Girls are such a magical species.
The amount of food can be large or small:
On a first date, this can't be eaten, and that can't be eaten;
The Nth date, this one again, that one more...
The temperature system is confusing:
At home, fully armed, autumn clothes tucked into autumn pants, autumn pants into socks.
Go out, the upper body hat scarf down jacket, the lower body only wear a pair of pants can go around the world.
Good and bad eyesight:
At home, facing a cabinet of clothes as if blind, "I have no clothes to wear."
In the mall, in the face of two similar styles of clothes, the eyes are unusually sharp, often only a glance can find three differences, "different lace, different fabrics, different accessories ..."
Of course, the above is all jokes, but girls are indeed more likely to have some small problems in the body, such as inexplicable bruises on the thighs or arms, cold hands and feet, how to cover the heat, and headaches at every turn.
So are these little problems really diseases? What can we do to face these problems?
1. Green when you touch it
There were often inexplicable bruises on the limbs, and I couldn't remember when I had bumped them.
This condition, which is prone to ecchymosis, is clinically more common in women. The reason is actually related to the congenital constitution and family genetics, and there is no major problem, simply because the subcutaneous capillaries are relatively fragile, even if they are not easily detected, they will be damaged and cause blood to overflow, so they leave blue-purple ecchymoses on the skin.
Most people don't need to be particularly nervous about this situation, as long as the ecchymosis will naturally subside and will not affect health. In daily life, as long as you pay attention to reducing bumps, pay attention to vitamin C and K supplementation.
Be careful if you have the following symptoms:
1. Frequent bruises occur in a short period of time, and the area of bruises gradually becomes larger and slower.
2. Bleeding gums, nosebleeds, blood in the stool (blackened stools), excessive menstruation or gastrointestinal bleeding.
3. Symptoms such as ecchymosis and fever, joint pain, skin itching, abdominal pain and other symptoms on the body.
The above conditions need to be treated in the hospital in time, and the appearance of ecchymosis is likely to be related to the body's coagulation function and heredity; long-term use of drugs to prevent blood clots, such as aspirin, warfarin, etc., also has the risk of increasing bleeding and causing ecchymosis.
2. Cold hands and feet
Hands and feet are cold enough to doubt life.
Cold hands and feet are mostly in low temperature environments, and it is not only girls who have cold hands and feet.
When the human body is in a low temperature environment, the blood vessels in the hands and feet at the end of the body contract cold, thereby reducing blood flow to reduce the body's heat loss. At this time, the blood of the human body will be preferentially supplied to important parts such as the brain, internal organs, and trunk to keep warm. Reduced blood flow, coupled with the fact that the ends of the limbs are more prone to heat loss, naturally the hands and feet are more likely to become cold.
However, due to differences in metabolic levels, girls are more sensitive to low temperatures than boys, and they are more likely to have cold hands and feet.
If you are malnourished, eat insufficiently, and have insufficient raw materials for the body to produce calories, it will aggravate the symptoms of cold hands and feet.
If you are fully fed, warm, in normal shape, but still cold hands and feet, you may have the following health risks:
1. Anemia, hemoglobin and red blood cells are low, and it is more likely to have poor blood circulation in the fingertip part.
2. Cardiac insufficiency: Due to heart weakness, the ability to pump blood is weakened, and it is impossible to make blood flow to the ends of the limbs.
3. Neurological dysfunction: due to autonomic dysfunction, blood vessels become thinner, resulting in poor peripheral blood circulation and disorders of thermoregulation mechanism.
4. Hypothyroidism: Due to insufficient secretion of thyroid hormones, the basal metabolic rate decreases, and the body's thermogenesis capacity is significantly reduced, so the ends of the hands and feet are cold.
In fact, the headache is also a headache for doctors, the pathogenesis is not clear, the treatment method is limited, and it is often easy to recur.
But one thing worth noting is that headaches, insomnia, depression and anxiety often appear "bundled", and these problems can lead to a series of health problems. Therefore, in the face of headaches, we should pay more attention to physical and mental health and maintain an optimistic and positive attitude.
In life, headache patients should ensure the regularity of life and rest, should not overwork, relax emotions, avoid excessive tension, and maintain appropriate exercise habits. Diet should be light, while avoiding excessive tyrosine intake, such as cheese (such foods may induce headaches), it is best not to drink alcohol.
