Men’s health science content

For 90% of men's health problems, there is no need to take supplements or find random remedies. As long as you avoid long-term smoking and drinking, sitting for long periods of time to hold urine, and staying up late, which are the three most harmful habits to the body, and then slightly adjust your diet and exercise according to your own condition, you can solve more than 80% of the discomfort. If you are still unsure, go directly to the urology department or andrology department of a regular tertiary hospital. Don't trust the "old Chinese doctors" in your circle of friends and the "special treatments" in private hospitals, as they are most likely to be a scam.

Don’t believe it. I have worked in a public tertiary-level men’s department for 7 years. Last month I just received a 28-year-old programmer from an Internet company. Calculated, I sit at my workstation for 12 hours a day. When I was working on a project, I held my urine until I almost lost my urge to pee before going to the toilet. After get off work, I had to stay up late playing two games to relax. I had frequent urination and soreness in my waist for half a month. I secretly searched the Internet for a long time, bought nearly a thousand yuan of "kidney-tonifying pills" and took them for almost two weeks. It was of no use at all. I also had nosebleeds for two days in a row. When I went to check it out, it was ordinary chronic prostatitis. I prescribed medicine worth dozens of yuan for him. I told him to stand up and walk for two minutes every hour, not to hold in his urine, and to go to bed before 10:30. After a review two weeks later, he was basically fine.

Speaking of kidney replenishment, this should be the most controversial topic in the field of men’s health. In fact, there is no concept of "kidney deficiency" in the Western medicine system. Many people feel that their waists and knees are sore and weak, and they feel lack of energy and energy. This is essentially muscle strain and poor metabolic circulation caused by sitting for a long time, coupled with neurological disorders caused by long-term lack of sleep. It has nothing to do with the kidneys. Kidney function tests are all normal. However, "kidney deficiency" in the formal TCM system is actually a collective term for a series of physical deficiencies, and it does not refer to the kidneys alone, nor does it mean "that aspect is not good" as everyone thinks. The views on both sides are actually not contradictory. If you believe more in traditional Chinese medicine, go to a doctor from a regular top-level traditional Chinese medicine hospital for syndrome differentiation and conditioning. Don’t blindly buy tonics from roadside stalls or Internet celebrity stores. I have treated several people who had problems after taking Sanwu tonics. Large doses of sildenafil analogues were added in violation of regulations. Some people with high blood pressure went directly to the emergency room after taking the tonics. If you believe more in Western medicine, you should have a routine physical examination. If you are deficient in vitamins, replenish vitamins, and if you are deficient in trace elements, replenish trace elements. There is no need to take random supplements.

Two weeks ago, there was a 32-year-old salesperson whose feet were swollen like steamed bread buns. He was helped in by a friend. A test showed that uric acid was 680 μmol/L, which is a typical acute attack of gout. He said that he had been working in sales for five or six years and had a drinking session almost every day. He always heard customers say, "Liquor does not increase uric acid, only beer does." Every time I started drinking, I would start with one pound of liquor. I would grill seafood non-stop. I had already been diagnosed with high uric acid in my physical examination, but I didn't take it seriously. This time, I panicked because it hurt so much that I couldn't walk. To be honest, all alcohol will inhibit the excretion of uric acid. No matter whether it is white beer or red beer, drinking too much will increase uric acid. Don’t take those wine table rumors as truth. When gout attacks and the pain is so painful that you want to die, it will be too late to regret it.

There is another point that many male compatriots don't care about at all - private hygiene. They always feel that this is something that only women need to pay attention to. I have treated no less than 20 young men with balanitis in the past six months. When asked, they either never turn their foreskin to clean it when taking a bath, or their partners have gynecological inflammation and they are not treated together, resulting in cross infection. Many people feel itchy and red at first and are too embarrassed to come. Speaking of which, another controversial point must be raised: Should circumcision be performed? Nowadays, many private institutions are overwhelmingly publicizing that "the foreskin must be circumcised, otherwise it will cause cancer and affect the function." In fact, this is not the case at all. As long as you can expose the glans normally after an erection and pay attention to cleaning at ordinary times, there is no need to cut. Only if you have recurring inflammation or phimosis (the glans cannot be exposed even when erect), circumcision is recommended. And you must go to a regular hospital. Don't be deceived into doing "high-end cosmetic circumcision" that costs thousands or even tens of thousands. It is essentially the same as a routine surgery worth hundreds of dollars.

Speaking of which, I work in a clinic by myself. Sometimes I sit for 4 hours in the morning to see a doctor, and it is easy to sit for a long time. My own little habit is to set an alarm on my mobile phone, which will ring once every hour. I stand up to get a glass of water, walk for two minutes, drink plenty of warm water, and go to the toilet when I feel the need to urinate. I never hold it in. After get off work, I walk three kilometers around the park next to my home before going home. I occasionally play basketball with friends on weekends. All the indicators in this year's physical examination were normal. I have never taken any kidney-tonifying or immunity-boosting supplements. To put it bluntly, regular living habits are more useful than any health care products.

Oh, by the way, there is another "that aspect" issue that everyone is most concerned about. It's normal to be in a bad state once in a while. You may be tired, stressed, or having trouble with your partner recently. Don't label yourself as "not good". Scaring yourself will make you more likely to have problems. If you are not in the right state for more than three months in a row, just go to a regular hospital for check-up. Don't blindly buy "delay miracle pills" and "enlargement creams" online. 99% of them are IQ taxes, and they may also damage your body.

In fact, men's health really doesn't have that many mysterious things. Most of the problems are caused by oneself on a daily basis. Don't do it randomly or rely on folk remedies. If you have any problems, go to a regular hospital, which is better than anything else.
