"The May Day holiday is coming, do you feel that you are in a particularly good mood these days?" At the May Day tea party organized by the community, Zheng Dawei, a drummer of the band, opened today's topic with his usual humor.
As soon as the words fell, the surrounding neighbors responded one after another, and the atmosphere became warm for a while. As laughter and conversation heats up, the conversation naturally turns to the topic that everyone cares about – health.
Zheng Dawei struck while the iron was hot and mentioned his neighbor, Lao Wang. Lao Wang is a typical northern uncle, 1.8 meters tall, full of silver hair, and a bold personality, but for nearly a year, he has been suffering from abdominal distention.
Although this may sound like a minor problem, for Lao Wang, every day is like fighting against a balloon that never fades.
"No, Lao Wang's matter is really a headache. Zheng Dawei went on to say that Lao Wang went to the hospital to do a lot of gastroscopy repeatedly for this stomach.
The doctors said it was fine, everything was fine. But Lao Wang's bloating was not good at all, as if there was a non-stop blowing machine in his body, and it was getting worse and worse.
One day a month later, Lao Wang suddenly collapsed and never woke up.
This is undoubtedly a huge blow to his family. Especially his children, until now, they can't accept this sudden change, they always feel that something is not right, and they feel that Lao Wang "can't turn a blind eye".
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Seeing this, Zheng Dawei changed the atmosphere of the topic: "Speaking of which, we all know that a bloated stomach can be a small thing or a big thing, and the key is to figure out the reason behind it." ”
He went on to explain that Lao Wang's situation is actually not uncommon. Bloating can be due to indigestion, an imbalance in the intestinal flora, or even an underlying serious health problem such as an intestinal obstruction or tumor.
In Wang's case, although multiple gastroscopies showed normal, it did not mean that there were no problems with other parts of the digestive system.
Next, Zheng Dawei quoted the doctor's words to explain how to make a diagnosis in a situation like Lao Wang's.
First, in addition to gastroscopy, a CT scan, abdominal ultrasound, or even a capsule endoscopy may be required for a comprehensive examination.
Second, your doctor may recommend functional tests, such as a lactose tolerance test, to check for food intolerance.
In addition, Cheng also talked about ways to prevent bloating, emphasizing the importance of eating properly and maintaining gut health.
A sensible diet can not only help improve digestion, but also optimize the intestinal flora and reduce the occurrence of bloating.
He also mentioned that regular medical check-ups, especially for adults over 50 years old, should pay more attention to every signal in the body.
As the topic deepens, people begin to pay more attention to their eating habits and health signals that may be overlooked in their daily lives.
Zheng Dawei's narration not only increased everyone's understanding of health, but also made everyone realize that some details of daily life may be closely related to health.
Finally, when the tea party was coming to an end, Cheng concluded that while we cannot completely control all health problems, the risk of serious health problems can be significantly reduced through proper prevention and timely medical check-ups.
He asks the question: "We often say that 'a small illness becomes a major illness if left untreated', so how can we pay more effective attention to the small symptoms that are often overlooked in our daily lives to avoid possible serious health problems?"
In response to this problem, Zheng Dawei analyzed in detail how to carefully observe and process health signals in daily life.
He stresses that any unusual physical changes, such as persistent bloating, sudden changes in weight, or chronic indigestion, should not be ignored.
Reporting these symptoms to your doctor and getting tested accordingly is the key to avoiding worsening of the disease. In this way, everyone can take responsibility for their own health and identify and address potential health problems in a timely manner.
