The third Sunday in June every year is a festival for all fathers in the world. In our eyes, father is always the pillar of the family. But it is such a strong father who often doesn't take physical ailments and pains to heart, and his health is gradually ignored. Both young fathers who are new fathers and old fathers who are in their twilight years should take care of themselves, because some diseases can steal health inadvertently. We should not only pay attention to father's health on Father's Day, but also give him more considerate care in peacetime.

"save" for future health
Dad's case: 25-year-old Mr. Lin 1 month ago had a baby. After a few days, he gradually became depressed and anxious, not to mention loss of appetite and frequent insomnia. Mr. Lin was diagnosed as "postpartum depression" related to his wife's delivery by the hospital. Mr. Lin said that after giving birth to the child, his wife almost devoted all her energy to the child, which was obviously not as considerate as before. However, he felt that the pressure of life doubled, and the increased economic expenses worried him, and life suddenly lost its former fun.
Experts suggest that postpartum depression mostly occurs in women, which is caused by changes in postpartum endocrine system. Men, such as Mr. Lin, also have depressive symptoms. So don't break up with your former friends just because you have children, and live a two-point life from home to work all day. Young fathers also need their own time and space. At an appropriate time, invite some good friends to play tennis or watch movies with your wife. To solve the economic pressure, we need to develop good consumption habits and make reasonable financial planning according to our own situation. In this respect, it seems that male thinking will play a greater role. Adjust your mentality in time and take taking care of children as a pleasure and responsibility.

You should pay more attention to your health.
Dad's case: Mr. Tian, 42, runs an online consulting company by himself. Every day's entertainment made him step into the ranks of "three highs" early, and his original symmetrical figure was gradually replaced by a beer belly when he was driving. Although Mr. Tian has a routine physical examination every year, fatty liver is getting more and more serious, and all levels of his body are full and close to danger. "I want to control alcohol and tobacco, but there is no such condition at all. It is inevitable to socialize with customers, so my physical condition is getting worse and worse. " Mr. Tian told reporters.
Experts suggest that premature suffering from "three highs" is closely related to daily diet. Due to the large intake of oil and lack of proper exercise, it is not difficult to form the physical state of some elite men. Waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) can be used to reflect the distribution of human body fat in medicine. The World Health Organization usually uses it to measure whether a person is obese or healthy. It is of great significance for adults' physique, health and longevity to maintain an appropriate hip and waist ratio. Many studies have proved that this ratio is closely related to the incidence of cardiovascular disease. The standard waist-hip ratio is less than 0.8 for men and 0.7 for women. According to the standard recommended by American Sports Medicine Association 1997, WHR > 0.95 for men and WHR > 0.86 for women are the data of cardiovascular risk. So if dad's waist-hip ratio is too large, don't take it seriously. These are all potential pathogenic factors of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. In addition, a light diet and proper exercise not only help to improve the above situation, but also prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. And exercise itself is a good way to relieve stress.

Don't take things that are hard to say seriously.
Dad's case: Mr. Li, who is in his 500 s, is not only bald, but also depressed recently, and sometimes even loses his temper inexplicably. What worries his family even more is that because he sits all day, Mr. Li is now urinating abnormally. Sometimes he has to go to the toilet soon, and sometimes he has trouble urinating and urinating. The more he is like this, the more uneasy Mr. Li is, and the atmosphere at home is always gloomy.
Experts suggest that "menopause" seems to be a proper term for middle-aged women for a long time. In fact, in recent years, andrologists all over the world generally believe that men also have menopause, which is manifested in lack of self-confidence, depression, fatigue, sexual dysfunction, obesity, osteoporosis and muscle relaxation. According to experts, male androgens decrease at an annual rate of 1%-2% after the age of 30, and androgens around the age of 50 tend to decrease by 30% compared with the peak period. So the androgen deficiency syndrome represented by the above symptoms appeared, which is called "male menopause" in the medical field. Good psychological adjustment, physical exercise, diet adjustment and moderate sexual life can prevent the occurrence of male menopause. Once the problem already exists, don't take androgen excessively, but choose a more scientific and mild comprehensive treatment.
Zhang Yaqiang, chairman of the urology Committee of the Chinese Association of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, said that if the father has obvious frequent urination, he should pay attention to whether he has prostatic hypertrophy. With the increase of age, 90% of men will develop prostatic hypertrophy, that is, "adenoma", which may cause urinary tract infection and the formation of stones, but the proportion of cancer is only about 1%. The proportion of bladder cancer over 50 years old will increase with age; Drinking less water or holding urine during the day will directly affect the concentration of urine in the bladder, create conditions for bacteria to multiply in the bladder and increase the chance of developing bladder cancer.

Make an appointment with old friends and exercise regularly.
The retired father has now become a "nanny" for his grandchildren and is still working hard for them. At the same time, as the elderly, some geriatric diseases have gradually emerged. "I can't accept being old!" This is the sigh of many old fathers.
Dad's case: after retirement, Mr. Zhang Lao took on the burden of looking after his grandson at home. He not only takes his grandson for a walk every day, but also walks around his ass at home. Sometimes bending over for a long time will make you feel dizzy. His wife also advised him to exercise more with other old people and play chess, but Mr. Zhang still put his little grandson first, fearing that the child would hit him and didn't care about his health.
Experts suggest that the elderly should remember to protect their health when they are old, and don't take on too many housework, especially taking care of children. Many elderly people suffer from health problems such as damaged bones and muscles due to overwork in caring for their children. The next question may cost the child more financially. Of course, the elderly have nothing to do on weekdays, and too much leisure life may also make them a little overwhelmed. The health care doctor said that in addition to doing some minor housework properly, you might as well ask your old friends to take part in exercise together, which not only kills your leisure time, but also strengthens your physique.
