The teaching profession is a combination of mental and physical work. Due to the special characteristics of the profession, for example, long time with the voice, standing time, tired of ambulatory work, many teachers suffer from laryngitis, varicose veins in the legs, cervical and lumbar spondylosis and neurasthenia and other occupational diseases. Recently, the media reported that a survey showed that teachers suffering from various degrees of occupational diseases account for 34.5% of the entire teaching population. Long-term standing teaching, voluntarily correcting assignments so that the neck, shoulder and lumbar spondylosis, varicose veins, etc. have become the most common diseases of teachers. Occupational disease one: throat vocal cord disease excessive use of voice throat swelling pain, the best treatment is to prohibit voice rest. “To say that teachers occupational disease, the first is definitely the voice problem.” Mr. Gao’s wife is a teacher, she often put the throat lozenges in her pocket. Mr. Gao’s wife said that their teaching and research group, several colleagues have voice problems. The colleagues often discuss the way to moisten the throat in the office, who has a good way we all follow, but in the end it does not work. Dr. D. Zhou of the Department of Otolaryngology at the First Hospital told reporters that excessive use of the voice can easily lead to excessive fatigue and edge congestion of the teachers’ vocal cords, and even trigger vocal cord polyps and vocal cord nodules. “The most damage is done by sudden high voice pronunciation, which can easily lead to vocal cord congestion.” “The best treatment for sore throats caused by excessive use of the voice is to abstain from voice rest rather than using lozenges. Throat lozenges should not be taken for a long time either.” D. Zhou reminds that if the throat is uncomfortable, itchy, dry or has a burning sensation, heat fumigation gas therapy can be used. The method is to breathe the mouth into a tea cup or teapot with hot air, which will soon eliminate the discomfort. In addition, can also be used chrysanthemum, honeysuckle or fat sea infusion as tea. Occupational disease two: varicose veins in the legs usually wear elastic socks, more jogging, more massage legs can be prevented. Similar to nurses and salesmen, many teachers suffer from varicose veins in their legs because they have to stand for a long time. “Teachers account for nearly 20% of the varicose vein patients in the outpatient clinic, which is a high proportion.” Hepatobiliary, pancreatic and vascular surgeons told reporters that teachers stand for a long time in class, the blood column within the veins of the lower extremities forms pressure, so that venous blood does not easily return to the heart, and the pressure in the veins of the lower extremities increases, which can easily lead to varicose veins. Mild varicose veins patients, standing for a long time after the calf will have a slight up feeling, generally not very serious. However, late varicose veins may lead to serious consequences such as pigmentation and skin necrosis, which will not be cured for a long time. It is suggested that teachers can wear elastic socks to prevent varicose veins, and they can do more exercises that can promote blood circulation in legs, such as jogging, or massage legs to prevent varicose veins. “The usual diet should avoid “three high” food, otherwise the blood is sticky, but also easy to form thrombosis, when the time will be trouble.” Occupational disease three: cervical and lumbar spine disease, work for an hour to stand up for 10 minutes -15 minutes. An institution in Beijing once specifically for teachers to conduct a sample of physical examination, the results found that teachers suffering from cervical and lumbar spine disease accounted for 21.4% of the total survey, more than half of the patients suffer from cervical spine hyperplasia, the incidence of cervical spine hyperplasia in teachers over 40 years old is as high as 54.5%. When the reporter interviewed, a number of teachers said they had neck discomfort. Ms. Yi, a language teacher in a middle school near Pinehurst, was only 27 years old, but was examined for a variety of cervical and lumbar spine diseases such as cervical calcification points and straightening of the physiological curve. “I’ve always been dizzy for the past two years, and when I went to the hospital for an examination, it was said to be cervicogenic headache.” Every morning to take the bus to work to stand for half an hour, the most difficult for Ms. Yi, because she always felt the sky spinning. Teachers work long hours at desk, it is easy to suffer from frozen shoulder, lumbar muscle strain, neck and shoulder pain and other diseases. He reminded teachers to stand up for 10-15 minutes and try to massage their necks with their hands for a few minutes to improve local blood circulation and relieve tension in the neck. Occupational disease four: dry eyes, wear sunglasses to protect your eyes, eat more fruits and vegetables and drink more water. Dry eyes, vision loss, low tear secretion, itching, burning, pain, photophobia …… Mr. Li has been feeling eye discomfort lately. To relieve eye fatigue, he often orders eye drops, but the effect is not good. As teachers have to correct assignments for a long time, eye strain is common, and more and more suffer from dry eye disease. Topical long-term use of antibiotic and antiviral eye drops can aggravate dry eye due to the toxicity of the drug itself or preservatives. Long hours of reading and computer use can aggravate eye discomfort. Such as frequent late nights and lack of vitamin A can also lead to dry eyes. Severe dry eyes can lead to vision loss and can easily lead to eye diseases. The dry air in autumn makes ultraviolet rays more penetrating, exposing the eyes to ultraviolet rays, and the dry and hot environment will accelerate the loss of tears, which is most likely to cause dry eyes. It is best to wear sunglasses when going out in the fall to avoid UV damage to the eyes. At the same time, you should pay attention to eating more fruits, vegetables, dairy products, fish and other foods rich in vitamins, and drink more water to reduce dry eyes and other symptoms. In addition, you should change the habit of using your eyes continuously for a long time. After watching TV or reading a book for a while, you should give your eyes a rest by closing them or gazing into the distance. If you find that your eyes are dry and itchy, sore and stinging, or even have blurred vision, you may be suffering from dry eye disease and should seek medical attention.
