Uncle Wang, a carpenter who has been retired for many years, has been feeling a sore back recently, especially after getting up in the morning. He always thinks that this is a common problem of the elderly, but his son is very worried about his health, so he asks him to go to the community hospital to participate in a free blood pressure test.
At the community hospital, Uncle Wang not only had his blood pressure measured, but also underwent a full-body physical examination. The doctor noticed that his blood pressure was slightly high, but was more concerned about his backache.
The doctor told him that back pain is not the inevitable fate of the elderly, especially for men, there are some signs that need special attention.
The doctor said to Uncle Wang lightly: "After getting up, I often have back pain? After the age of 65, men should pay attention to the four types of signals in their bodies, and don't take it seriously." ”
The doctor mentioned the following four signals, and Uncle Wang listened to them with relish:
Frequent and urgent urination: Doctors explain that frequent frequent urination urgency can be a manifestation of prostate problems, which are common in men. If this happens, you should seek medical attention promptly.
Decreased erectile function: The doctor candidly told Uncle Wang that the decline in erectile function could be a precursor to sexual dysfunction, which may also be related to cardiovascular health. Although Uncle Wang felt a little embarrassed, he also understood the importance.
Increased risk of fractures: Doctors emphasize that older men have decreased bone density and are prone to fractures. Back pain can also be a sign of decreased bone density, and regular exercise is recommended to improve bone density.
Sleep problems: Doctors told Uncle Wang that insomnia and other sleep problems may also be related to health, especially cardiovascular health. Insomnia can worsen the symptoms of back pain.
The doctor's advice made Uncle Wang start to pay attention to his physical health. He decided to go for walks and exercise every day, improve his diet and Xi habits, increase his intake of some foods that are good for his prostate and bone density, and have regular check-ups.
As time passed, Uncle Wang's back pain gradually lessened, and his physical condition also improved.
He understands the importance of health signals and no longer sees back pain as the inevitable fate of the elderly.
