In a bustling city, Zhang Wei is a busy courier who travels the streets and alleys of the city every day to deliver the joy of online shopping to thousands of households.
Zhang Wei is 53 years old and has always been in strong health, except for the occasional stomach ache and fatigue, he has few health problems, or rather, he doesn't take these minor conditions to heart.
It is said that Zhang Wei has always felt uncomfortable in his stomach over the years, he is easy to be full when he eats something, and occasionally he will feel pain, but he always thinks that it is just because he does not eat on time, or he is too tired from work.
It wasn't until recently that the frequency and intensity of stomach pains had increased significantly, and even eating with food had lost its taste, which made him tempted to go to the hospital to find out.
After a series of tests, the results were shocking - Zhang Wei was diagnosed with stomach cancer. The doctor said that his disease had reached the middle and advanced stages, and if he had come for an early check-up, there would have been more hope for treatment.
When the family heard the news, they all collapsed, they never thought that Zhang Wei's seemingly ordinary small symptoms were such serious signs.
Here, I have to say about Zhang Wei's work. As a courier, he was exposed to the outside world for a long time, especially with irregular diet, which directly affected the health of the stomach. And his neglect of the body's tiny signals also exacerbated the development of the disease.
In addition, the high pressure and fast pace of the delivery industry made it difficult for him to have time for routine health check-ups, which indirectly contributed to the tragedy.
Now let's talk about the knowledge of stomach cancer, which is the core of Zhang Wei's tragedy. Gastric cancer is a common malignant tumor, which is difficult to detect in the early stage because the symptoms are not obvious, like Zhang Wei, many patients may only have slight discomfort in the early stage, or even ignore it.
In the early stage of stomach cancer, there may only be symptoms such as loss of appetite and slight pain, but as the disease progresses, the symptoms will worsen, such as significant pain, weight loss, difficulty swallowing, etc.
Therefore, for people who often experience these symptoms, it is recommended to have regular gastroscopy for early detection and treatment. Let's explore again, why was Zhang Wei's stomach pain ignored?
On the one hand, because people's general perception of stomach pain is still at the level of "eating a bad stomach", few people will associate it with stomach cancer.
On the other hand, Zhang Wei, as an ordinary courier, has been under pressure from his life and work, which makes him ignore these symptoms more and lack the awareness to go for in-depth examinations.
In addition, there is an interesting point: although Zhang Wei's job is to deliver couriers, did you know that the items in the courier package seem to have nothing to do with his health condition, but in fact, prolonged exposure to certain chemicals, such as plasticizers in packaging materials, may also affect an individual's health.
Although there is no conclusive research to support the direct link between this and gastric cancer, we have to consider various possibilities in a healthy environment.
Near the end, Zhang Wei was on the hospital bed, and when he faced the doctor, he couldn't help but ask a question: "Doctor, my stomach hurts, is it because I used to eat some random things from roadside stalls?"
The doctor looked at Zhang Wei seriously and explained softly: "Mr. Zhang Wei, although irregular eating habits do have some damage to the stomach, the formation of gastric cancer is usually related to a variety of factors, such as genetics, lifestyle habits, long-term stomach inflammation, etc. ”
"From your past medical history, you have had multiple episodes of mild inflammation in your stomach, which can be a warning. It is recommended that everyone pay attention to food hygiene in daily life, do regular health check-ups, and should not ignore any discomfort in the body. ”
Through this story, I hope that everyone can pay more attention to their health status, check and treat it in time, and don't wait until it is irretrievable.
