At the recent national commemoration of the 10th anniversary of male health, experts pointed out that when it comes to male health, many people first think of male reproductive health, which seems to have become a consensus. However, in reality, it is not limited to this. Male health is a big concept, including physical, psychological, and social adaptability, and the public should not only focus on issues such as ED and prostate gland. Physiology and psychology are interdependent and can interact with each other, interact.
Male health is not just reproductive health
Guan Zhichen, director of the Department of Surgery, Shenzhen Hospital, Peking University, pointed out, "Male health is actually a big concept, including a lot of content. However, in our urology department, there are male reproductive diseases, especially diseases of male sexual function, which are the most prominent manifestations. Of course, there are other combined diseases, including some psychological diseases, which are all within the scope of male health.". In addition to those pathological diseases, such as liver cancer or lung cancer, male health is also related to reproduction, urinary tract, and family well-being. A major aspect of this aspect is currently a focus of attention. Currently, there are specialized male departments in many cities, which mainly include some categories of male diseases that do not require surgery to solve.
Professor Zhu Jichuan, the chief physician of urology at Peking University People's Hospital and the andrology branch of the Chinese Medical Association, also stated that early treatment can solve systemic health problems related to ED, including psychological problems, as early as possible, which is beneficial not only for the treatment of ED, but also for "general health.". This idea should be taught to the public.
It's never too late to watch ED
At the 10th anniversary of the founding of the National Family Planning Commission's Men's Health Day and the 10th anniversary of Pfizer's support for China's men's health cause, Professor Wang Xiaofeng, a physician in charge of urology at the Andrology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association and the People's Hospital of Peking University, gave such a figure that the overall prevalence rate of male ED in mainland China has reached 26.1%. He said that one of the most important manifestations of male health problems is the occurrence of ED, The prevalence rate for people over 40 years of age is as high as 40.2%.
Wang Xiaofeng introduced that there are four main reasons for ED: first, vascular diseases; Second, caused by nervous system diseases; Third, caused by endocrine disorders; Fourth, due to psychological reasons. "Age is a very important factor, and the incidence of ED increases with age. In addition, some poor lifestyle habits, such as drinking, smoking, and staying up late, can cause ED.".
Guan Zhichen, director of the surgical teaching and research department of Peking University Shenzhen Hospital, introduced that ED problems exist in different age groups, and the incidence of problems is the same. The majority of young people's illnesses are mainly psychological, including work pressure, social pressure, and family pressure. Organic factors are more common among middle-aged and elderly people over 45 years old. What is organic? It refers to sexual dysfunction caused by insufficient arterial blood supply, diabetes, traumatic diseases and various diseases. In addition, Zhu Jichuan believes that there may be some differences in ED problems among different age groups, but as long as you are aware of the problem, it is not too late to go to the hospital for consultation, and it does not matter if you go to see ED in your 70s.
Behind the marital conflict is the issue of "sex"
Wang Jianyi, an EAP signing consultant and psychometrist at the Institute of Psychology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that a large number of cases tell us that there is actually a "sex" problem behind the conflicts between marriage and family, This issue cannot be avoided. On sexual issues, male sexual health (mainly referred to as erectile dysfunction, or ED) has an important relationship with family harmony, "Many people are not necessarily born with ED, and not everyone has psychogenic mental illness or serious psychogenic problems. More people's psychological and physical problems arise from various pressures during their growth, such as car accidents, major diseases, or male physical problems caused by various misfortunes."
Wang Jianyi said, "In our program, there have been many couples who want to divorce, but it has never been said that too many divorces are due to sexual demands from their husbands or wives, often due to problems with one party, such as the man, leading to the divorce of their wives. A couple opened a business in Beijing, with very good business and a good couple of children. The husband was unwilling to have sex with his wife, and he felt that his time was too short.", "The wife is dissatisfied, and every time she complains, she scolds him, and the more she scolds him, the more she evades him, the more she evades him, the more she pursues him. Later, the husband doesn't go home. The wife wonders if the husband has an affair, and if he doesn't love himself, which leads to poor behavior, leading to increasingly estranged couples, psychological distance, and emotional distance. The wife complains to the program, which means to investigate whether the husband has a psychological problem.", "There is still a physiological problem."
Whether ED is a barometer of male health
The untimely treatment of ED patients not only affects men's own health, but also endangers the stability of their relationships and marriages. According to survey data, the age group of ED patients in outpatient clinics in China is mainly between 30 and 50 years old, and the older the age, the higher the prevalence rate. In addition, ED is also a barometer of male health.
Professor Jiang Hui, Executive Director of the Andrology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, Executive Director of the Chinese Sex Society, and Director of the Andrology Department of the Third Hospital of Peking University, introduced that in 2010, the latest data published by the American Journal of Cardiology showed that the risk of cardiovascular and coronary heart disease in patients with ED was 37%, while the risk of cardiovascular and coronary heart disease in patients without ED was 17%, a difference of 20%. Therefore, among the known risks of coronary heart disease, in addition to hypertension, smoking, and dyslipidemia, ED is also an important inducement, which can increase the risk of coronary heart disease by 40%. "Therefore, foreign countries believe that if this person has ED, he must be checked in advance. He may not have hypertension, diabetes, etc. at that time, but if he has a family history or poor living habits, early health intervention can delay the occurrence of hypertension and diabetes for four or five years." Jiang Hui said.
