"Hey? Xiao Li, why do you eat so little today, and you eat so slowly?"
"Oh, it's not because of tonsil inflammation. I'm sore in now, and it hurts even more when I swallow things." After hearing the colleague's inquiry, Xiao Li answered helplessly.
"No, how do I remember that you always have tonsils? Otherwise, cut the tonsils directly. It doesn't have any effect after cutting , and it will save you from suffering from ."
Xiao Li was a little moved after hearing this. If the existence of tonsils does not make much sense, but they are always inflamed, it is indeed better to remove them directly. However, Xiao Li did not listen to and believe in his colleague's words, but contacted the doctor who treated him yesterday and asked whether this statement was correct.
After listening to Xiao Li's narrative, the doctor reminded that tonsils seem useless, but it actually belongs to an immune barrier of the human body . Xiao Li was surprised after hearing this and didn't understand why the doctor said this. What was going on?
tonsils can be removed at will?
In the eyes of many patients, tonsils are not only a useless organ, but also a burden. If you don’t say it is useless, you will always get inflamed and suppurated. It’s better to cut it off directly and save trouble. But in fact, the idea of is wrong . Tonsills cannot be removed at will, and it also has its meaning.
tonsils are located in the oral cavity of the human body and belong to the intersection of digestive tract and respiratory tract . The tonsil inflammation that people often call is often called palatal tonsils. It is located between the tongue-palatine arch and the pharyngeal palatine arch. It is a pair of flat oval lymphatic tissue organs. Because tonsils can produce lymphocytes and antibody , has a defensive effect on bacteria and viruses , so it is also considered an immune barrier for the human body.
and tonsils become inflamed. One of the main reasons is that this immune barrier function is weakened . When the human body is in a state of fatigue, lack of exercise, and lack of nutrition for a long time, it will lead to a decline in the body's immune function. At this time, if bacteria or viruses invade and gather in the nest of the tonsils, the tonsils will have symptoms of inflammation, redness, swelling, pain, and dysphagia in .
In addition, if shows inflammation symptoms in the adjacent organs of the tonsils , such as the throat, ears, nose, etc., the inflammation in these areas will slowly spread to tonsil .
Tonsill inflammation does cause some pain to patients. Some patients may even experience repeated inflammations many times in a year. However, when is not the source of tonsils that often cause lesions, it is still not recommended for patients to remove . This is not only because tonsils are the first immune line in the throat, but also because tonsil removal surgery also has contraindications and contraindications.
For example, patients who are acute tonsillitis ; patients with hematopathy, hypertension , heart disease and other diseases; patients with systemic symptoms such as rheumatism and heat and nephritis and are not controlled; women with menstrual period and premenstrual period ; patients with high incidence of immune disease and leukocyte ; patients with clotting dysfunction , etc. are prohibited from removing tonsils.
Take patients who are suffering from acute tonsillitis as an example. The tonsils of this type of patient are in a state of congestion. If the surgery is performed immediately, it may cause wound bleeding, which may cause secondary infection with , seriously threatening the patient's health.
Like tonsils, it is considered to be useless organs, and there are 5 organs that can be removed at will, including appendix , wisdom teeth , gallbladder , tailbone , and sinus . But this is actually all rumor. If removed casually, it may cause some adverse changes in the body. As for the specific adverse changes, let’s take a look at them.
The other 5 "useless organs" in the human body?
There are many such rumors on the Internet,
"It's okay to remove the appendix except for the extra scar",
"It's not a big problem to cut off the gallbladder, and it's easy to get gallbladder stones ",
"The tailbone does not have much effect, but it's easy to break and cause severe pain when falling, so it's better to remove it",
"The sinuses are useless except for the prone to polyps and inflammation",
"The wisdom teeth should be removed as soon as possible, otherwise they will decay and affect the gums",
"The five human organs do not have any effect at all, but is this really the case?
First, let’s talk about the appendix , which is a tubular organ located in the lower right corner of the abdomen. Many patients believe that keeping it will only cause inflammation and cause severe pain. Even acute appendicitis has a mortality rate of 0.1%-0.5%, but in fact, the appendix is not as useless as many people think.
appendix has rich lymphatic tissue , so it can also participate in the body's immune function. is responsible for the body's cell immune and humoral immune .
In addition, the appendix also has the function of secreting cells . Whether it is a hormone that promotes intestinal peristalsis, a hormone that promotes growth, and various digestive enzymes , after secretion, helps the intestine establish a healthy bacterial system , so that intestinal microorganisms can maintain balance.
Let’s talk about gallbladder , it also has its unique function and is not something that can be removed at will.
