In a small and quiet city, there is an ordinary office worker named Liu Jun. Liu Jun is an office clerk who is busy in front of the computer every day, and his work life is full and regular.
Recently, however, he noticed that his gums were bleeding all the time, accompanied by faint bleeding when brushing his teeth or eating.
This problem has bothered Liu Jun for a long time, and he even mistakenly thought that it was caused by his body "catching fire".
So I took a large number of Chinese medicine and health products to clear the fire, but the situation did not improve. Liu Jun decided to go to the hospital for a consultation.
He participated in a free blood pressure test in the community because his friends told him that the abnormal blood pressure could be related to bleeding gums. At the hospital, he met an amiable doctor named Dr. Chen.
Dr. Chen first carefully examined Liu Jun's gum problem and asked him about his lifestyle Xi and Xi dietary habits.
Then, Dr. Chen made an unexpected diagnosis when he told Liu Jun, "Mr. Liu, your total bleeding gums may not be caused by fire, but a sign of 4 underlying diseases. ”
Liu Jun was very surprised, he never thought that his gum problem could be related to other diseases. Dr Chan went on to explain this view in detail and provided a wealth of data and research to support it.
Gingivitis: Dr Chan points out that the most common cause is gingivitis. While brushing your teeth may cause slight bleeding, if your gums are bleeding all the time, it can be a symptom of chronic gingivitis.
Scurvy: There is also a rare but serious condition called scurvy, which causes bleeding gums. Dr Chan reminded Liu Jun that it is very important to treat scurvy in a timely manner as it can cause serious bleeding problems.
Vitamin C Deficiency: Dr Chan also says that bleeding gums can sometimes be a sign of vitamin C deficiency. People who don't eat fresh fruits and vegetables are more likely to have this condition.
Diabetes: Finally, Dr Chan made an important point that bleeding gums can also be an early symptom of diabetes. He highlighted the close relationship between diabetes and oral health and suggested that Liu Jun undergo a more comprehensive physical examination.
Liu Jun was so shocked that he decided to take immediate action by first going to the dentist to check and treat gum problems, and also planned a comprehensive health check-up to rule out potential health risks.
Finally, a seemingly unrelated question came to Liu's mind: Do we often ignore the signals sent by our bodies?
Bleeding gums can be an early sign of a more serious health problem, should we pay more attention to oral health and the link between it and whole-body health?
This question may raise awareness of health and encourage people to take early action to maintain their health and well-being.
