The history of human development is always accompanied by a history of fighting diseases. Although the current science is quite advanced, there are still many diseases threatening human life. The following 10 types are ranked first:
1. Heart disease
It is the main disease in North America, Europe, and Oceania, especially the elderly who suffer the most from this disease. In the United States alone, 750,000 people die from this disease every year.
In our country, the health killer ranking first is coronary heart disease.
In addition to common palpitations, precordial pain and other well-known symptoms, heart disease often has some physical signs. Paying attention to these aura symptoms can be detected and treated early. These physical signs include:
Breathing-shortness of breath when doing some light activities or quiet, but not accompanied by cough or sputum.
Face complexion-if the face is pale and purple, and the expression is indifferent, this is a critically ill face of the late heart disease.
Nose-If the nose is stiff, it means that there is too much heart fat.
Skin-Patients with chronic heart failure and advanced pulmonary heart disease may have dark brown or dark purple skin.
Ears-if you have a continuous wrinkle in your earlobe, it is most likely caused by coronary artery hardening.
Shoulder-The weather is very good, but there is soreness on the left shoulder and inside of the left arm. This may be coronary heart disease.
2. Malignant tumor (cancer)
According to data released by the World Health Organization in 1984, for every 10 deaths in the world, 1 of them died of cancer. Among more than a hundred kinds of pains with different pathologies, no specific treatment has been found so far.
Ten signs of the arrival of cancer:
1. Any part of the body has a bump that can be touched and gradually increases;
2. Persistent dyspepsia;
3. Burning sensation when swallowing food, foreign body sensation in the esophagus, or fullness and discomfort behind the breastbone;
4. There is no trauma to the body parts such as tongue, buccal mucosa, skin, etc., and ulcers will not heal for a long time;
5. Irregular bleeding and contact bleeding during women's menstruation, extraperiod or after menopause;
6. Unexplained hematuria or blood in the stool, alternating diarrhea and constipation;
7. Nasal congestion, bloody nose, nose bleeding, unilateral headache and diplopia often occur;
8. Persistent hoarseness, dry cough that does not heal for a long time or blood in sputum;
9. Warts and moles grow rapidly, darken in color or have itching, stains, bleeding, and loss of original hair;
10. Loss of appetite, weight loss and rapid weight loss, and the reasons are unknown.
3. Cerebrovascular disease (also called stroke or cerebral hemorrhage)
After a decade of investigation and research by Chinese and American scientists, it has been confirmed that cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are the main cause of death in Chinese adults.
To prevent cerebrovascular disease, we must pay more attention to some signs of cerebrovascular disease.
Sudden occurrence of dizziness-can occur at any time before the cerebrovascular disease, especially when you wake up in the morning, and easily occur after fatigue and bathing.
Sudden occurrence of severe headache-any sudden severe headache; accompanied by seizures; recent history of head trauma; accompanied by coma and lethargy; sudden changes in the nature, location, and distribution of the headache.
Abnormal gait-staggering, weakness in walking legs is one of the aura symptoms of hemiplegia. If the gait suddenly deteriorates, accompanied by numbness and weakness of the limbs, it is a precursor to cerebrovascular disease.
Continuous yawning-80% of patients suffering from ischemic cerebrovascular disease experience continuous yawning 5-10 days before the onset.
Nosebleeds in hypertensive patients-several times of massive nosebleeds, plus fundus bleeding, hematuria, such people may have cerebral hemorrhage within half a year.
Abnormal blood pressure-when the blood pressure suddenly rises above 200/120mmHg, it is a precursor to cerebral hemorrhage; when the blood pressure drops below 80/50mmHg, it is a precursor to cerebral thrombosis.
4. gastroenteritis (including dysentery)
Many diseases of the digestive tract have unobvious symptoms and are easily overlooked. But you can carry out self-examination from some unobvious symptoms after a meal, early detection and early treatment of gastrointestinal diseases.
1. Upper abdominal pain after a meal, or nausea, vomiting, or food sensation. It often occurs in autumn, and the pain may be rhythmic;
2. Stomach pain usually occurs 2 hours after a meal, or waking up in the middle of the night, which can be relieved after eating, and acid reflux often occurs;
3. When eating, there are hindrances, pauses, and pain in the back of the sternum.
4. Abdominal pain and diarrhea after eating improperly or catching a cold may be accompanied by vomiting, chills and fever;
5. Fullness after meals or all day long, belching but not acid reflux, poor appetite, weight loss gradually;
6. Abdominal pain after meals, often nausea, vomiting, and occasionally hematemesis, a history of stomach illness in the past has recently worsened.
