How is diabetes defined in Chinese medicine and western medicine respectively? In our Chinese medicine, "quenching thirst" is diabetes today. Diabetes was first seen in Huangdi Neijing. Strange disease. Quenching thirst: lung heat damages body fluid, and thirst and drinking more are the upper elimination; Stomach fire is strong, and the valley is hungry. The kidney is not connected with water, and the frequency of urination is downward. Lung dryness, stomach heat and kidney deficiency can occur at the same time, or focus on them, leading to quenching thirst, but diseases are indispensable.
The definition of diabetes in western medicine is more targeted. The cause of diabetes is the absolute or relative lack of insulin in human body, which leads to the increase of glucose concentration in blood, and then a large amount of sugar is discharged from urine, resulting in a series of symptoms such as polydipsia, polyuria, polyphagia, emaciation, dizziness and fatigue.
Diabetes is divided into two types: 1 type and type 2. In general, type 1 diabetes mostly occurs in young people, accounting for about one tenth. The vast majority of diabetic patients are type 2, and the onset age is usually after 35 years old, accounting for about 90% of the total number of patients. The ability of these patients to produce insulin has not been completely lost, and some patients even produce too much insulin, but the effect of insulin action is greatly reduced, so these patients belong to the relative lack of insulin.
What effects will male diabetic patients have on physiological function? It is also very common for male diabetic patients to have physiological dysfunction. The characteristics of such symptoms are gradual, so the onset is relatively hidden and should not be detected in the early stage. The early manifestation is that the time required for erection is prolonged or shortened, or other symptoms.
Diabetes causes some physical problems in male friends. The specific reason is not completely clear, but it may be related to the following factors:
1, hyperglycemia in diabetes will cause certain damage to large and small blood vessels in the whole body. When the local blood vessels in the lower body are affected by pathological changes, the external reproductive organs will not be congested normally, and some troublesome problems will occur.
2. Hyperglycemia can also lead to neurological diseases in patients. If pelvic autonomic nerve is involved, it is easy to have symptoms such as retrograde nocturnal emission.
3. Diabetic patients are often accompanied by hypertension, coronary heart disease and cerebrovascular disease. Suffering from various diseases, it is inevitable to take some drugs often. Besides, due to various diseases, people will be depressed and depressed. Under the dual influence of drugs and self-depression, some physiological diseases will appear.
Although various symptoms caused by diabetes are common in clinic, only a few people can actually go to the hospital for physical examination. Mainly the influence of ideas. In this regard, I still hope that friends suffering from this disease can put their minds right, and this disease is nothing to be ashamed of. Should be actively treated.
So, what problems should we pay attention to for male friends with diabetes? Diabetic patients should follow the following principles in their lives:
Principle 1. Eat according to the illness, try to eat low-calorie foods and eat more vegetables with low sugar content. If possible, eat a little more, which can reduce the sugar load of each meal.
