What are the common diseases that men have once they are over 40?

While we grow up, our fathers slowly grow old. From the time we enter middle age, the human organism starts to go downhill and many health problems come along with it. On Father’s Day, as sons and daughters, let’s keep our eyes on those hard-working fathers and pay attention to their health. Some of the health problems of fathers may be discovered in an unconscious conversation. Once a man turns 40, many diseases come like a shadow, and you must know in time if your father has diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Even if he is in good health, continue to ask for important data such as cholesterol, blood pressure, lipids, blood sugar, and any other data that may be lurking danger, do not ignore them and then give them to the doctor for analysis to understand your father’s health status. If your father has not been to the hospital for more than a year for a physical examination, then you are “derelict in your duty”, it is best to take your father to the hospital for a comprehensive examination. A, alert to osteoporosis into the middle-aged men are prone to osteoporosis. The main cause of osteoporosis in men may be the lack of androgens, resulting in a decrease in activated vitamin D, which affects the absorption of calcium in the gastrointestinal tract and thus the lack of bone-building materials. Be alert to the following symptoms of osteoporosis: 1. Pain. The most common symptom of primary osteoporosis is low back pain, which accounts for 70%-80% of patients with pain. Pain spreads along the spine to both sides, decreases when supine or sitting, increases when posterior extension or prolonged standing or sitting, is light during the day, increases at night and when waking up in the morning, and increases when bending, muscle movement, coughing, and bowel exertion. Bone pain generally occurs when bone loss is 12% or more; 2. Shortening of body length and hunchback. Mostly appear after pain; 3. Fracture. This is the most common and serious complication of degenerative osteoporosis; 4. Decreased respiratory function. Compression fractures of the thoracic and lumbar spine, backward curvature of the spine, and thoracic deformity can significantly reduce lung capacity and maximum air exchange, and patients can often experience chest tightness, shortness of breath, and dyspnea. Second, hypertension 1, headache. The headache symptoms of hypertension are mostly persistent dull pain or pulsating distension, or even severe pain like frying. Hypertensive patients often occur in the morning when waking up, get up and activities and after meals gradually reduced; 2, irritability, palpitations, insomnia. Patients with hypertension are more impatient, sensitive and easily agitated. Palpitations, insomnia is more common, insomnia is more difficult to fall asleep, early awakening, sleep is not real, nightmares, easy to wake up and other symptoms; 3, dizziness. Some patients with hypertension are transient, often appearing when suddenly squatting or standing up, and some are persistent. Dizziness is the main pain of hypertension patients, their head has a continuous dull discomfort, serious impediment to thinking, affect work, loss of interest in the surrounding things; 4, limb numbness. After the occurrence of hypertension, patients commonly fingers, toes numbness, skin such as mosquito line feeling, back of the neck muscle tension, soreness and other symptoms. Some patients with hypertension often feel that the fingers are not flexible; 5, inattention, memory loss. These symptoms of hypertension, in the early stage is not obvious, but with the development of the disease and gradually aggravated, hypertensive patients show easy distraction, memory loss, often difficult to remember the recent events, but the past is still fresh in mind. Third, sleep quality problems 1, early awakening. Waking up much earlier than usual, or not being able to fall asleep again after waking up in the middle of the night. Second, from the mental state, the next day will be sleepy and tired during the day, long-term insomnia can also lead to dizziness, palpitations, lack of concentration, memory loss and other conditions; 2, difficulty in falling asleep. Sleep time is prolonged, tossing and turning, whether or not there are things to interfere with the habit of sleep, very sleepy and tired, but also unable to fall asleep quickly; 3, sleep depth is not enough. Easily wake up at night, sleep is not solid, obviously rested all night, but as if they have not slept, drowsy and tired, and even lethargic; 4, more dreams, nightmares. Everyone dreams, but if you get up in the morning and can remember that you dreamed a lot, or are often awakened by nightmares, it can seriously affect the quality of sleep. Nightmares can be a sign of anxiety. The tension, worry, and fear inside your dreams may reflect that you have certain emotions that need to be dealt with. Fourth, prostate health problems Patients with long periods of frequent, urgent urination and increased nighttime urination can seriously affect the quality of life. Increased nocturia leads to patients with severe sleep disturbances, anxiety, and mental depression, leading to an increased incidence of cardiovascular disease thus seriously affecting the physical and mental health of patients. The reason for this is that it is easy to cause recurrent urinary tract infections because the patient cannot urinate, the bladder has urine residue, and urine is a better material for bacterial culture; after prostate enlargement, the surface blood vessels of the prostate gland are increased and angered, which can easily rupture and cause hematuria and hemorrhage, and it is often seen clinically that severe hematuria caused by prostate enlargement leads to bladder filling (i.e., the bladder is completely filled by the bleeding formation). The patient who underwent emergency surgery for severe hematuria caused by prostatic hyperplasia (i.e., the bladder was completely filled with blood clots). Bladder stones are easily formed due to urinary tract obstruction, and once bladder stones are formed, they can aggravate urinary frequency, urinary urgency, hematuria, and difficulty in urination, and prolonged bladder stone irritation of the bladder mucosa can even lead to bladder cancer. The damage to the bladder muscles is the damage to the contraction muscles of the bladder. The normal completion of urination requires not only a smooth urethra but also a strong contraction of the bladder muscles, while prostatic hyperplasia leads to urethral obstruction, making it necessary for patients to strengthen the contraction of the bladder muscles to overcome the resistance every time they urinate. In this case, even if the prostate is removed, the patient will not be able to urinate normally and will need a lifelong indwelling urinary catheter or cystostomy. This is the ultimate hazard of prostate hyperplasia, which is what we call uremia. The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who have been in the business for a long time. Now that you have grown up and have your own world, you are busy working and socializing every day, but have you ever noticed your father’s graying temples and aging body, and how long have you not walked with him? Every time you call home, your father is always worried about your health, whether you are fat or thin.
