Seventy percent of men don't care about men's health.
A "Men's Health Day Survey" was conducted, and the results showed that 70% of men did not know about Men's Health Day. Eighty percent of urban men are in a sub-health state; Many men don't know that sitting for a long time is easy to get prostatitis; More men are afraid or embarrassed to let people know that they have male diseases; Suffering from genitourinary diseases, many men will look up their own information or find other patients to buy medicine for self-treatment, and there are not a few who think it is difficult to talk about it without treatment. This shows that most men generally lack health knowledge, especially reproductive health knowledge, and their awareness of disease prevention is seriously insufficient.
Therefore, on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of Men's Health Day, the author visited Shanghai Kowloon Men's Hospital and interviewed some male doctors such as Hu Defu to find out what new directions Shanghai has in promoting men's reproductive health.
Dr. Hu Defu is currently the director of andrology in Shanghai Kowloon Men's Hospital. He has been engaged in urology for 20 years and worked as a urologist in several tertiary hospitals in China. Rich clinical experience and teaching level in andrology. He has profound knowledge in the diagnosis and treatment of male infertility, genitourinary tract infection, sexual dysfunction (impotence, premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction) and acute and chronic prostatitis, and is a senior physician in the field of male reproductive health in China.
He told the author that male reproductive health is not only infertility, impotence or prostatitis, but also related to the quality of life of men and the happy life of families. Reproductive health is the core issue of men's health, which is universal. Men of different ages have different reproductive health problems, and everyone can't escape. Under the heavy burden of today's fierce competition, men's physical and mental pain and mental anxiety should be widely concerned.
Doctors say that men who are unfortunately caught in these problems must change their ideas if they want to continue to be happy. First of all, they must pay attention to male reproductive health.
Minor ailments delayed the best treatment opportunity.
According to Dr. Hu Defu, Shanghai is one of the cities with high incidence of male diseases in China, but it is also one of the most suitable cities for conducting research on male reproductive health. Shanghai Jiulong andrology hospital is the first specialized hospital in Shanghai to carry out diagnosis and treatment of andrology diseases, and it is a welfare hospital designated by the Hong Kong Chamber of Commerce. The team of male doctors is experienced. The patients in Shanghai Kowloon Men's Hospital have many diseases and complicated conditions. This hospital is one of the best hospitals in Shanghai to carry out research and analysis on male reproductive health. They have studied thousands of clinical cases of andrology and accumulated valuable first-hand information on the research of male reproductive health.
The doctor showed me the data released by the National Health Organization: On average, 25,000 people get married every day in China, and they will face reproductive health problems. There are 52,000 babies born every day in China, but there are 800,000 to 1 10,000 disabled babies born every year, which are related to reproductive health. According to the statistics of the World Health Organization, reproductive diseases account for 1/5 of the total number of diseases. If the reproductive health problem is solved, the total number of diseases in China will be reduced 1/5. Reproductive health is a very important issue in China. It is no longer a person's private affair, it has a certain sociality, and it is related to responsibility and human rights. Therefore, reproductive health is not only a disease problem, but also a healthy concept and an important aspect to measure the quality of life.
The consultation rate of reproductive health is only 1/6 for women, and 80% of seriously ill men admit that it is because they did not see a doctor in time.
At present, there are not many andrology departments in major hospitals in China, and there are more than 70 kinds of andrology diseases/kloc-0, of which more than 30 kinds are frequently-occurring diseases, but andrology has not reached Grade III, which is a shortcoming. There are no real male hospitals in many areas. So many diseases of andrology belong to urology, but andrology is neglected in urology. In addition, if male patients can't "meet" male doctors, it will be difficult to solve their practical problems. Therefore, the diagnosis and treatment of andrology urgently needs more scientific professional subdivision.
Men should pay more attention to men's health, not only physical health, but also psychological, family and social harmony. Because, in most cases, sexual dysfunction will inevitably lead to psychological disorders, which will lead to family and social problems. If only the disease itself is targeted, the therapeutic effect is often limited.
Dr. Hu Defu said that they also paid a lot for the topic of male reproductive health. As the director of urology, Hu Defu has patients to consult, subjects to study, and time to travel to other cities, communicate with dozens of domestic men and urologists, and hold research conferences and symposiums on men's health problems.
Correct evaluation of male reproductive health is the basis of proposing treatment schemes for male diseases and improving the quality of male health. We should not be careless, we should have the verification of facts and the judgment of doctors at home and abroad. He said all these efforts, though painful, were worthwhile. Maintaining male reproductive health is the responsibility of male doctors. Since you are involved in this field, you should have a sense of mission as a doctor. To his relief, more and more people are concerned about male reproductive health. In-laws often accompany their son-in-law to see a doctor, which shows that people's ideas are changing.
