Diseases that seem Harmless, but should not ignore
At first it seems unimportant. That’s why we get used to living with them. One mistake, since some may be symptoms of serious health problems that the doctor must diagnose.
Many of us have experienced unexplained pain in various parts of the body or sensations of physical and mental malaise without realizing why, but few are those who seek a doctor to understand the reasons for these maladies. Marta, 29, is an example that well depicts the risks of not consulting a specialist. Their permanent stomach pains attributed them to quick meals and the time-out of the same. Only when it started to get worse did she decide to go to a doctor who detected a chronic illness that could be cured if she had been diagnosed in time.
Like Marta, there are many women who have become accustomed to living with their illnesses without going to the doctor and with this they make a triple mistake: Their quality of life decreases;
They suffer unnecessarily;
In some cases, if no action is taken, serious side effects may occur in the future.
A BALL IN THE STOMACH
Symptoms: Swelling and gas after meals, aches, slow digestion, constipation or diarrhea. These symptoms can last for weeks or months, disappear for a while and come back again.
What it can be: Irritable bowel syndrome. It is a problem of the digestive system that affects some young people, due to a hypersensitivity of the intestinal tract. It worsens in times of greatest stress or when you have affective problems.
How to solve: You have to go to the doctor. This syndrome is treated with a proper diet (prescribed by the doctor), special medicines for pain and gas and some breathing exercises and muscle relaxation to prevent their reappearance in heights of greater stress.
MESSAGES TOO PAINFUL
Symptoms: Cramp and very severe pain on the days of menstruation. Many women assume that it is normal, however, when the period is too painful, the suffering lasts for two or three days and does not go away with painkillers or the pill. In some cases, sexual intercourse is also painful, so there is likely to be a health problem.
What it can be: An endometriosis. The uterus is covered by a mucosa (the endometrium) that varies in thickness according to the phases of the menstrual cycle and whose late layers are expelled every month with menstrual bleeding. In some women, this mucosa begins to develop unbalanced and invades other areas of the genital tract (ovaries, fallopian tubes.). The causes are not known, but some experts admit that it is a kind of 'reversed menstruation'.
How to solve: You should consult a gynecologist as soon as possible, because endometriosis can cause infertility. In many cases, the specialist will take the pill for several months at a time, without rest, to reduce the number of rules and allow the mucosal growth to regain balance. In extreme cases, only surgery can remove the invading tissue.
WEAKNESS AND WEAKNESSES
Symptoms: A sudden weakness, accompanied by a slight nausea, which only occurs when you have not eaten for a few hours. Of course it is normal to feel a certain weakness when you have an empty stomach, however, if you feel these symptoms more than eight times a month, you should be on the alert.
What it can be: A low blood sugar. Many women suffer this type of problem caused by strict and unhealthy dieting diets.
How to solve: At the time of breakage, you should have a coffee with sugar, accompanied by a fruit or a wafer, to rebalance the blood glucose level. Then the problem is avoided by eating five or six times a day, although small amounts. It is advisable to increase the daily diet of fruit, carbohydrates (bread, cereals and rice) and proteins. Refined sweets (cakes, sweets and pastries) and alcohol should be avoided. If dizziness persists, if you feel weak and confused, you should go to the doctor immediately or you may experience severe hypoglycemia.
LIMITATION OF MOVEMENTS
Symptoms: Pains that appears one or two hours after sitting at the desk, with chairs too high or too low in relation to the computer.
What can be: Bad positioning not only of the person himself or the chair? After a few hours, these pains become twitches, which limit the movements of the thorax. Lumbar pain is also reflected in the lower limbs and, if you have poor venous circulation, you may end up with swollen feet, cramps and malaise at the end of the day.
How to solve: Gymnastics and correction of the position, not only of the chair and desk but also of the viewfinder. A good position for writing is essential. The handle holding the mouse should be supported by a fist of its own, which you buy at computer stores.
CELLULITE AND OBESITY
Symptoms: The skin looks like orange peel, very sensitive and painful, so that it bruises frequently, joining the unaesthetic part of not being able to enter the pants. These symptoms can appear at any age, even in people who are thin and very young.
What can be: It is necessarily due to poor diet. Usually people leave home without breakfast or drink only a glass of milk and spend many hours without eating, which is wrong.
How to solve: A good breakfast should be taken: homemade bread with ham, sausage or chorizo, scrambled egg without fat, coffee, tea or milk. If you eat fruit, better yet. By mid-morning you should take a second, lighter breakfast. At lunch: soup and cooked food, preferably stewed or stewed made with olive oil, bean stew, fish stew or Planter with many carbohydrates and little meat or fish. In the afternoon, light snacks, and in the evening, soup and fruit. The Mediterranean diet is ideal. If good nutrition does not fully solve the problem, you can turn to mesotherapy.
STRESS
Symptoms: Difficulty in handling the hectic life of everyday life. Anxiety, nervousness, irritation, difficulty sleeping and loss of self-esteem.
What it can be: Stress is almost always about the kind of life each person has. Professional activity and family life end up being the driving force behind this stress. And, to aggravate all this, there is no quality of life in the big cities. There's still time to talk to friends ...
How to solve: The rigidity of schedules is the basis of the loss of quality of life of people. For this, it is enough that the workers are held accountable. Better schedules mean more leisure time, which would allow women to treat their appearance, go to the gym or have time for a relaxing massage.
PAIN IN THE MAXILLARY
Symptoms: If you feel pain for a long time in the anterior part of the jaw, if it is difficult to chew and you have problems opening and closing the mouth, it is not a coincidental infection.
What it can be: A jaw pain that causes mobility problems, as long as you do not have a fever or focus on a specific point, may be only related to sleeping with your teeth too tight. This unconscious habit is aggravated when we are nervous or worried. In some cases, it is symptomatic of the arthritis principle.
How to solve: A rubber device is sold at the pharmacy to avoid over-tightening the jaws during the night. It is recommended that you do some breathing exercises and ask your dentist to make sure you have no problems with your teeth or gums.
