Eight "modern diseases" of women from head to toe

Decades ago, when people were hungry and cold and had to work in the fields every day, even doctors would have never heard of these fashionable diseases - screen face, earphone ears,

Mouse hand, computer neck, glass stomach, holding bladder, anxious heart, sofa butt and economy class legs. From head to toe diseases, just by looking at the names of the diseases you can tell that they are all caused by modern life. How can we enjoy a good life without suffering from modern diseases?

Screen Face

Typical symptoms: Rough skin, dull eyes

Facing the computer for a long time will cause pale face, dry skin, and in severe cases, acne. Some people will also have expressionless face, stiff muscles, and confused eyes. The combined symptoms of these are - screen face.

The results of a "China Urban Health Survey" organized by a certain organization once showed that people in the workplace spend 8 to 12 hours in front of the computer every day. Computer screens emit electromagnetic radiation, and coupled with less and less communication with people, it is easy to cause facial expressions to be indifferent, eyes to be dull, looks to be dull, and lack of smiles, which are also manifestations of screen face.

Prevention and control guide: Wash your face quickly after using the computer

Staying away from the display is the most effective way to deal with screen face. Reduce the time you spend using the computer. Even when using a computer, keep the screen at least 70 cm away from your body.

In addition, you can also adjust the indoor lighting to avoid direct light on the screen, and move around for 10 minutes every 60 minutes or so of computer viewing. In terms of diet, you should also pay attention to eating more vegetables and fruits, increasing the supplementation of various vitamins, and drinking more water. Clean your skin promptly after using the computer, use milder skin care products, moisturize your skin more often, and try not to wear heavy makeup.

Headphones

Typical symptoms: hearing loss, dizziness and headache

The hearing loss, tinnitus, ear pain, dizziness and headache caused by wearing headphones for a long time are vividly called "headphone ear" by experts.

Urban people spend a lot of time on the road, and listening to music and playing games with headphones while walking or riding have become their main forms of entertainment. However, behind this beautiful melody, there is an invisible killer hidden.

When people put on headphones, the outer ear is almost blocked. When using headphones in noisy environments such as buses and busy streets, people tend to turn up the volume very high. High-volume audio sound pressure enters the ear directly, concentrated

It is delivered to the very thin eardrum, and the distance between the vibrating membrane of the earphone machine and the eardrum is very close, so the range of sound wave propagation is small and concentrated, which stimulates the auditory nerve of the eardrum relatively greatly. Living under noise levels above 80 decibels continuously will

Memory loss, decreased cognitive ability, etc. may occur, and in severe cases, deafness may occur. Especially for teenagers, whose auditory organs have not yet fully developed, the harm caused by headphones is even more obvious. Children who use headphones to listen to music and play games for a long time will not only suffer hearing loss, but may also become irritable, have memory loss, and have difficulty concentrating.

Prevention and control guide: Keep the volume of headphones as low as possible

When using headphones, it is best to control the volume to a level that allows you to hear others talking while listening to music, so as to avoid over-stimulating your ears. Moreover, the continuous usage time must not be too long. It is best to take off the headphones and rest for a while every half hour of listening. It is best for teenagers not to use headphones. If they must use them, it is best to choose over-ear headphones produced by regular manufacturers. Such headphones have relatively better sound quality.

In addition, hearing loss always occurs unknowingly, and many people go to the hospital only when their hearing loss is very serious, thus missing the best time for treatment. Young children cannot speak, but when they often "turn a deaf ear", have difficulty concentrating, and have slow reactions, parents should be alert. It is best to take the children to the hospital for a hearing screening to detect problems early.

Mouse Hand

Typical symptoms: numbness, pain and weakness in fingers

Prolonged or improper use of the mouse will cause the hand muscles to be in a state of fatigue for a long time, leading to a series of pathological changes and clinical symptoms in the hand, wrist, elbow and other joints, and even the shoulder joint. This pathological change or clinical syndrome is commonly known as mouse hand.

When we use a mouse, our fingers are constantly making repetitive movements, causing the hand muscles and joint ligaments to be in a state of fatigue for a long time. Excessive activity can cause excessive wear of bones and joints, edema of soft tissue or synovial tissue, and even compression of some nerves. The above pathological changes can cause symptoms such as finger pain, thumb muscle weakness, joint stiffness, and sometimes finger numbness and other manifestations of nerve compression. The main cause of mouse hand is excessive or improper use of the computer.

Prevention and control guide: Bubble your wrist after catching the mouse

Mouse hand is completely preventable. When your hands feel uncomfortable due to using a computer, you should use the mouse less and adjust your sitting posture and wrist position. At the same time, when choosing a mouse, it is best to choose a comfortable feel.

Choose a mouse pad with a wrist rest. It is recommended to do some hand relaxation exercises such as grasping and shaking hands after using the mouse for 40 minutes each time, or you can do appropriate massage of the hand muscles.

If you already have symptoms of mouse hand such as wrist pain or finger numbness, you can try soaking your hands or wrists in hot water every night. Hot water can relax tense ligaments and muscles as much as possible, while reducing edema in the local tissue of the carpal tunnel, thereby alleviating symptoms. Of course, if the symptoms persist, you should go to a regular specialist hospital for treatment.

