"This butt is itchy, it's unbearable!" Zhang Wei writhed in his office chair as he scratched the bottom of his back, trying to find a position that made him a little more comfortable.
Zhang Wei, an ordinary accountant, in addition to facing a mountain of ledgers and statements every day, now has to fight against this sudden itchy butt.
Seven years ago, when this itching sensation first appeared, Zhang Wei thought it was just ordinary hemorrhoids, after all, sitting at work for long hours and occasionally working overtime late at night was a kind of occupational disease in his opinion.
So, he bought some hemorrhoid cream at the pharmacy casually, comforting himself and thinking that he would be fine in a few days. But who knows, the itching sensation on the buttocks not only did not reduce, but became more and more serious, until one day seven years later, the itch made him almost uneasy, and finally decided to go to the hospital to see.
When I arrived at the hospital, after a series of examinations, the doctor recommended a colonoscopy. When the results came out, the doctor sighed, "It's too late, it's rectal cancer." When Zhang Wei heard this, he couldn't believe his ears, he thought he was just hemorrhoids, how could it be cancer?
Now let's insert an interesting point: many people think that sitting and working for long periods of time will only cause hemorrhoids, but in fact, it can also be a hidden cause of rectal cancer.
At first glance, this point of view seems to be a bit similar to that of chickens that grew up eating hormone eggs, and it seems that they can't be beaten, but in fact they are very close.
Staying in the same position for a long time, especially sitting, can lead to poor blood circulation in the pelvis, which may not only induce hemorrhoids in the long run, but also increase chronic inflammation in the rectum area, which in turn increases the risk of rectal cancer.
The truth in this is that if you wear a pair of shoes that are one size smaller to run a marathon, the toes will definitely not be able to stand it first.
Back to Zhang Wei, his initial reaction was a typical "major illness is treated slightly, and minor illness is not treated". Faced with his own itchy butt, he chose patience and self-soothing instead of actively seeking medical attention.
This is not just Zhang Wei's personal problem, in fact, it reflects a common phenomenon: many people turn a blind eye to the abnormal signals of their bodies, always thinking that those minor problems will get better on their own, until the problem becomes bigger and more serious.
Now, Zhang Wei is facing not only the pain of treating cancer, but also a huge psychological blow. He couldn't understand why he had such a result when he was working hard and living hard every day.
Through the story of Zhang Wei's examples, we can't help but think deeply, how many "Zhang Wei" in life have caused big problems because they ignore the small signals of the body?
Many people often ignore some small problems in their bodies because of their busy life and work.
Just like those who feel that 24 hours a day are not enough, and continue to fight on the front line of work, they are often negligent in health management. They use their busyness to excuse their inaction, and they regret it until the problem is too serious to avoid.
Effect of high salt intake in the daily diet on rectal cancer. Oops, don't be in a hurry to roll your eyes and say, "What does this have to do with an itchy butt?" Let's take our time.
First of all, we have to understand that a high-salt diet is the main culprit of many diseases such as high blood pressure and heart disease, and everyone knows this, right?
But what you may not know is that a high-salt diet may also increase the risk of rectal cancer. It doesn't sound like a surprise, but it's true, and the data and research have proven it.
Going back to Zhang Wei's story, although there is no direct mention of his eating habits, we can speculate that as an ordinary office worker, staying up late overtime, takeaway and fast food may be the norm of his diet, and these are often representatives of high salt.
So, it's also a reminder that a healthy lifestyle isn't just about physical activity, it's just as important to eat right.
Finally, during the treatment of Zhang Wei, there was a question that kept bothering him: "Doctor, what is the problem with my rectal cancer? I have never paid much attention to my diet before, is this directly related to my disease?"
The doctor used the medical records he had seen before to answer Zhang Wei: "Zhang Wei, according to your medical records and the latest research, long-term bad eating habits, especially a high-salt diet, do increase the risk of rectal cancer.
So, from now on, changing your eating habits to eat less salty and more vegetables and fruits will help you a lot in your recovery and prevent the recurrence of the disease. ”
Zhang Wei listened, although his heart was a little heavy, but he also understood a lot.