5. Influenza and pneumonia
There is no special prevention and treatment method, the disease occurs all over the world, especially in South American countries such as Chile and Mexico, where the mortality rate is high.
influenza
Caused by human influenza virus, it has a rapid onset, rapid spread, high morbidity and an infection rate of up to 50%. It is mainly characterized by systemic poisoning, chills and fever, accompanied by general malaise, muscle aches, and joint pain.
common cold
Caused by rhinovirus, coronavirus, parainfluenza virus, adenovirus and other viruses
The incidence is mainly seen in winter and spring. Can happen in all seasons
If the common cold has no complications, it can heal itself within 1 week
Mainly spread, the infection rate is only 10%
Symptoms of systemic poisoning are mild, fever is low, but respiratory symptoms are obvious
6. bronchitis (including emphysema and asthma)
Smoking, dust, air pollution and environmental allergens promote the occurrence and development of the disease.
There are three main reasons for the recurrence of tracheitis:
One is: Weak physique, can get sick after a little cold;
The second is: the irritation of dirty air inside and outside the room;
The third is: relapse caused by a cold.
Doctor strategy:
Strengthening cold tolerance exercises, enhancing disease resistance, and reducing or avoiding the occurrence of colds are important means for patients with chronic bronchitis to self-care for rehabilitation.
7. diabetes
The risk of diabetic patients with cerebral infarction is 2 to 4 times higher than that of ordinary people, and the risk of myocardial infarction is 3 to 4 times higher. One-third of patients have kidney disease, one-fourth will have cardiovascular disease, one-third may have eye problems, diabetes causes uremia, and end-stage deaths of kidney failure occupy the first place, up to 36.39%, and many diabetics die For heart disease.
Diabetes causes systemic vascular disease
Head-Cerebral atherosclerosis starts from the head, which can cause transient ischemic attack and stroke.
Eyes-Diabetes-induced ophthalmopathy began in the early stages of diabetes, mainly the lesions of the retinal blood vessels in the fundus.
Heart-Diabetes has a serious impact on the heart, such as coronary atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, and heart failure.
Kidneys-Diabetes affects the kidneys like eye diseases, starting in the early stages of diabetes.
In diabetic patients, arteriosclerosis also occurs in the iliac femoral artery and tibiofibular artery, and the lesions of the lower limb blood vessels come earlier.
These symptoms caused by vascular disease are also the main reasons affecting the mortality and disability rate of diabetic patients.
8. liver cirrhosis
The cause is still inconsistent, and it is related to excessive drinking and lack of certain vitamins. Continuous viral replication can increase the risk of liver inflammation and fibrosis, the latter two are the precursor manifestations of liver cirrhosis in patients with chronic hepatitis B.
"Clues" of the progression of liver cirrhosis:
Thin face, dark face-more than one-third of patients suffering from chronic hepatitis or cirrhosis, the skin around the face and eye sockets is darker and darker than before.
Spider nevus, cinnabar palm-patients with liver cirrhosis often have some dilated skin arteries on the face, neck, chest, shoulders, forearms and back of the hands.
Yellow eyes and yellow skin-the patient's sclera (white of the eyes) or skin becomes yellow, which is called jaundice in medical terms.
Breast swelling and testicles shrinking-the liver plays an important role in the balance of sex hormones in the human blood.
Bleeding spots and low fever-Patients with liver cirrhosis often have a tendency to bleed, and may have repeated epistaxis and bleeding gums when brushing their teeth.
Ascites, venous vasculature-patients with liver cirrhosis often have ascites. Generally speaking, the greater the amount of ascites and the more repetitions, the worse the prognosis.
9. tuberculosis
Tuberculosis is the main cause of death of infectious diseases in the world, especially the outbreak and serious harm of multi-drug-resistant tuberculosis.
Six characteristics of the tuberculosis epidemic in my country:
The number of infections is high. About 550 million people in my country have been infected with tuberculosis, and the infection rate has reached 44.5%
There are many patients. There are about 4.5 million active tuberculosis patients nationwide, ranking second in the world
There are many new patients. Approximately 1.45 million new patients occur annually nationwide
The death toll is high. Approximately 130,000 people die from tuberculosis each year across the country
There are many patients in rural areas. About 80% of tuberculosis patients nationwide are concentrated in rural areas, especially in the central and western regions
There are many resistant patients. Drug-resistant TB patients accounted for about 1/4 in the country
10. Infectious diseases and trauma
Especially in underdeveloped countries, children have a higher mortality rate from such diseases and trauma.
The above does not include accidental deaths such as car accidents. Accidental deaths account for a high proportion of the total number of human deaths in the world.
