As the pace of life quickens, for men, they not only have to bear the responsibility of the family but also face considerable work pressure. Moreover, male friends are not as meticulous as female friends in life and often overlook some changes in their bodies. Although sometimes only minor pains occur, which do not affect health, enduring them will be fine. However, many minor pains could be precursors of serious illnesses in our bodies. Therefore, these minor pains should not be ignored by male friends.
Four parts of the male body often experience pain, so don’t bear it, as it could be a sign of a serious illness.
1. Frequent headaches
Headaches are generally a small and common issue in daily life, but common headaches should not be underestimated, especially for elderly people and obese male compatriots, as headaches could be a symptom of local blood vessel blockage affecting normal blood circulation. Without treatment and relying solely on endurance, the risk of a stroke could increase.
2. Abdominal pain
Abdominal pain is often related to stomach or gallbladder problems. For example, if there are gallstones in the gallbladder, it can cause abdominal pain. Persisting in enduring the pain for a long time can further worsen the condition, leading to more severe diseases that are extremely detrimental to our health.
3. Lower back pain
The lower back is a crucial area, and most kidney problems can be sensed through abnormalities in the lower back. Therefore, if there is pain in the lower back, there is a high likelihood of kidney issues, such as kidney stones, hydronephrosis, and other kidney diseases. So, when there is lower back pain, it should be taken seriously, and it is best to promptly visit a hospital for a check-up to see if there are any kidney-related illnesses.
4. Painful urination
The prostate is one of the parts of the male body that ages most easily. Most middle-aged and elderly men will experience prostate problems. Severe prostate diseases can affect urination, leading to difficulties in urination, painful urination, and symptoms like frequent urination, urinary hesitation, incomplete urination, etc. Therefore, timely treatment is necessary when prostate problems arise to avoid impacting normal life. Additionally, if urine color becomes dark brown or there is blood in urine, it could be caused by bladder infection or bladder cancer, requiring immediate medical treatment.
Many men have various bad habits that can jeopardize their health if not careful. In life, it is essential to understand the harm these bad habits pose to our health and make efforts to discard them to better maintain our health. Male friends need to address these bad habits promptly to avoid health risks.
1. Excessive drinking
Many men often need to socialize in life, making excessive drinking commonplace, and some even develop alcohol abuse habits. However, frequent alcohol abuse can cause significant harm to the body, especially to the liver. Over 65% of the alcohol consumed is metabolized by the liver. It can be safely said that only when the liver is healthy can toxins and waste in the body be effectively removed. Prolonged alcohol abuse can strain the liver, leading to liver damage. Moreover, excessive drinking increases the risk of developing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, which is highly detrimental to health.
2. Irregular meals
As life stress increases, many people develop poor dietary habits in daily life, such as irregular eating patterns, skipping breakfast or dinner. However, these unhealthy dietary habits have a significant impact on health. Irregular eating patterns can lead to the accumulation of gastric acid due to delayed gastric emptying, resulting in an excessive amount of bile in the gastric acid. Over time, this can damage our gastrointestinal system and gallbladder health. As time progresses, gastrointestinal problems may arise, leading to frequent stomachaches and, in severe cases, gallstones.
Therefore, whether it’s correcting bad habits in daily life or promptly treating minor ailments, it is crucial for our health. To maintain physical health, we must not only pay attention to these issues but also maintain a certain level of physical activity and ensure a positive state of mind, which is more beneficial to our health.
