Xiao Ming, he is usually very arrogant, and he doesn't pay much attention to anything, especially his body.
One day, Xiao Ming suddenly felt that something was wrong with his stomach, and he always had a dull pain. He didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that maybe it was just a bad stomach. In this way, it dragged on for many months, until one day the pain was so unbearable that I went to the hospital.
As soon as the test results came back, the doctor told him that he had chronic atrophic gastritis, which could develop into stomach cancer if left untreated. When Xiao Ming heard this, the whole person was stupid.
Actually, cancer doesn't come suddenly, and many times, it starts with a minor illness. Therefore, I would like to advise everyone: the body must pay attention to these minor diseases, such as atrophic gastritis, intestinal polyps, liver cirrhosis, and breast dysplasia, which are all precancerous lesions, don't take them lightly!
Xiao Ming regrets that his intestines are blue now, but what can he do? So, friends, you must take care of your body, don't wait until something happens to regret it. What happened to Xiao Ming? Let's talk about it later, so stay tuned!
01
Our body does have some minor ailments that need attention. If left untreated, these conditions can develop into precancerous lesions or even lead to cancer. Therefore, we need to be vigilant at all times to detect and deal with these physical problems in a timely manner.
First of all, oral leukoplakia is a common oral disease. It usually appears as white patches or spots on the oral mucosa that may gradually enlarge and thicken. Although oral leukoplakia is not necessarily cancer, it has the potential to develop into a precancerous lesion of oral cancer. Therefore, once oral leukoplakia is found, we should seek medical attention in time and receive professional examination and treatment.
Secondly, esophageal leukoplakia is also a disease that needs to be paid attention to. It is a white plaque-like change that forms as a result of hyperkeratosis of the esophageal mucosa. Esophageal leukoplakia is a precancerous lesion when there is pathological dyskeratosis and dysplastic changes.
Although the malignant rate of esophageal leukoplakia is not high, if there are symptoms such as rapid enlargement, thickening, rough surface, ulceration, cracking, and induration, further examination is required to rule out the possibility of cancer.
In addition to diseases of the mouth and esophagus, chronic atrophic gastritis is also a common stomach disease. It is a type of chronic gastritis that is manifested by atrophy of the intrinsic glands of the gastric mucosa and intestinal metaplasia.
The World Health Organization classifies chronic atrophic gastritis as a precancerous condition of gastric cancer. When chronic atrophic gastritis is accompanied by dysplasia or incomplete intestinal metaplasia, the risk of carcinogenesis is significantly increased.
Therefore, for patients with chronic atrophic gastritis, regular gastroscopy is very necessary.
Stomach ulcers are also a stomach condition that requires vigilance. Although most gastric ulcers are benign diseases, if not treated properly or recurring, they may lead to dysplasia, which can develop into precancerous lesions.
Therefore, patients with gastric ulcers need to strictly follow the doctor's instructions during the treatment process, and have regular re-examinations and follow-ups.
In addition, intestinal polyps are also a common intestinal disease. Intestinal polyps can be divided into two categories: benign and neoplastic, with adenomatous polyps being precancerous.
If intestinal polyps are numerous, large in diameter, or grow rapidly, they need to be removed promptly to prevent them from becoming cancerous.
Finally, fatty liver is also a disease that needs to be taken seriously. Fatty liver disease in the early stages can be reversed with aggressive treatment, but if left unchecked, it can increase the risk of cancers such as liver cancer.
The incidence of liver cancer and cirrhosis in fatty liver patients is much higher than that in healthy people. Therefore, patients with fatty liver disease need to actively change their bad lifestyle habits and have regular physical examinations and follow-ups.
Don't worry too much about minor ailments
Some diseases sound scary, but they don't really need to be overly worried. For example, hepatic hemangioma is a common benign tumor of the liver and does not require treatment in most cases.
Sinus arrhythmia is a heart rhythm disorder that in most cases does not require specific treatment.
Premature heart beats are the early beats of the heart when it is beating normally, and generally does not cause serious effects on physical health.
Uterine fibroids are common benign tumors in women, and if they do not cause symptoms, they can be observed regularly without the need for immediate treatment.
