in great shape". During the last training The blood pressure was measured on site, and the systolic blood pressure of an older brother who had been driving an online ride-hailing service for 6 years soared to 162. He even laughed and said that he had run all night to stay up the day before, and that he would be fine if he just slept. He did not know that the first things to go wrong are the kidneys and cardiovascular systems if long-term high blood pressure is ignored. During our training, we don’t read the articles of the “Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents”. We give them suggestions for daily situations: For example, don’t always sit in your seat and check your phone while driving. Stand for 3 minutes every 40 minutes to rest on your feet. This is more useful than hoarding a bunch of expensive lumbar pads. ； Nibble on half a piece of steamed corn before going out to socialize and drink. It will make your stomach feel comfortable and can also delay the absorption of alcohol. It is much more reliable than taking a bunch of hangover pills after drinking. Oh, by the way, there is a lot of controversy about exercise on the Internet. Some people say that men must practice strength to be healthy, while others say that excessive exercise damages the body. We will make the research basis of both sides clear: If you are used to sitting for a long time, and you suddenly have to go to the iron to run a half marathon, it will easily induce rhabdomyolysis or even myocarditis. It is better to start by getting off the car two stops before get off work every day and walking for 20 minutes. There is no optimal way to exercise, only the one that suits you.

Of course, reproductive health is indeed one of the core contents of men's health care, but we will never spread folk remedies. For example, there is a lot of noise about prostate care now. Some people say that you should abstain from sex to nourish your sperm, while others say that you must ejaculate regularly. We will not choose sides, but will only make the conclusions of different studies clear: it is indeed mentioned in the current urology guidelines. Men over the age of 35 should maintain regular ejaculation 1-2 times a week to reduce the risk of prostate hyperplasia. However, if you already have acute prostatitis and obvious lower abdominal distension and pain when urinating, you must stop. Finally, the judgment standard I teach you is also very simple: no matter how you do it, as long as you don’t feel uncomfortable after doing it, it is suitable for you. There is no need to copy other people’s experience. Previously, a young man who worked in IT said that he had suffered from back pain for more than half a year. He bought Liuwei Dihuang Pills and took them for three months, but he became more and more tired. We asked him about his symptoms on the spot. He was afraid of cold, his stools were not formed all year round, he was a typical yang deficiency, and he took the wrong medicine. By the way, he also explained the common misunderstandings about kidney tonifying. We will never recommend any Internet celebrity health products.

There is another topic that was rarely mentioned before, but now every training will leave at least half an hour to talk about, which is men's emotional regulation and stress relief. Nowadays, many men have been taught since childhood that "men don't shed tears easily" and they hold back the pressure. After a long time, they either suffer from insomnia or have pain all over their body. Even after checking the equipment, they can't find anything wrong. In fact, it is a somatic reaction of stress. Last time, a ToB salesman said that he couldn't fall asleep at 2 or 3 in the morning for three months in a row. His back hurt every day, and he had no problems after taking pictures. We taught him a very simple method: put his mobile phone in the living room before going to bed, sit on the bed and do abdominal breathing for 5 minutes, inhale for 4 seconds, hold the breath for 4 seconds, and exhale for 6 seconds. He later sent us feedback, saying that after trying it for a week, he could fall asleep in half an hour in bed, and he no longer needed to rely on melatonin.

To put it bluntly, men's health training nowadays is no longer the way of focusing on "unspeakable hidden things" to gain attention in the past. It is all about the real problems encountered by people who come to participate in the training, and the real methods that can be used. After all, everyone comes to learn not to be a doctor, but to avoid getting sick and putting less burden on their families.
