Holiday entertainment must be restrained, less sitting and more moving away from the disease Just in time for the Chinese New Year festivities, people’s usual fatigue and worries swept away. Into the first month, we all began to visit friends and relatives, after dinner leisure time, a few friends set up a table of mahjong is a common way to contact feelings, entertainment mood. However, in this happy and peaceful atmosphere, do you know a disease is quietly approaching? The “mahjong table syndrome” is not a strange disease, the root of which is “deep vein thrombosis of the lower extremities”. However, this sedentary for Ms. Zhang has been a routine, because her occupation is a bus conductor, inevitably have to sit for a long time. In fact, this is where the cause of the disease lies. So, what kind of people are prone to this disease? What are the causes? The three basic elements of venous thrombosis: change in blood flow status (venous retardation), change in vessel wall (endothelial damage), and change in blood properties (blood hypercoagulation), are the three recognized elements of venous thrombosis. Generally speaking, people who are at high risk are those who remain in the same position for long periods of time without exercise due to occupational requirements or objective constraints, such as drivers, bus conductors, long-distance travelers and patients who are bedridden due to fractures. Normally, most of the blood in the lower extremities is pumped back to the heart by the “muscle pump”. When the muscles are relaxed, the pressure on the blood vessels in the lower extremities decreases and blood enters the veins, and when the muscles contract, the blood is sent back to the heart from the veins located between the muscles due to the compression of the surrounding muscles and the presence of the venous valves. When people exercise, because the lower limb muscles keep stretching and contracting, several liters of venous blood per minute can be sent back to the heart. This powerful “muscle pump” is often considered the “second heart”. However, it is this “second heart” that is not functioning in the above population, resulting in sluggish venous blood flow in the lower extremities, increasing the risk of deep vein thrombosis in the lower extremities. There are also some high-risk factors that are easily overlooked, and that is the damage to the intima. There are two general causes of endovascular injury: chemical injury and mechanical injury. Chemical injury to the intima usually occurs during intravenous infusion, such as various antibiotics, hypertonic glucose solutions, etc. can stimulate the intima to varying degrees, leading to phlebitis and venous thrombosis; mechanical injury to the intima usually occurs during local contusions, lacerations or fracture trauma. Therefore, people who are frequently given intravenous fluids or often engaged in vigorous sports should be alert to the risk of intravenous injury followed by deep vein thrombosis. In addition, overweight, hyperlipidemic, hyperuricemic and diabetic patients, as well as women who are taking birth control pills and pregnant women also need to be careful, because these people generally have a hypercoagulable state of blood and are prone to deep vein thrombosis. However, the presence of various risk factors does not necessarily lead to thrombosis, but rather the presence of these factors makes the occurrence of deep vein thrombosis more likely and warrants vigilance. Therefore, in order to enjoy a good and comfortable holiday, but also not to affect people’s health, we have to arrange recreational activities scientifically and reasonably: 1, leisure and recreation is not sedentary, thrombosis will not find: people who work hard on weekdays often choose the most comfortable and pleasant way to spend the holidays, such as playing mahjong, playing computer, watching TV at home, sleep, etc., and the common denominator of these activities is the lack of Activity. After the above introduction, you can easily find that if the body does not move, the “muscle pump” will be difficult to function, and then deep vein thrombosis will be more likely to occur. Therefore, for white-collar workers or sedentary people who lack exercise, choosing outdoor activities close to nature during the holidays is a good way to restore health and enhance physical fitness. Of course, if you are a mahjong fanatic, in order to avoid Ms. Zhang’s scene again, then the process of playing mahjong should also pay attention to the activities of the legs, often get up and move, even if sitting on the seat, tiptoe can also effectively contract the calf muscles, shaking legs can also effectively promote blood circulation in the calves. 2, drink more water and juice, good habits to maintain: drink more water can not only beauty, enhance metabolism, promote the excretion of body waste, and can dilute the blood, improve the viscous state of blood. Juice is rich in vitamin c, especially orange juice, vitamin c can promote the excretion of cholesterol, prevent cholesterol deposition in the inner wall of blood vessels, which plays a role in regulating blood lipids. Therefore, people who lack exercise should drink more water and juice, which can reduce the risk of deep vein thrombosis. In addition, should try to smoke less, drink less coffee and alcohol, and maintain a good work and rest schedule. 3, open windows and good air, refreshing circulation: good air circulation can not only reduce the occurrence of colds and other infectious diseases, but also can promote blood circulation. Long-term indoor, especially in the northern winter, doors and windows closed for a long time, indoor air can not be improved, making the concentration of carbon dioxide increased, oxygen concentration decreased, people are in such an environment for a long time, breathing will be weakened, blood circulation will also slow down, at this time, open the windows and doors to circulate air is a good way to let the breathing cycle back to normal. 4, the correct use of elastic stockings, economic and convenient can health care: If you already belong to the high-risk groups prone to deep vein thrombosis, then in the premise of maintaining the above good habits, it is best to also use medical elastic stockings. The elastic stocking gives the highest support pressure in the ankle part where the pressure is most needed, and gradually decreases up the leg to 70%-90% of the maximum pressure in the calf belly, and 25%-45% of the maximum pressure in the thigh, which is a unique and regular design of decreasing external pressure to effectively keep the blood flowing, just like a “second heart” in the heart. This unique design of regular decreasing external pressure is effective in keeping the blood flowing, as if the “second heart” is working continuously. In fact, many patients with DVT are unaware of their disease until they are diagnosed with pulmonary embolism complications such as unexplained chest tightness, chest pain and coughing. The early manifestations of DVT in the lower extremities are mainly swelling and pain in the limbs. This is the most common symptom of DVT. In addition, because the thrombus stimulates the inflammatory reaction of the vein wall and stimulates the nerve endings, pain usually appears in the calf stomach, thigh, groin area, etc. This is also a common symptom. vascular surgery for professional consultation and treatment. In fact, whether you are a mahjong fanatic or not, sedentary people with little movement and lack of exercise are at risk of suffering from “mahjong table syndrome”, and moderate entertainment and proper exercise during the holidays are excellent opportunities for you to enhance your physical fitness. Reasonable life, physical and mental pleasure, do not let the “mahjong table syndrome” again.