Anxious

Typical symptoms: inexplicable anxiety, easy to get angry

Filled with excessive, long-lasting, vague anxiety and worry without a clear reason, the fast pace of life makes modern people's hearts more and more anxious.

Modern people generally have relatively poor psychological endurance. Everyone wants to succeed, but many people seem to be a little too eager in the pursuit of success.

Whether it is the varying numbers of exclamation marks following the "roaring style" that has swept across the country, or the frequent quarrels and even fights that occur in various occasions, what is reflected is the mentality problems of modern people. Modern people are too anxious inside.

Prevention and control guide: The key to keeping calm is to be “slow”

How to calm an anxious heart? Experts believe that "slow" is the key. Slow down the pace of life, slow down the pace of chasing, stop more often to sort out the past and reflect more.

Reading more books, listening to more music, and communicating more are also good ways to adjust your psychology. Reading more and reading good books can improve your self-cultivation and guide the improvement of your psychological quality. Listen to more music. Light and comfortable music can not only give people beauty and enjoyment, but also effectively relax people's spirit.

Glass Stomach

Typical symptoms: frequent stomach pain, bloating, etc.

Eating something dirty will cause stomachache, eating something oily will cause bloating, and you will get stomach cancer before you are 40. The stomachs of modern people are becoming more and more fragile, becoming "glass stomachs" that are vulnerable to any attack. The main reason for modern people's "glass stomach" is that we do not eat on time and eat unreasonably.

The stomach has a normal physiological rhythm. It needs to be emptied after a meal and eat again after a period of time. However, affected by working hours and environment, irregular meal times have become the norm for modern people. If you eat without a regular pattern for a long time, your entire rhythm will be disrupted. Some people like to eat too much, which is also very bad. In addition to disrupting the physiological rhythm of the stomach, it may also cause acute gastroenteritis.

Prevention and control guide: Eat on time

Pay attention to the time when eating. There should be a gap between meals. Except for the dinner on the first day and breakfast on the next day, which has a longer gap, the rest of the time it can be 4 to 5 hours.

When it comes to food, try to have as much variety as possible. The proportions of the three meals of breakfast, lunch and dinner should be balanced in total amount, and you can adjust it according to the actual situation.

Urinary bladder

Typical symptoms: dysuria, bladder inflammation

Holding urine for a long time is not good for health. People who cannot urinate in time for various reasons and have to hold urine or develop the bad habit of holding urine are considered to have a "holding bladder."

Normal urination is a very important part of health. If urine cannot be emptied normally, the functions of the bladder, ureters, and kidneys will be affected. In particular, holding urine for a long time can cause changes in bladder function.

If you hold your urine frequently, it will not only cause difficulty in urination, but may also induce cystitis. For men, holding urine for a long time will aggravate the reflux of urine to the prostate and induce prostatitis. Women may experience problems including urinary tract function and bladder.

If you don't want to hold your bladder, you must first understand the importance of normal urination. You can't take holding your bladder as a

Small matter. After holding urine for a period of time, you should empty it as quickly as possible and then replenish it with plenty of water to flush the bladder and prevent bacterial growth. If you really don't have time to urinate, you can drink less water temporarily, and then drink more water afterwards to replenish your body's needs. From a medical point of view, each person should drink 2000ml of water every day. Sufficient water can help the body excrete waste in time.

Sofa Butt

Typical symptoms: flat buttocks, damaged spine

Whenever I’m at home, I like to sit on the sofa and stay there for hours. His buttocks never leave the sofa, becoming the real "sofa buttocks".

Most sofas are relatively soft. Sitting on them for a long time will not only make our buttocks flat and our muscles loose, but also make our spine and lumbar vertebrae more susceptible to damage. The entire buttocks sink into the sofa, which leads to poor blood circulation and may also cause prostate diseases in men.

If we also attribute the harm that prolonged sitting brings to the body to "couch butt," the consequences will be even more serious.

Prevention and control guide: "Fidgeting" is a good thing

People who are nervous often fidget, unable to sit or stand, and so they move back and forth. People with "couch butt" should "fidget". On the one hand, we should pay attention to the fact that sitting for a long time is harmful to our health and understand its importance.

On the other hand, it is best not to sit on the sofa for more than half an hour, and change postures frequently. After sitting on the sofa for a while, you might as well get up and move around, turn your head, bend your waist, and kick your legs.

Economy Class Leg

Typical symptoms: leg swelling and pain

Sitting still for a long time can cause poor blood circulation in the legs and easily lead to blood clots. This condition mostly occurs in passengers traveling in economy class on an airplane, so it is also called "economy class leg."

Economy class leg thrombosis is also called deep vein thrombosis. Sitting still in a confined space for a long time and slowing blood circulation can easily form deep vein thrombosis. If the thrombus moves to the lungs, it may cause acute pulmonary embolism and cause death.

If you experience swelling and pain in your legs, especially calf pain, warmth, redness or discoloration of the skin on your legs, shortness of breath or pain when you take a deep breath, it is recommended that you go to the hospital for a vascular surgery check-up in time.

Prevention and control guide: Start with varicose veins

To prevent economy class legs, it all comes down to moving more. It’s best to lie down instead of sitting if you can, sit instead of standing if you can, and move whenever you can. Varicose veins are a common disease, but their harmfulness increases slowly. Therefore, it is recommended that patients with varicose veins who need to take long-distance flights receive treatment to avoid economy class legs.
