"Doctor, please don't remove my husband's spleen . If one organ is missing, how can you survive?" Aunt Zhang said while crying. However, she was unwilling to sign the consent form for the operation because the operation required the removal of her husband's spleen .
Doctor explained to Aunt Zhang: "Because your husband had ruptured the spleen in the car accident, and it is now life-threatening if he is not removed in time."
"But without spleen , I'm worried that he will die." Aunt Zhang's tears kept flowing.
"Don't worry! After removing , spleen , people can still live well. It's important to save their lives first." Aunt Zhang heard the doctor say this, and finally signed the surgery consent form.
The reason why Aunt Zhang resisted removing spleen is because she was worried that her husband's body would be in danger of life after one internal organ is missing. After hearing the doctor's explanation, she became confused. Is the spleen a useless organ?
You should know that the human body has many organs, and each major organ performs its own duties and maintains physical health. In order to help the patient save his life, five organs, including the spleen, may also face the risk of being removed in order to help the patient save his life.
Are these organs useless? Is it true that people won’t die after cutting it? So what changes will happen to the body after cutting off these organs?
1. What organs are there in the human body? Which organs are useless?
The human body is a huge system, in which the number of organs alone contains 8. These include eyes, ears, nose, mouth, tongue, heart, lung, liver, spleen, stomach, intestine, bladder, urethra , ureteral , etc.
These organs are composed of tissues, and organs form systems. We can divide the uses of organs into sensation, taste, hearing, breathing, digestion, circulation, urinary and other organs; according to the system, it can be divided into 8 major systems such as movement, digestion, respiration, reproduction, urinary, endocrine, circulation, and nerve .
Every organ in the body has its own functions. Only by coordinating and cooperating in the human body can complex life activities be maintained normally.
For example, The mouth, throat, esophagus, stomach, intestine, anus, liver and other digestive organs participate in the work of human digestive facilities, and are responsible for the digestion of food and the transformation and absorption of nutrients. It can ensure that the body absorbs nutrients, obtains energy, and maintains life and health.
Respiratory system mainly refers to nasal cavity, throat, trachea, bronchi and lung and other organs. Because people will breathe continuously while they are alive, they will continuously consume oxygen during the metabolism process and produce carbon dioxide . This process is called gas exchange. The important organ that completes the gas exchange work is lung , and other organs are responsible for assisting in the delivery of gas.
blood circulation system is usually called cardiovascular system . Its function is to help the body transport nutrients, oxygen, metabolites and other substances. A normal blood circulation system can maintain the health of the body and allow life to continue.
nervous system plays a leading role in the human body. The human brain, spinal cord, spinal nerves, , botanical nerves, and various ganglion form the nervous system, which can regulate the activities of organs and major systems in the body, and interact with the external environment.
In addition, exercise system is mainly composed of bones, joints and muscles . The exercise system can support weight, protect internal organs, help the human body maintain basic shape, and also produce exercise. The endocrine system is mainly composed of organs such as pituitary , hypothalamus, thyroid , pancreatic islet , and its existence is to regulate the body's growth, development, metabolism, and reproduction.
In addition, urinary system and reproductive system also have crucial functions, among which the urinary system is responsible for excreting body metabolic products as well as adverse products and excess substances in the body. The reproductive system is responsible for producing germ cells, reproduction of new individuals, and maintaining the secondary sexual characteristics of , which is of great significance to human reproduction.
It can be seen from this that no matter which organ is useful, it is very important to the human body. No one should remove organ by any means unless necessary. In this way, you can maintain your health to the greatest extent.
Of course, not all organs are indispensable in the human body. If you suffer from an incurable disease or an accident occurs, causing some organs, , which have weak functional properties, to be seriously damaged and become a life-threatening lesion, , it can only be removed through surgical resection to help the patient get a chance to survive.
2. There are six organs, and people will not die after being removed. This is true.
, tonsil
tonsil is located in the oral cavity, and is the lymphatic organ in the throat part. It can help the human body resist inflammation and have anti-infection effects. However, because tonsils are often affected by food, air and other factors, they are more likely to become inflamed, causing symptoms such as pain, cough, and sputum.
If tonsillitis recurs, to 4 times per year will occur, and will be more than , and tonsillitis will be swollen for a long time, which will affect respiratory or sleep or have caused complications such as secretory otitis media , rheumatoid arthritis , etc., it is necessary to remove it through surgical resection. Only by clearing the lesions can you avoid repeated damage to the body.
