"That's what happened!" In the emergency room of the hospital, nurse Xiao Zhang shook her head while looking at the medical record, and couldn't help but sigh.
The protagonist of this medical record is a young man named Li Hao, who is just 20 years old this year and is a college student. Today, he was taken to the hospital with a severe anal fissure. After detailed examination and cross-examination, the doctors and nurses found that Li Hao sat in front of the computer for more than ten hours every day, and this kind of maintaining the same posture for a long time greatly increased the risk of anal fissure.
"Young man, you're too caught up in your online world. When the attending doctor, Dr. Zhao, was examining Li Hao, he said half teasing and half worried.
Li Hao smiled awkwardly, he was a computer student, and he usually spent almost all of his spare time in front of the computer in addition to studying and playing games.
"Dr. Zhao, I really didn't expect it to be so serious if I sat for too long. Li Hao said as he gritted his teeth in pain.
"Sitting for too long, especially in a bad posture, can lead to poor blood circulation around the pelvis and rectum, which is very detrimental to the health of the anal area. For a long time, it is easy to cause anal fissures and even hemorrhoids. Dr. Zhao explained while seriously dealing with Li Hao.
"I think you should do regular exercises, even if it's standing up and walking around the house and doing stretching exercises. ”
Li Hao nodded after hearing this, he did feel the discomfort in his body, but he always felt that these small problems were not worth mentioning.
In fact, many young people have a similar habit of immersing themselves in electronic devices for long periods of time and ignoring their body's warning signs. This poor posture may not only lead to anal fissures, but also cause a variety of diseases such as cervical spondylosis, lumbar spondylosis, etc.
Dr Chiu continued, "Actually, lifestyle changes are the key to preventing these diseases. For example, getting up every hour to move, adjusting your sitting position, and trying to keep your back upright can go a long way in reducing your risk. ”
After hearing this, Li Hao felt very reasonable, and he decided to change his living habits in the future, and he couldn't sit endlessly like this anymore.
After dealing with Li Hao's condition, Dr. Zhao returned to the doctor's office and began to record today's work summary. He feels that today's young people really need more life education, especially guidance on daily living habits.
"Doctor Zhao, I want to ask, is there any other risk besides anal fissure?" Li Hao looked at Dr. Zhao suspiciously, hoping to get more advice and help.
Dr. Zhao smiled and then explained, "Of course, there are other risks. Did you know that sitting for long periods of time can not only cause anal fissures, but can also cause blood clots in the veins of the lower extremities? This is because if you stay in the same position for a long time, blood circulation will be affected, especially in the legs, and the blood flow back to the heart will slow down, making it easy for blood clots to form. ”
Li Hao listened more seriously, he didn't expect that there were so many hidden health hazards behind the behavior of sitting and looking at the computer.
Dr. Zhao continued, "People who sit for long periods of time are several times more likely to suffer from venous thrombosis in the lower extremities than the general active population. ”
"Then what should I do to avoid this?" Li Hao was now more and more interested in this information, and he realized that his lifestyle really needed to be overhauled.
"First of all, you need to get up and move for at least 5 to 10 minutes every hour, walk indoors and do simple stretching exercises. This boosts blood circulation. "Dr. Zhao offers simple and practical advice. "Secondly, drink plenty of water, which keeps your blood running to a normal level. ”
Li Hao nodded in understanding, and he decided to implement this suggestion from today. Li Hao carefully recorded these suggestions, and he felt that he had received valuable health information.
In this conversation, Li Hao not only learned about the health risks that come with sitting too long, but also learned how to prevent these problems through simple daily activities.
Li Hao is very satisfied, and he believes that this trip to the hospital not only solved his immediate pain, but also provided direction for his long-term health management. He decided to share the results with his roommates when he returned, hoping to help them lead a healthier lifestyle as well.
