26-year-old Xiao Li is a programmer who has just started working. He is a low-key person, living a simple life, and likes to stay at home and play games in his spare time.
Xiao Li thinks that he is healthy, never smokes or drinks, has a clean private life, and works and rests on time, which can be described as a standard "three good youth".
But things are impermanent, and a few months ago, Xiao Li found that his right scrotum was painlessly swollen. At first, he didn't care, thinking that it was caused by being too tired from working overtime recently and not getting enough sleep.
But gradually, it began to harden and touch like a stone. Xiao Li hurriedly went to the hospital.
The doctor conducted a comprehensive examination for Xiao Li, from blood tests to B-ultrasound CT to biopsy, and a shocking diagnosis surfaced - testicular cancer.
"How can it be cancer? I am young and have a good lifestyle style, how can I get cancer?" Xiao Li could not accept this fact.
The doctor sighed and said, "Xiao Li, you may have some misunderstandings about testicular cancer. It is not directly related to the style of life, but to some bad habits.
You're a programmer, you need to sit for more than 10 hours a day, right? You often stay up all night and have an irregular schedule?"
Xiao Li nodded: "I thought I was young, and it was okay to stay up late occasionally." Besides, the nature of my job meant that I had to sit for long periods of time. "
"But it's these habits that hurt your testicular health. "Sitting for long periods of time can cause blood return to the pelvis to be blocked, and the local blood supply to the testicles is insufficient.
Coupled with lack of sleep, weakened immunity, and a greatly increased risk of cancer. Do you often keep your laptop on your lap?"
"Yes, I do this a lot, I feel more comfortable typing on the keyboard in my legs. "
"Herein lies the problem. "Laptops generate a lot of heat, which in the long term will cause the local temperature of the testicles to rise, affect the development and maturation of sperm, and induce cancer." Also, do you have any exercises, like jogging, swimming?"
Xiao Li shook his head embarrassedly: "Very little, I have always stayed at home and don't like sports." "
The doctor said helplessly: "Exercise can promote blood circulation in the testicles, improve immunity, and prevent cancer." You are 'sedentary' all day long, which is tantamount to putting your testicles in a 'hotbed' state. It is not surprising that all kinds of undesirable factors are superimposed, and it becomes cancerous. "
At this time, Xiao Li's mother couldn't cry: "Doctor, he is still so young, how will he live in the future? I have long advised him not to stay up late and not to put the computer on his lap, but where is he willing to listen......
The doctor comforted: "Auntie, don't worry, testicular cancer is the best prognosis among male genital cancers.
The key is to get rid of those bad habits in the future, exercise more, go to bed early and get up early, and stay away from carcinogenic factors. "
Xiao Li held his mother's hand and said firmly, "Mom, I'm sorry for worrying you." I will definitely listen to the doctor's advice, treat it well, and get rid of the bad problems. When I recover, we will be able to live happily as before. "
After several months of treatment, Xiao Li's condition gradually improved. Now he is no longer an "otaku", but diligent in exercising, loving life, and cherishing everyone around him......
Xiao Li's story has sounded the alarm for countless young people like him: Who said that cancer only targets middle-aged and elderly people? Now, more and more cancers are quietly descending on young people, and testicular cancer is one of them.
What's even more frightening is that in recent years, testicular cancer is developing at a younger age, and the proportion of patients under the age of 20 has increased significantly.
Many people know little about testicular cancer and always think that it is a "geriatric disease" and has nothing to do with them.
As everyone knows, an unhealthy lifestyle is threatening our testicular health all the time. Sitting for a long time, lying down for a long time, holding urine, cold, trauma, improper diet, etc., may induce testicular cancer.
The key to preventing testicular cancer is to stay away from these risk factors and develop healthy lifestyle habits:
1. Avoid sedentary lifestyle, get up and move for 5 minutes every 1 hour of work to promote blood circulation in the testicles.
2. Stick to moderate exercise, such as jogging, swimming, cycling, etc.
3. Avoid wearing tight underwear to avoid compressing the testicles and affecting blood circulation.
4. Learn to self-examine and palpate the testicles at least once a month. If you notice a painless testicular mass, seek medical attention.
In addition to this, there are other possible carcinogenic factors to look out for. Studies have found that cryptorchidism, family history, HIV infection, etc., may increase the risk of testicular cancer.
Write at the end
Xiao Li's misfortune lies in carelessness, and luck lies in timely detection and active treatment. But we don't have to wait until we "make amends" before we start paying attention to testicular health.
It is wise for everyone to take care of their "liferoots" with practical actions from now on, and stay away from the shadow of testicular cancer.
Life is only once, and youth is fleeting. Let's learn from Xiao Li's experience and use a healthy lifestyle to build a healthy life from now on.