, appendix
appendix is in the lower right corner of the abdomen, between ileum and cecal . This is a slender and curved blind tube that acts in the human body with the effect of immunity and storage of probiotics. If you eat improperly or develop bad living habits, it may cause appendix inflammation and cause severe pain.
Many patients went to the hospital for treatment because they could not bear the severe pain caused by appendicitis . Under normal circumstances, anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving treatments can control the condition. However, because appendicitis is prone to recurrence, some people choose to remove the appendix when receiving treatment.
, gallbladder
The main function of gallbladder is to store bile . Under the influence of bad eating habits or smoking and drinking, it is easy to cause diseases such as gallbladder stones or cholecystitis , causing severe pain in the patient and affecting the quality of life. After this occurs, most patients need surgical removal of the gallbladder. After the gallbladder is removed, although the organs that store bile are missing, the body is no longer violated by diseases such as gallbladder stones and cholecystitis , and no longer causes severe pain, but can help people improve their quality of life.
, pancreatic
pancreatic is responsible for secreting hormone and digestive enzyme in the human body. The pancreas is susceptible to adverse diet and living habits. Once it becomes inflamed or cancerous, it has a great impact on human health, especially the mortality rate of pancreatic cancer is very high.
After these two conditions occur, the most direct treatment for patients is to remove the pancreas. , especially if early pancreatic cancer is found, pancreatic resection should be performed in time for treatment to completely remove the lesions. Although removing the pancreas is not life-threatening, some patients need to take hormone drugs to help the body make up for the function of the pancreas.
, spleen
For the human body, spleen belongs to the largest immune organ . However, the spleen is very prone to rupture. If the spleen ruptures after severe trauma and cannot be repaired, the spleen can only be removed through surgical removal, and can help the patient save his life.
After removing spleen , it will not endanger life safety, but it will affect the human body's immunity and hematopoietic function . Therefore, after the spleen is removed, it is necessary to strengthen dietary care, and at the same time improve immunity through exercise, going to bed early and getting up early.
, reproductive organs
When we watched TV, we found that The eunuch of the Qing Dynasty could still survive like a normal person after removing testicles . This shows that if you lose a certain reproductive organ, will not have any impact on life. Although the reproductive organs are very important to the human body, in special circumstances, in order to survive better, the male testicles or female genital organs such as breasts, uterus , and ovary may be removed.
After the reproductive organs are removed, sexual ability or fertility function will be affected. In addition, if a man removes the testicles or a woman removes the ovaries, the body's hormone secretion will also be reduced. In order to maintain normal hormone levels, hormone drugs are usually taken to avoid affecting normal life and accelerating aging.
3. What changes will happen to the body after removing certain organs?
Because different organs have different functions in the human body, the body will also undergo different degrees of changes after being removed.
For example, tonsil and appendix are both immune organs. Within one month after removal of tonsils and appendix, patients may experience decreased immunity and resistance. Without tonsils, there may be pain in the throat and foreign body sensation in the throat. It will take about half a year to recover and improve.
After gallbladder and pancreas are removed, if the care is improper, it may easily cause indigestion, increasing the incidence of gastritis, esophagitis, diabetes , hepatic bile duct stones , colon cancer , colon cancer and other diseases. Removal of spleen may lead to weakening of the body's hematopoietic function and immune function, increasing the risk of anemia or qi and blood irregularity .
Finally, reproductive organ was removed, and the most obvious effect was the loss of sexual function or fertility . For example, men cannot have sex after removing their penis and women remove their vagina. In addition, the body's immunity will also be reduced to varying degrees, causing other reproductive system diseases.
However, in most cases, after removing some organ , the appearance of a person does not change significantly. As long as you strengthen your body's conditioning in the later stage, pay attention to dietary nutritional combinations, and eat light and easy-to-digest foods, so that the body's immunity and can remain normal.
should also strengthen physical exercise in daily life, eliminate bad habits such as smoking, drinking, and staying up late, which will also help improve 's disease resistance and to maintain health.
Warm tips
The human body has various organs. If any of the six organs of tonsils, appendix, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, and reproductive organs are removed, it will not pose too much threat to life. However, every organ has the meaning of existence in the human body. What we need to do is to take as much measures as possible to prevent in disease, protect the body, and avoid the step of resection of organs. Friends in front of the screen of
