What are the pain points on men? Six types of diseases that men are more prone to than women
Men have always been considered strong, surpassing women in terms of physical strength and health. But male friends also have weaknesses, and in some cases they are not as good as women and are more likely to suffer from certain diseases than women. Let's take a look together, what are the weaknesses of men and what diseases are they more likely to suffer from?
The Five Weaknesses of Men
The first weakness is the "prostate".
According to relevant research, about 60% of men after the age of 50 suffer from prostate disease. The reason is that changes in the secretion of male hormones and steroids cause enlargement of the glands around the urethra. The enlarged prostate is compressed into a flat shape, which compresses the bladder and causes difficulty urinating. Prostate problems are easily overlooked, and if you feel any discomfort, you should go to the hospital for examination and timely treatment to avoid worsening the condition.
The second weakness is the 'heart'. In some Western countries, people refer to cardiovascular disease as a "male disease", with 80% of cardiovascular diseases occurring in men. Middle aged men between the ages of 45 and 60 are at high risk for myocardial infarction. Clinical statistics indicate that the number of men admitted for treatment for myocardial infarction is 7-10 times higher than that of women.
The third weakness is the "stomach". Men enjoy drinking, smoking, and drinking coffee. They wolf down their food at the table, and they often overeat. However, when men express themselves to the fullest, their stomachs are filled with protests; Stomachache, vomiting, hematemesis, belching... Medical research has found that the incidence rate of gastric diseases in men is 6.2 times higher than that in women on average.
Fourth weakness: "liver". Among patients with chronic hepatitis, males are four times more likely than females. The main reason is alcohol consumption. The liver can only decompose and convert up to 60-80 alcohol per day, exceeding this amount can harm the liver. In addition, high fat foods are also very detrimental to the liver.
Fifth weakness: "rectum". There are significantly more males than females with rectal cancer. Men generally consume more fat and protein than women. Medical studies have shown that consuming too much fat and protein while lacking sufficient fiber foods is an important cause of rectal cancer.
Six types of diseases that men are more prone to than women
Stomach disease: Men like smoking and drinking, gobbling or overeating at the table. Therefore, the incidence rate of stomach disease in men is 6.2 times higher than that in women on average.
Myocardial infarction: Men are more stressed at work than women, and the pressure they face is greater. Therefore, the proportion of men admitted to hospitals for myocardial infarction is 7-10 times higher than women. Therefore, to prevent heart disease, in addition to quitting smoking and controlling alcohol consumption, it is also necessary to maintain a normal weight and learn to reduce stress.
Melanoma: A considerable number of men do not pay attention to sun protection and do not pay attention to skin cancer testing. Therefore, men are twice as likely to die from melanoma as women.
Liver disease: Men socialize frequently and are prone to contracting various hepatitis viruses. In addition, most of them drink alcohol, and the liver can only decompose and convert up to 60-80 grams of alcohol per day. Exceeding this amount can lead to liver damage.
Rectal cancer: Men generally consume more fat and protein foods than women, and scientific research has shown that consuming too much fat and protein is an important cause of rectal cancer. Therefore, in order to prevent rectal diseases, it is important to regularly have vegetables, fruits, and other foods rich in fiber on the dining table.
Prostate: According to relevant research, 60% of men over 50 years old suffer from prostate disease. To prevent this disease, one should avoid long-term pressure on the prostate, control sexual activity, and eat less spicy food.
Kind reminder: Male friends rely on their good physical fitness, but they are often not as attentive as female friends in terms of physical health, which makes them more prone to developing some diseases than women. In fact, as long as they pay attention in daily life, they can avoid weaknesses and stay away from these diseases.
