Who can answer these "questions" of men?

Although men seem so strong, they actually have many problems regarding their health. Who can help them solve them?

Question 1: Is it difficult to breathe in cold weather?

Answer “no” to pass; answer “yes” to be warned.

Shortness of breath means that the heart is forced to increase its workload. If you feel your heart is under pressure at the same time, you should pay attention. Ryan Simpson, a cardiologist at the British Cardiovascular Society, emphasized that if you feel shortness of breath, chest pain and tight lips in cold weather, after eating or when you are physically exhausted, it may be a warning of arterial narrowing.

What to do: An electrocardiogram (ECG) may be done to monitor heart activity, and a stress test may also be done.

Question 2: Do you often wake up at night?

Answer “no” to pass; answer “yes” to be warned.

Irregular nighttime waking may be caused by: first, aging makes muscles weaker; second, drinking a lot of coffee, caffeinated beverages, alcohol or sleep disorders. If you have an urgent need to urinate, but the amount of urine is very small, and there is blood in the urine or semen, this may be a urinary tract infection, prostatitis, or even cancer.

What to do: Frequent urination is not a sign of prostate cancer, but a physical examination can help you understand your risk of the disease. In addition, checking the rectal condition and prostate-specific antigen level will help diagnose whether you really have cancer.

Question 3: Is there any embarrassing itching?

Answer “no” to pass; answer “yes” to be warned.

High levels of glucose in the blood can easily lead to fungal infections, which can cause itching of the vulva. If symptoms persist and are accompanied by thirst, blurred vision, extreme fatigue, and frequent urination (especially at night), then this is likely type 2 diabetes. Other factors to consider include family history, age, and waist circumference. Men with a waist circumference of more than 94 cm will also have an increased risk of the disease.

Response: It is recommended to have a blood test or change bad lifestyle habits.

Question 4: Do you sweat a lot often?

Answer “no” to pass; answer “yes” to be warned.

Symptoms such as excessive sweating (especially at night), loss of libido, irritability, depression and poor morning performance may be related to a drop in testosterone levels in men. Many men admit that these symptoms begin to appear around the age of 50. Another possible cause is a decrease in male gonadal function, which leads to a drop in testosterone levels.

What to do: Testosterone-directed therapy can not only improve erectile dysfunction, but it can also help lower cholesterol levels.

Question 5: Do you often have intestinal bloating?

Answer "No" to pass; answer "Yes" to be warned.

Unbearable gas and bloating, changes in bowel habits (three or four times a day instead of once a day), anal pain with mucus or blood in the stool may all be related to bowel cancer. Changes in bowel habits are caused by the tumor interfering with the normal digestive process. In addition, the tumor can cause ulcers or polyps, which can cause bleeding.

Response: Men under 50 are more likely to have colitis. Men over 50 who have these symptoms should be screened for colon cancer promptly.

Question 6: Have you lost any sensory function?

Answer “no” to pass; answer “yes” to be warned.

The loss of any sense (sight, hearing, touch, etc.) means that something is interfering with the corresponding part of the brain. If the loss of a sense is accompanied by frequent, unexplained irritability, loss of control, and persistent headaches, it may be a benign disease, cerebral hemorrhage, or a brain tumor.

Response: A comprehensive diagnosis is made based on various symptoms. Persistent headaches may also be caused by eye diseases or high blood pressure.

Question 7: Is it difficult to drive at night?

Answer “no” to pass; answer “yes” to be warned.

If your eyes feel uncomfortable while driving at night, it means there is something wrong with your eyes, said Rob Hogan, president of the British College of Optometrists. If you are young, the problem may be retinal macular degeneration, which affects your ability to see at night; if you are elderly, the cause is more likely to be the formation of cataracts. As the condition worsens, blurred vision may also occur during the day, and about one-third of people over 65 years old are troubled by this.

Response: Surgery is the most effective way to treat cataracts, and it is also the only way.

Question 8: Have you ever experienced temporary double vision?

Answer “no” to pass; answer “yes” to be warned.

This occurs when the blood supply to the brain is momentarily disturbed and is associated with a transient ischemic attack (mini-stroke). Double vision may also be associated with other medical conditions: thyroid problems, diabetes, or multiple sclerosis.

Response: If it is a minor stroke, it is recommended to rest more, drink tea, and seek treatment immediately. Because this symptom will greatly increase the risk of severe stroke in the future. Patients with high blood pressure and diabetes should pay special attention to emergency treatment.

Question 9: Do you often feel sad?

Answer “no” to pass; answer “yes” to be warned.

Fluctuating moods, loss of interests such as sports and meeting friends, even loss of sexual desire, frequent fatigue, and lack of goals in life are all manifestations of depression. Men may also be irritable, lose their temper suddenly, become increasingly out of control, and be more adventurous and aggressive. They are three times more likely to commit suicide than ordinary people and are more likely to suffer from coronary artery sclerosis.

How to deal with it: Seek help from family, friends and professionals in a timely manner. If you are under too much pressure, take a long vacation and re-plan your life.
