"As long as I don't read the physical examination report, my health will be fine." It seems like a joke, but it also reflects the attitude of most people towards physical examinations. Hypertension , diabetic , nodules , lumps... Contemporary people have found too many problems through physical examinations.
But don’t “scared to talk about physical examination reports”. In fact, there are several common abnormalities in the report, so there are no need to worry at all.
1. Breast hyperplasia ≠ Breast cancer , most of which are benign
breast hyperplasia, most of which are benign and will not become cancerous, so don’t worry too much.
In adolescent women, breast swelling and pain, shoulder and back pain may occur before menstruation. After menstruation, breast pain gradually relieves itself, and only can be touched to breast have some thickening. These are physiological changes and do not require treatment.
However, there are also a few women who have the possibility of malignancy, so they need to undergo regular reviews. It is recommended to check every 3 to 6 months. ( Tencent Medical Dictionary )
Which situation needs special attention?
If there is a lump in the breast, it will be poorly motile, hard and unable to push; the boundaries are unclear and stick to the surrounding tissues. Moreover, as the lump grows, the lump becomes hollow; the lymph nodes in the axilla are swollen and , etc., and you need to go to the hospital for examination in time.
2. Thyroid nodules ≠ Thyroid cancer , most of which are benign
thyroid nodules, which are lumps growing in the throat. When the patient eats and drinks water, the lump will move up and down with the swallowing movement. Most of the time, there are no symptoms and will not affect thyroid function. Generally, thyroid nodules below 1 cm will not become thyroid cancer [1].
However, because the possibility of thyroid nodules is low, some people may experience symptoms of sore throat and discomfort, which may worsen (in 5%, or even below 1%).
These need to be taken seriously. According to the doctor's recommendation, we will go to the hospital for examination regularly for 3 months, 6 months or one year. If it is a benign nodule, it can be treated with drugs. If it is a malignant, surgical resection is required.
3. Occasional sting of the heart ≠ heart disease
Occasional sting of the heart disappears after a few seconds. It is usually not caused by heart disease, but may be discomfort in the muscles, nerves, or skin in the chest.
If you are a young person and have always been healthy, and occasionally have "transient" stings, it may be related to overwork, staying up late, strenuous exercise, angry, nervous, frightened, etc. You need to relax and develop good work and rest habits.
If the patient is older and has other underlying diseases in the body, and the heart is occasionally stinging, it is recommended to go to the hospital to find out the cause.
4. Sinus arrhythmia is not a disease
Sinus arrhythmia means that the rhythm of the heartbeat is not exactly the same. For example, factors such as nervousness, frightening, staying up late, overworking may affect the rhythm of the heartbeat, which is a normal phenomenon and there is no need for treatment.
5. Polyps are found, and a timely review of
Polyps are found during physical examinations, such as polyps in the intestine, stomach, polyps in the uterine ovary, gallbladder polyps , etc., everyone will definitely worry, because polyps have the possibility of malignant changes. Although the cancer may be small, you cannot leave it alone.
Everyone should conduct a review according to the doctor's advice, or determine whether it is to be removed based on the location and size of the polyp growing.
Note: Doctors generally recommend removal of polyps in the intestines in time, because it is difficult to accurately judge the nature of them, and keeping them is a disaster.
6. Platelet value,
blood routine examination, there is a platelet value in . This test is very important, because the increase or decrease of platelet is not a good thing, and may indicate a certain disease.
platelet value is relatively low, and there may be symptoms such as aplastic anemia , acute leukemia , upper respiratory tract infection , etc.
platelet value is relatively high, and there may be myeloproliferative diseases.
In short, if you find that some values in regular of these blood are low and high, you should ask the doctor in time and do some tests according to their suggestions.
7. These values are high. Pay attention to diet, total cholesterol, increased triglyceride, increased uric acid, high blood pressure, etc., and pay attention to diet according to the doctor's advice, quit smoking and drinking, and check regularly.
If you have mild to moderate fatty liver (too much fat accumulation in the liver), you should also pay attention to your diet to reduce weight and waist circumference in time and review it regularly.
There is a lot of valuable information in the physical examination report. If you don’t pay attention to the points you should pay attention to, then the annual physical examination will be in vain.
In addition, some diseases cannot be detected by ordinary physical examination items. If you feel uncomfortable in that area of your body, you can add one or several examinations to avoid physical examinations every year, but you miss a serious illness.
