Everyone will feel uncomfortable in life. Some people care very much, while others don’t care, and even feel pretentious, and eventually they drag the small problem into a big problem! So, what so-called minor illnesses need to be more vigilant? 1. Don’t pay attention to these 4 minor diseases, be careful to become cancer 1. Chronic inflammation - don’t pay attention to becoming cancer If a certain organ in the body continues to develop chronic inflammation for a long time, it may lead to cancer. For example, long-term atrophic gastritis , which can easily lead to gastric cancer . Long-term chronic hepatitis, whether it is hepatitis B or hepatitis C, can easily lead to liver cancer .

If inflammation cannot be effectively controlled, repeated attacks may lead to cancer, but it does not mean that it will definitely become cancer. (1) Other harms of inflammation to the body damage bones: If inflammation occurs in the joints, it will cause pain and stiffness, such as rheumatoid arthritis. Endangering the cardiovascular system: The formation of plaques in the blood vessel walls will cause chronic inflammation and form thrombosis, which may eventually lead to heart disease . Causes diabetes : weight gain and obesity are mostly manifested as blood lipids and blood sugar increase. Once fat cells increase, more inflammatory factors will be secreted, making the immune system abnormally active, leading to abnormal lipid metabolism, and thus increasing the risk of diabetes.

Drinking more water can strengthen blood circulation , promote inactivation of inflammatory factors, reduce inflammatory state, and maintain the stability of the immune system. Exercise frequently and increase the amount of oxygen intake of the human body can strengthen immunity and prevent the inflammatory factors from "ravaging". It is recommended to exercise 2 to 3 times a week, each time for half an hour. walks , jogging, swimming, mountain climbing, etc. are all good choices. Learning to relieve stress and maintain an optimistic attitude and adequate sleep can also make us healthier.

Gastrointestinal polyps - Gastrointestinal cancer Many gastrointestinal cancers evolved from polyps, especially adenomatous colon polyps, with a higher cancer rate. Gastrointestinal polyps refer to any visible overgrowth tissues that are protruding from the surface of the gastrointestinal mucosa to the cavity, including adenomatous polyps, inflammatory polyps, hyperplastic polyps and hamartomatous polyps. As the volume of adenomatous polyps grows, the cancer rate also increases, with the total cancer rate ranging from 10% to 20%. Recommendation: Once a polyp is discovered, even a small adenoma should be removed in time. 3. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with long-term cough symptoms is a high-risk group of people in life. They always think that cough is a minor problem, so they "drag" lung cancer, because most lung cancer patients' first symptoms are cough. How is the difference between cough caused by lung cancer and cough caused by common cold? Coughs caused by lung cancer are irritating coughs, often without sputum or only a small amount of white sticky phlegm. Long duration: If you have coughs for more than 3 weeks, you need to be alert, which may be lung cancer. Accompanied by other symptoms: such as hoarseness, tightness in the throat, chest tightness when waking up in the morning, shortness of breath, dyspnea, dyspnea, dizziness, etc.

4. Oral ulcers - If you don't heal for a long time, be careful that oral ulcers often occur periodically and repeatedly. There are many causes, including local trauma, mental tension, lack of trace elements, etc. Systemic diseases, genetics, immunity, and microorganisms may also play an important role in the occurrence and development of oral ulcers. Note: A large and deep tongue ulcer may be a precancerous lesion and is very prone to cancer. The principle should be based on the principle of "early detection, early medical treatment, early treatment, early loss". If necessary, biopsy should be performed to clarify the diagnosis. 2. Varicocele: Severe may block blood vessels. Varicocele is a disease that is not difficult to detect. It can often be detected by appearance, but it does not hurt or itch in the early stage and does not affect normal life. Therefore, some people often ignore it, especially elderly patients will always delay until the most serious before they are willing to go to the hospital.If not treated in time, varicose veins can induce complications such as pigmentation, phlebitis, , deep vein thrombosis, and may even lead to pulmonary embolism. Early treatment of varicose veins in the lower limbs is very necessary. Minimally invasive treatment usually takes only 20 to 60 minutes to complete the operation, without severe pain and subcutaneous blood stasis, and there are no major surgical scars. Note: You should stand up and move around frequently on weekdays, try not to wear tight clothes, do not cross your legs, and avoid standing or sitting for a long time. 3. Prostate hyperplasia: Don’t wait for urination and then visit the doctor. Men often experience prostate hyperplasia from the age of 40. Long-term prostate hyperplasia will seriously affect the patient’s urinary function and quality of life. Some patients will experience hematuria , bladder stones , repeated urinary tract infection , etc., and even serious complications such as hydronephrosis , renal insufficiency, urinary retention .

However, some of them have caused damage to bladder function due to long-term poor urination, or serious cardiovascular lesions and severe renal insufficiency, and the best time for conservative treatment or surgical treatment is lost. If the patient's prostate volume increases within a certain range, a method of waiting for observation can be used. If there are obvious symptoms of prostate hyperplasia, medication should be taken as soon as possible. When patients take oral medications to treat them poorly, or experience surgical indications such as repeated urinary retention, urinary tract infection, and even hydronephrosis, hematuria and bladder stones, surgical methods can be considered for treatment.
