Preventive nursing care: the key to reshaping a healthy life

In modern society, with the accelerated pace of life and increased pressure, health issues have gradually become the focus of people's attention. The traditional medical model often focuses on the treatment of diseases, while ignoring the importance of prevention. However, with the transformation of the medical model, preventive care has gradually become a new health concept, aiming to improve people's health level and achieve the reshaping of healthy life through prevention, health care and rehabilitation.

1. What is an untreated disease?

Simply put, untreated diseases refer to those disease states that have not yet shown obvious symptoms, but have potential pathological changes. These diseases may develop into obvious diseases at some point in the future, or remain latent, but they may pose a potential threat to the health of individuals. Untreated diseases are usually caused by the combined effects of multiple factors such as genetics, environment, and lifestyle. For example, some genetic diseases may already exist when an individual is born, but the symptoms may not appear until adulthood. For another example, long-term bad living habits, such as smoking, alcoholism, and lack of exercise, may lead to various potential pathological changes in the body, and then develop into untreated diseases. The existence of untreated diseases poses a great hidden danger to the health of individuals. Since untreated diseases often have no obvious symptoms in the early stages, many patients may ignore their health conditions until the disease develops to a certain extent before realizing the seriousness of the problem. This may not only make the treatment of the disease more difficult, but also pose a serious threat to the patient's life.
