Self-diagnosis method for common diseases of working women

As a result, health is neglected, which eventually affects work! Here, I have to remind these busy office women to pay attention to their health and be careful of the following diseases:

1. Headache

Symptoms: The head often hurts, or it feels like something is wrapped around the head, causing a twisting pain, accompanied by dizziness.

Cause: Excessive use of eyes at work, focusing on the screen for a long time, lack of sleep, and too much stress are all direct causes of headaches. In addition, incorrect posture, intense work pace and too much sleep may also cause headaches.

Solution: Relax your mind and body, close your eyes occasionally or go outdoors and do some simple stretching exercises. Open a window to ventilate the room, or step away from your desk and put on headphones to listen to music. Don't take painkillers randomly when you have a headache. That will only numb your sense of pain and damage your brain nerves, but it won't solve the underlying problem.

2. Neck and shoulder pain

Symptoms: Stiff neck, numbness in shoulders, and mental depression.

Cause: Lack of exercise and heavy stress lead to muscle tension, poor blood circulation and congestion in muscle capillaries.

Solution: When you feel muscle soreness and tension, it is best to take a bath before going to bed every day to warm the affected area. Avoid maintaining the same posture for a long time, do not let your shoulders get cold, relieve stress appropriately, and do appropriate exercise.

3. Low back pain

Symptoms: In addition to pain, the waist becomes heavy, swollen, and hard. In severe cases, the patient cannot get out of bed.

Reason: Women are more prone to low back pain than men because the organs in their pelvis are more complex than those in men and the spine bears too much burden, making them more susceptible to low back pain.

Solution: If it is mild back pain, just massage or stretch your muscles and bones, and rest well. If the lower back pain is severe, do not massage it forcefully. Instead, you can take a bath or use an electric heater to warm your lower back and promote blood flow. The saying "standing for a long time will hurt your bones" is not a fallacy. Textile workers, salespersons, barbers, etc. who have to stand for a long time have to stand for several hours every day. After get off work, they are exhausted, have sore back and legs, and are prone to diseases such as hunchback, lumbar muscle strain, and varicose veins in the lower limbs.

4. Eye fatigue

Symptoms: heavy and stinging eyelids, difficulty seeing the text on the computer screen at dusk, and in severe cases, feeling like vomiting.

Causes: Wearing glasses or contact lenses with inappropriate degrees, too much stress, and too much difference in brightness between the computer screen and the office. In addition, dry eyes are also the main cause of eye fatigue, because the tear secretion covering the surface of the eyeball is less and the cornea is easily damaged.

Solution: Avoid dry eyes by blinking consciously to replenish tears. The air in the office is too dry, so you should choose non-corrosive eye drops for dripping.

5. Paralysis of hands and feet

Symptoms: Numbness or tingling in the hands and feet, which is worse in an air-conditioned room.

Cause: Caused by muscle tension.

Solution: Pay attention to the height of the chair and the table, adjust the height of the chair to a height where your hands can naturally rest on the table, and avoid exposing your hands and feet to direct wind.

6. Chronic gastritis

Symptoms: Loss of appetite, nausea, and a sinking feeling in the stomach before and after eating.

Causes: Heavy stress, lack of sleep, and overeating.

Solution: Take appropriate amount of stomach medicine and get enough rest.

Pay attention to strengthen prevention:

1. Chew food slowly;

2. Do not eat partial food and absorb balanced nutrition;

3. Reduce stress;

4. Avoid mental stress;

5. Quit smoking and drinking.

7. Constipation

Symptoms: If you do not have a bowel movement for 2 to 3 days but do not feel uncomfortable, it is not constipation; if you do not have a bowel movement for only one day but feel uncomfortable, it is constipation.

Reason: Women are more prone to constipation than men. Constipation can cause rough skin, irritability, and a higher risk of hemorrhoids, so it must be resolved quickly. If young women suffer from this disease, all they need to do is change their lifestyle habits.

Solutions and prevention methods:

1. Eat more vegetables and absorb dietary fiber;

2. Rope skipping can exercise abdominal muscles and help defecation;

3. Drink a glass of water or light salt water every morning to help gastrointestinal metabolism. Develop the habit of going to the bathroom after breakfast and pay attention to the regularity of your life.

8. Chronic diarrhea

Symptoms: Fever, continued weight loss.

Causes: Stress is a major cause of diarrhea.

Solution: If diarrhea persists, it may lead to dehydration. So drink more water and stay hydrated. Be careful not to drink cold water and take some antidiarrhea medicine appropriately. Eat less or no fried or greasy food.

9. Ulcers

Symptoms: Gastric ulcer. Easy fatigue, chest pain, vomiting blood, bloody stools. Duodenal ulcer - stomach pain and nausea when hungry.

Reason: Heavy stress and irregular eating habits.

Solution: Arrange your life well, eat at regular times and in regular amounts, actively cooperate with the doctor's guidance for treatment, and keep a good mood.

The above is just common sense self-care for white-collar women. If the symptoms cannot be relieved, you need to seek medical help as soon as possible.
