6 body signals that men need to "check up"

6 signs from a man's body that suggest it's time for him to "check up" his body! Do you know what these 6 signs are? Let me introduce them to you in detail below! Let's take a look!

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. Cardiologists from the British Cardiovascular Society emphasize that if you feel shortness of breath and chest pain and tightness in cold weather, after eating or when you are physically exhausted, it may be a warning sign of arterial narrowing.

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

Chronic inflammation of blood vessels is believed to be the cause of arteriosclerosis. Studies have shown that plant compounds called polyphenols have both anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. In addition, vegetables are rich in vitamins that act as antioxidants, which means they have the effect of neutralizing free radicals that damage cells.

The study focused on cauliflower, carrots, green beans, peas, and corn, in part because these are the most commonly eaten vegetables in the U.S. It is likely that other vegetables have similar anti-arteriosclerotic effects, but more research is needed.

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 actually 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 vulvar itching. 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.

Problem 5: Frequent intestinal bloating

Answer "No" to pass; answer "Yes" to warn.

Unbearable intestinal bloating, changes in bowel habits (from once a day to three or four times a day), anal pain with mucus or blood in the stool may all be related to bowel cancer, explained Mark, an oncologist at the Christie Hospital in Manchester, England. Changes in bowel habits are because the tumor interferes with the normal digestive process. In addition, the tumor can cause ulcers or polyps, which in turn 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 a sensory function?

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

The loss of any sense (sight, hearing, touch, etc.) means that some substance is interfering with the corresponding part of the brain. If the loss of a sense is accompanied by frequent irritability and loss of control for no reason and lingering headaches, this may be a benign disease, cerebral hemorrhage or 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.
