What is the content of men’s preventive health care knowledge?

The core has never been the various kidney-tonifying folk remedies and sky-high-priced supplements spread online, but the maintenance of healthy habits throughout the entire age group + age-specific disease screening. This is the most cost-effective way of preventive health care. I have a 32-year-old developer friend who keeps wolfberry cordyceps soaked in a thermos cup all year round. He posts about health care every now and then in his circle of friends. As a result, last year’s physical examination showed high blood lipids and prostate calcification. He was so confused when he took the report and said that he would do "health care" tomorrow. How could he still have problems? After careful questioning, I found out that he didn't go to bed until two or three o'clock every day, and sat still for more than ten hours. On weekends, he either stayed at home or drank with friends. The little effect of wolfberry was not enough to offset these bad habits.

There are actually two extreme misunderstandings about men's health care nowadays. One group believes in everything, especially products related to "tonifying the kidneys" and "strengthening virility". Whether they are small pills with unknown ingredients or health care equipment that costs thousands, they just buy them with their eyes closed. The other group believes that health care is an IQ tax. When you are young, you rely on your body. When you are older, you still have to deal with discomfort. They think it is shameful to go to the men's department and undergo screening. Both of these have stepped on many clinical pitfalls. Last month, I met a 41-year-old brother at the outpatient clinic. He secretly took aphrodisiacs of unknown origin for more than three months. Originally, he was just a little tired from working overtime recently. In the end, he suffered drug-induced liver damage and was hospitalized for a week. It was completely unnecessary trouble.

In fact, the health care priorities of different age groups are completely different, just like car maintenance. The focus of inspection is definitely different for a new car and an old car that has been driven for ten years. Young men in their early twenties should not always think that they are young and invulnerable. They stay up late at night, hold in their urine and play games, and drink cold beer with barbecue. These habits lay hidden dangers of metabolic problems and reproductive system inflammation, which will appear after the age of thirty. Last week, there was a 20-year-old college student who stayed up for five days and four nights in a row to catch up with competitions and play games. He held in his urine until he had an acute prostatitis attack. His waist was so painful that he couldn't straighten up and his roommate picked him up. Do you think this is a crime?

After the age of 35, the metabolic rate starts to decrease, so don’t always compete with the amount of alcohol you drank and how many late nights you had when you were 20. Don’t bother skipping the lung CT and prostate-specific antigen tests during your annual physical examination. Men have a high smoking rate, and the risk of lung cancer and prostate disease is much higher than that of women. Small problems detected early in the screening can be eliminated by adjusting your daily routine and diet. If you wait until you have obvious symptoms, you will often suffer more.

There are also many people who ignore mental health care. Our society always requires men to "tears without tears" and to bear the pressure. In fact, the detection rate of depression and anxiety in men is not low at all. When you are stressed, you can have a few drinks with friends and occasionally lie down for two days without wanting to work hard. It is really not a shame. Once your mentality is smooth, many minor physical problems will naturally disappear.

To put it bluntly, there are not so many fancy methods for men’s health care that are really effective. To put it bluntly, don’t mess with your body. Get up and take two steps after sitting for an hour. Drink two bottles of iced Coke. Don’t stay up unnecessarily late. Go to a regular hospital for check-ups when you feel uncomfortable. Don’t make up for things from unknown sources. It will be more effective than saving ten pages of health posts or buying tens of thousands of health products.
