Many people should know that the onset of disease is not immediate; it is triggered by the accumulation of daily habits over time. If one does not pay attention to certain lifestyle factors regularly, it can damage the body’s organs and lead to disease, especially in males. Currently, many men have busy jobs and high life stress. Combined with a lack of attention to daily habits, it is easy to fall ill. Therefore, if men exhibit these characteristics, it implies that these diseases may come knocking at their doors.
1. Body Swelling
Healthy men may experience mild swelling in the morning when waking up, which usually disappears after about 20 minutes of activity after getting out of bed. There is no need for excessive worry. If there is still obvious swelling in the head and face after becoming fully awake, it is necessary to be cautious about heart disease or kidney disease. Timely medical check-ups are essential to rule out the possibility of illness.
2. Frequent Dizziness
If men experience headaches and dizziness, it may indicate cervical spondylosis as the patient’s cervical arteries are compressed, leading to insufficient blood supply to the brain. Additionally, high blood lipids can slow down blood reflux, decrease oxygen levels in the blood, cause inadequate oxygen supply to the brain, and result in dizziness, especially in the morning.
3. Muscle Pain
Men often feel joint and muscle pain throughout the body, and their movements are restricted. If the pain gradually eases after activity, it may indicate osteoporosis, rheumatic diseases, or rheumatoid arthritis. Moreover, allergic conditions such as systemic sclerosis or dermatomyositis can also cause stiffness.
4. Reduced Urination, Urinary Frequency
When experiencing frequent urination urgency but the urine output is consistently low, or unable to urinate despite urgency, attention should be given. This could likely be due to urinary tract infections or prostatitis; caution against the occurrence of cancer. It is imperative to promptly seek medical advice for accurate diagnosis and prevention of disease progression.
5. Abnormal Sensory Functions
Severe headaches may indicate brain diseases such as brain tumors or brain vascular blockages or hemorrhages. Immediate hospital checks are necessary to avoid disease deterioration. Prolonged headache symptoms may also be caused by hypertension or eye diseases. Comprehensive medical examinations in hospitals are recommended regardless.
6. Visual Impairments
Inadequate oxygen supply to the brain can cause temporary visual impairments, including dark or double shadows and, in severe cases, brief blindness. It is crucial to investigate diabetes and other cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Immediate hospital checks are essential to identify the causes and initiate early treatment.
7. Excessive Sweating
Sweating is a normal physiological phenomenon. However, if sweating continues profusely without apparent cause, it needs attention. Firstly, beware of blood sugar issues, as excessive sweating is a typical symptom of diabetes. Hypoglycemia can also cause paleness and cold sweats. If excessive sweating, intolerance to heat, nervousness, insomnia, excessive suspicion, and other symptoms occur simultaneously, be cautious of hyperthyroidism.
8. Emotional Sensitivity
What are the symptoms of male menopause? Emotional instability, frequent mental sensitivity, nervousness, mood swings, unfounded fears, feelings of loneliness, psychological issues like lack of confidence or self-acceptance often arise. In such situations, men in their menopausal period can seek solace from family or friends, engage in outdoor activities actively, explore personal interests to redirect attention, and restore emotional balance.
Men should pay attention to these signals of disease, enabling early detection, prompt treatment, and effective prevention. Moreover, in daily life, we must cultivate good habits. Lastly, remind men to avoid smoking and alcohol, engage in physical exercise, and maintain a balanced diet to ensure proper nutritional intake and prevent illnesses effectively.
