Li Na is a veteran designer who has worked in advertising agencies for more than ten years, usually busy with work and a hectic pace of life, she is used to working overtime until late at night, eating irregularly, often eating takeout and fast food, and smoking like a life, until recently her body began to sound the alarm.
Li Na had to run to the toilet three times a day for a week, and there was blood in the stool, at first she thought it was hemorrhoids, bought some ointment to apply, but the symptoms did not improve, under the repeated persuasion of her colleagues, Li Na finally decided to go to the hospital for examination.
Dr. Wang from the Department of Gastroenterology received Li Na, and after listening to her description of her symptoms, Dr. Wang frowned: "Your condition sounds a bit serious, I suggest you get a colonoscopy as soon as possible to rule out other possibilities." "
Li Na was a little unimpressed: "Isn't the doctor just hemorrhoids? It must be that I have been too tired from working overtime recently, and I should get better soon if I apply some ointment," hemorrhoids usually do not cause frequent bleeding every day," Dr. Wang patiently explained, "And your age has also reached a high incidence period, and you can better deal with the problem if you detect it early, believe me to go for a check-up." "
At the doctor's suggestion, Li Na underwent a colonoscopy, and when she sat down opposite Dr. Wang again, Dr. Wang's expression was much more solemn: "Ms. Li, unfortunately, the examination results show that you have a tumor in your rectum, and the preliminary diagnosis is rectal cancer, and we still need to do further examinations to determine the stage and metastasis, and formulate a treatment plan as soon as possible." "
The news was like a bolt from the blue, Li Na was instantly stunned, and she asked in disbelief: "How can it be cancer? I have always been in good health, and I have never been seriously ill." "
"There are many reasons for the occurrence of cancer," Dr. Wong sighed, "an unhealthy lifestyle is an important factor, you stay up late, eat fast food, smoke for a long time, these will increase the risk of cancer, plus your age is also at a high rate, so a combination of factors leads to the occurrence of cancer." "
"I really regret that I didn't pay attention to the signals sent by my body earlier," Li Na muttered to herself, "If I had gone for a check-up earlier, wouldn't it have become like this?"
"While timely diagnosis is important, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is even more important," reassures Dr. Wang, "Many cancers are closely related to poor lifestyles, and even if you are diagnosed with cancer, there is still a great hope of overcoming the disease by breaking those bad habits and cooperating with treatment." "
Li Na's story is a wake-up call for many people, who think that they are still young and in good health, so they take health problems lightly, but they do not know that the seeds of disease may have quietly sprouted in the body, and we must not turn a blind eye when the body frequently sends out distress signals.
The pace of life of modern people is getting faster and faster, the pressure of work is getting bigger and bigger, and unhealthy lifestyles have become the norm: sleeping late, sedentary, overeating, smoking and drinking, but we don't know that these seemingly "commonplace" behaviors are slowly emptying our "health savings".
Taking staying up late as an example, many people often sacrifice sleep time for work or entertainment, but lack of sleep will bring a series of health problems: decreased immunity, endocrine disorders, increased risk of cardiovascular disease, and long-term lack of sleep is tantamount to "overdraft" for your body.
The fast-paced life makes it difficult for us to eat regularly and quantitatively, and high-salt, high-fat, and high-sugar foods have become frequent guests at the table, which will increase the risk of chronic diseases such as obesity, hypertension, and diabetes, and even induce some cancers.
There is also physical exercise, many people often exclude it from their schedule because they are busy, sedentary life will lead to muscle atrophy, osteoporosis, and increase the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, diabetes, etc., moderate exercise can not only prevent chronic diseases, but also relax the mood and improve the quality of life.
As for smoking and alcoholism, they have long been characterized as the "number one killer" of health, smoking will greatly increase the risk of lung cancer, oral cancer and other cancers, alcoholism will damage the liver, induce a variety of diseases, quitting smoking and limiting alcohol, is everyone's health obligation.
As a chronic disease with high incidence and high mortality, cancer has become the "number one enemy" of modern people's health, according to statistics, there are nearly 4 million new cancer cases and more than 2 million deaths in mainland China every year, and many of these cases are closely related to unhealthy lifestyles.
Taking colorectal cancer as an example, epidemiological studies have shown that high-fat, low-fiber diets, sedentary lifestyles due to lack of exercise, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, etc., are all risk factors for colorectal cancer, and these bad lifestyle habits can lead to intestinal flora imbalance, chronic inflammation, genetic mutations and other problems, and eventually lead to cancer.
Therefore, the key to preventing colorectal cancer is to start with the details of life and develop a healthy lifestyle:
1. Eat a light diet, eat more vegetables and fruits, eat less high-fat, high-calorie food, dietary fiber helps maintain intestinal health and prevent colorectal cancer.
2. Moderate exercise, at least half an hour of moderate-intensity exercise every day, reduce sedentary time, exercise can promote intestinal peristalsis and accelerate the discharge of harmful substances.
3. Quit smoking and limit alcohol, smoking and excessive alcohol consumption are "accomplices" of cancer, nicotine and alcohol can damage the intestinal mucosa and increase the risk of cancer.
4. Regular screening, especially for people over 40 years old, should take the initiative to do colonoscopy and other cancer screening, early diagnosis and early treatment are the key to improving cancer survival.