1 is to store and concentrate bile . While buffering the pressure of bile duct , it leaves the active ingredients in bile stored in the gallbladder;
2 is secreting mucus to avoid the erosion and dissolution of concentrated bile mucosa;
3 is to clear the gallbladder . When the human body eats, the food will pass through the duodenum and stimulate its mucosa to produce cholecystolin . This substance will clear the bile in the gallbladder and immediately discharge it into the duodenum. While helping fat digestion and absorption, it also brings bacteria in the bile tract and bile away from the human body.
It is precisely because of these three functions of the gallbladder that the gallbladder cannot be removed at will. Needless to say, a healthy gallbladder is, even if the gallbladder with some disease can improve through treatment, it is not recommended to perform resection, otherwise may increase the incidence of colorectal cancer .
Because bile that has nowhere to be stored will enter the intestine and be decomposed by bacteria, producing secondary bile acid . Because secondary bile acids contain lithocholic acid, deoxycholic acid can be converted into methylcholeanthracene. It is precisely this substance that has extremely strong carcinogenic effects.
Then talk about the coccyx, in fact, the coccyx has the function of protecting the spine and pelvic organs .
When the patient suffers from falling and his hips land first, the gap between coccyx and sacral vertebra at the base of the spine will have a buffering effect. avoids the spine being directly impacted , otherwise this impact may go straight into the skull through the spine, damaging brain tissue.
Not only that, the tailbone also plays a load-bearing and stabilizing role in pelvic muscles that support the human internal organs, so it can also indirectly protect the pelvic organs. It is not recommended that patients remove them at will.
Then let’s talk about sinus , which is a multiple air-containing bone cavity around the nasal cavity. It not only participates in the process of inhaling air in with moisture and warmth, but also has the effect of supporting the face shape of a person, supporting the inside of the head and reducing the weight of the head .
If the sinuses are removed casually, the patient may experience symptoms such as prone to nosebleeds, weakened sense of balance, and worsening of head weight .
Finally, wisdom teeth . If the wisdom teeth are inflamed, caries, pain and other symptoms appear on the wisdom teeth for a long time, the patient can remove the wisdom teeth. Otherwise, it is not recommended that the patient remove the wisdom teeth at will.
Because wisdom teeth can play a backup role, is transplanted to the vacant gum site . Moreover, removing wisdom teeth may cause to collapse on the cheeks , so patients should not make hasty decisions.
In fact, if does not cause lesions, it is not recommended to remove at will. Having said that, what should we do in daily life to reduce the incidence of these organs? How to reduce the chance of organ incidence?
Human organs have their own functions. Many so-called "useless organs" may indeed not cause much harm to the human body after removal, but the harm still exists. Therefore, everyone should also take measures as much as possible to reduce the incidence of these organs.
First of all, you should maintain appropriate amount of exercise , such as jogging, swimming, brisk walking, mountaineering and other aerobic exercises, which are suitable for most patients.
Moderate exercise is beneficial and harmless to the human body. It can not only promote to blood circulation and help the heart beat more powerfully, but also have the effects of to enhance human immunity, enhance cardiopulmonary function, accelerate fat consumption, and lower blood sugar blood pressure .
, especially to enhance the human immunity. Under long-term moderate exercise, the human body's immune cell activity will increase , which will naturally enhance the body's disease resistance, thereby reducing the risk of lesions in human organs .
The second is to avoid staying up late and maintain a regular schedule. has many advantages, such as promotes growth and development, promotes the secretion of hormones in humans, is conducive to brain cell metabolism of , antioxidant effects, and improves human immunity.
If you stay up late frequently, the disordered biological clock of may affect the normal metabolic function of , causing the body to fall into a state of fatigue, and its ability to resist pathogenic microorganism infection will also decrease.
plus the adverse effects of on gastrointestinal function may affect the body's intake of nutrients. If the human body's nutrition needs cannot be replenished in time, immunity will decrease, so greatly increases the risk of disease in each organ .
Finally, a reasonable diet , three meals are scheduled and regular and balanced dietary structure , which can ensure that of all organs of the human body absorb sufficient nutrition , so that maintains the normal operation of each organ and avoids lesions. Therefore, it is recommended that everyone eat on time every meal and consume a regular amount of meat, vegetables, fruits and staple foods at each meal, so as to supplement the nutrients needed by the body.
Final conclusion
The human body has many seemingly useless tissues and organs, which not only do not have much meaning in existence, but may also lead to the occurrence of diseases. Therefore, many people insist on the idea of removing these "useless organs". But are these organs really useless? In fact, this is not the case. Most of these organs have their own unique functions. It is just limited to the current technological level, and many hidden functions have not been fully revealed.
is recommended that people do not remove the so-called "useless organs" casually unless the human organs have lesions and they have to remove these organs, which requires the advice of a specialist.
