Be careful! Two major "gynecological diseases" for men

The proportion of women suffering from breast cancer, migraine, varicose veins, and osteoporosis is much higher than that of men, so in medicine, these diseases have always been classified as "women's diseases." However, according to statistics and clinical findings in recent years, these diseases will not let men go. Experts remind that in the disease spectrum, many so-called "women's diseases" are not exclusive to women, and men should also be wary of "women's diseases." As long as they are a little careless, those gender-specific diseases will "go the other way."

Breast diseases are not exclusive to women

In people's consistent consciousness, men's bodies are always superior to women's because they appear to be physically strong, but is this really the case? This concept not only influences the thinking of ordinary people like us, but even some doctors believe so.

It cannot be ignored that men also have nipples and glandular tissues, and of course they can also suffer from breast diseases. The incidence of male breast cancer is 1% of that of females. Although the incidence is not high, men have flatter chests and less breast tissue than women. Even if the tumor is only 2 to 3 cm, cancer cells will invade the skin, muscles, axillary lymph nodes and other organs of the body in a short period of time. Therefore, if they suffer from breast cancer, the spread of cancer cells is generally only a few months.

People have a poor awareness of preventing male breast cancer, and male breast examinations are not included in routine physical examinations. Many people are already in the late stages when the disease is discovered.

Cause Analysis:

1 Excessive drinking leads to hepatitis, which damages the liver's metabolic function. The liver is responsible for the decomposition and excretion of estrogen in the male body. Liver dysfunction will significantly reduce or even eliminate the inactivation of estrogen in the body. The accumulation of estrogen in the body promotes the development of the breast, causing breast disease.

2. Regular consumption of poultry, meat, and fish fed with estrogen-added feed will cause estrogen to accumulate in the body, interfering with and affecting the body's endocrine balance, and providing conditions for the occurrence of breast diseases.

3 There are also some drugs that can induce breast diseases if used inappropriately, such as the drug "Remifon" for treating tuberculosis. Its chemical molecular structure is very similar to that of estrogen, and its effect on the human body is also similar to that of estrogen.

Coping strategies:

1 Understand the family's genetic history to find out whether anyone in the family has had this symptom and pay full attention to it.

2. Check regularly. At least once a month, use your fingers to check the tissues around the nipples and the lymph nodes in the armpits. If the breasts feel lumpy or hard, or if there is milk discharge or water discharge from the nipples, you should see a doctor as soon as possible.
