The five most vulnerable parts of women

Humans are born "weak" animals. Their health is being violated at any time. There are more and more female diseases. So how should women protect their health? What should they pay attention to in their daily diet?

The five most disease-prone parts of women: breasts top the list

Number one: Breast - high incidence

Some of the culprits that cause mastitis are usually small details that we ignore on a daily basis. For example, underwear that doesn’t fit well, unscientific exercise methods, or even casual work and rest schedules and careless eating habits. Today, approximately 1.2 million women worldwide are diagnosed with breast cancer and 500,000 die from it each year. In developed countries such as Western Europe and North America, the incidence of breast cancer ranks first among female malignant tumors.

It is worth noting that China is one of the countries with the fastest growing incidence of breast cancer. Statistics released by the China Anti-Cancer Association show that the incidence of breast cancer in my country has been increasing at an annual rate of 3% in recent years, becoming the cancer with the fastest growing mortality rate in cities, and the age of onset is also showing a trend of gradually getting younger.

Of all the female organs, the breasts are arguably the most vulnerable part of a woman. Once you are over 30, every woman should learn to examine her breasts herself. The method of self-examination is to lie flat on the bed in a supine position, and press the breasts clockwise with the fingertips, but do not take a grabbing posture. If you feel scattered granular objects, you should seek medical attention and ask the doctor to help make the final judgment.

Health tips:

1. In daily life, eat less high-fat, high-protein, low-fiber foods. At the same time, smoke and drink less, eat less spicy and irritating foods, and eat more cabbage, kelp and soy products.

2. You should wear bras with steel supports and good support to avoid feeling pressure on your breasts. Also, be careful to avoid external forces colliding with your breasts during daily activities.

3. Learn to vent and regulate yourself in the stressful life and work, relax your emotions, and combine work and rest; engage in appropriate outdoor activities, such as taking a walk and doing aerobics.

4. The most important thing is to have a breast examination by a specialist once a year, either by breast ultrasound or mammography. Women over 40 need to have additional molybdenum-palladium radiography every one to two years to check for signs of malignant tumors.

Tanhua: Ligaments - inherently fragile

Compared with men, women are more likely to strain ligaments in joints such as the knee and ankle. Because women's hips are wider, the ligaments bear too much force, so women's ligaments are naturally much more fragile than men's. Secondly, women’s motor reactions are generally slower than men’s. When danger occurs, they cannot be relieved in time, making them more susceptible to injury.

The most common sprain for women during sports is ankle sprain. Repeated sprains can cause poor local blood circulation in the ankle joint, decreased tissue elasticity, and even lead to serious consequences such as avulsion fracture of the fibula and complete rupture of the lateral ligament. Once a ligament is torn, it can take months to heal.

Health tips:

1. Doing full-body stretching exercises after getting up every day can wake up your muscles and soften your tendons, ligaments, and joints.

2. After a woman becomes pregnant, her hormone levels change, causing joint ligaments to relax. Therefore, women should arrange their work and life reasonably during pregnancy, try to do less or avoid heavy physical labor, and avoid unnecessary strenuous activities, which will make the already stressed ligaments even worse.

3. Women have poor adaptability to activities that require high amounts of physical activity, which can easily lead to muscle strain and ligament damage. Therefore, they should pay attention to warm-up exercises and proceed step by step during exercise.

4. Choose various sports activities that mainly involve leg activities, such as table tennis, badminton, swimming, skating, aerobics, etc., which can enhance the leg's jumping ability and enhance the flexibility of muscles and ligaments.

2nd place: Digestive system – working hard

Even if men and women eat the same amount of food, women take longer to digest it than men. Studies have shown that women are three times and twice as likely to suffer from chronic constipation and intestinal diseases as men, respectively. The difference obviously starts with chewing. Also, women's saliva has a different chemical composition than men's, which may make the digestion of food in women seem slow and time-consuming. Traditional Chinese medicine has found that women with facial spots usually have weaker digestive systems.

Health tips:

1. It is worth noting that women’s digestive system is more fragile during menstruation. Studies have found that about 45% of women will experience abdominal bloating during menstruation, and nearly 1/3 of women say that symptoms of stomach discomfort have become a sign of the arrival of menstruation. Therefore, special attention should be paid to diet during the premenstrual period.

2. In life, you should try to avoid unbalanced diet, eating junk food and fatty meat. Foods such as konjac, black fungus, kelp, apples, honey, brown rice, etc. can help detoxify the digestive system and do "gymnastics" for the intestines.

4. Cervix - full of dangers

Of all female organs, the cervix is ​​the most common site for malignant tumors. Relevant data show that the damage caused by cervical cancer to women's health and life is second only to breast cancer. Professionals say that China has 131,500 new cases of cervical cancer each year, accounting for one-third of the world's total number of cases. About 50,000 people die from cervical cancer each year, and the incidence population is concentrated in women aged 40 to 60. Cervical cancer used to be more common among middle-aged and elderly women, but now there is a clear trend of earlier onset.

Health tips:

1. Eat a light diet with plenty of fruits, vegetables and light food, and take plenty of rest;

2. Pay attention to health care during key periods, because many women are very susceptible to this disease, so you must pay attention to health care, especially during menstruation, pregnancy and postpartum period;

3. Keep the vulva clean. It is very necessary to keep the vulva clean, and you should go to the hospital for regular check-ups to ensure early detection and early treatment.

5. Bladder - a troubled place

The bladder is also a troublesome area for women, and 20% of women will experience brief cystitis in their lifetime. According to surveys in Taiwan and other places, women are most susceptible to cystitis. In addition, cystitis is prone to occur after long-term urine retention, after sexual intercourse, after menstruation, and after urethral or gynecological instrument examinations. The causative bacteria are mostly Escherichia coli.

Health tips:

1. Drinking water is the key to preventing cystitis. You should make sure to drink 6-8 glasses of water every day, do not develop the bad habit of holding your urine, and urinate every two or three hours.

2. Wear cotton underwear, otherwise it will hinder air circulation and breed bacteria.

3. Avoid irritants. Avoid using oils, feminine hygiene sprays, or powders around your genitals, and avoid using any chemicals on your genitals. Avoid using bath oils or taking bubble baths, and bathe with a shampoo instead.
