According to the latest report from Taiwan’s United News, a couple from Connecticut, United States, joined hands and walked through a decades-long marriage and raised two daughters. But their dreams were unpredictable. Both of them were actually diagnosed with breast cancer.
what? Men also get breast cancer? That's right, these are the exclusive diseases that women think are women, and men also get! In addition, what other "women's diseases" will be wrapped around men?
Experts interviewed

Breast disease
Men also have nipples and breast tissue, so they also suffer from breast diseases. "The most common is hyperplasia of the breast, especially in puberty, older men and men with liver disease."
Doctor Pingping Ping, deputy director of the Beijing Military Region General Hospital Breast Disease Diagnosis and Treatment Center, said that if males consciously have unilateral or bilateral breast enlargement, touch nodules, accompanied by soreness or tenderness during activities, there may be breast hyperplasia, Should go to the hospital.
Breast cancer is no longer the "exclusive territory" of women, and men's breast cancer is often more dangerous. The age of general onset, late stage of disease, and high rate of lymph node metastasis are worse than women.
Countermeasures
Fan Ping suggested that patients with breast hyperplasia should exercise more, do not make up supplements, and try not to use hormones. At the same time, avoid drinking and eating spicy foods and seafood.
Migraine
Migraine has always been a "favorable factor" for women, and it is related to the fluctuation of estrogen and progesterone levels in women.
A US study has shown that about 6% of men suffer from migraines, especially in men with thicker waists, and the proportion of migraine is 20%. Regular fatigue, poor speech, and uncontrollable yawns are the three precursors to migraines.
Countermeasures
Tsinghua University Yuquan Hospital, Department of Neurology and Chief Physician Tong Yichao suggested that eating cereals, soy and other foods rich in B vitamins can relieve stress and ease emotions.
The American Headache Foundation recommends adding 500-750 milligrams of magnesium a day and eating more sunflowers, almonds, cashews, hazelnuts, etc., and can also shut out migraines. In addition, jogging, cycling and swimming are also effective treatments.
Mycotic vaginitis
About 1/2 of men who have sexual contact with women who suffer from mycotic vaginitis are infected. Similarly, there are more than 20 kinds of diseases such as candidal vaginitis, trichomoniasis, and bacterial vaginosis. These diseases can be repeatedly infected among husbands and wives, also known as the "ping-pong effect."
Countermeasures
As long as one husband and wife have urogenital diseases, the other half should also seek medical advice. Don't be in the same room before the illness is cured, or use condoms strictly.
In addition to "sex isolation," it is also necessary to separate the household appliances, even if basins, bidets, towels, bath towels and bedding are used separately.
Osteoporosis
For men, bones are also "accidents." Xu Wei, chief physician of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Beijing Union Medical College Hospital, said: "Traditionally, osteoporosis is a 'gynecological disease' in people's eyes. In fact, men also have osteoporosis, and the resulting disability rate and death. The rate is even higher than women."
Men who regularly smoke and drink alcohol may cause a decrease in bone density and lead to osteoporosis. In addition, there are family history of genetic diseases, suffering from rheumatoid diseases and long-term use of glucocorticoids and other drugs, is also a cause of osteoporosis in men. Countermeasures
Usually should eat calcium-containing dairy products, eat broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage and other vegetables, eat fish at least once a week.
It is best to spend 15 to 45 minutes a day in the sun outdoors to stimulate the body to produce vitamin D. Men over the age of 40 should also visit the hospital regularly for bone density testing every year.
Depression
Depression is often seen as a typical female mental illness. In fact, men are the biggest "victim" of depression.
When a man is depressed, he does not vent like a woman but is buried deeper, which means that depression is not easy to detect. They know they have depression and are generally reluctant to tell others or receive treatment.
The data shows that only one-third of men go to see a doctor. They are more likely to indulge in alcohol to anesthetize themselves, and the suicide rate is four times higher than that of women.
Countermeasures
The American Psychological Association has opened a "self-help" list for men:
1. Do not blame yourself. Depression does not mean cowardice. It is only a small cold in the mind. When you are depressed, you can find trusted friends and family members to talk to.
2. Simplify life. If you ask yourself to do a lot of things at the same time or finish a task quickly, you may feel powerless and become more frustrated.
3. Participate in some activities that are good at allowing you to have a sense of accomplishment.
4. Be alert to recurrence signals. If you wake up early, have less appetite than usual, feel particularly annoyed, and are indifferent to anything, you should pay special attention to it.
Menopause syndrome
Li Hongjun, chief physician of the Department of Urology at Beijing Union Medical College Hospital, said that men also have menopause. According to statistics, nearly 40 percent of 40-70-year-old men will have menopausal symptoms.
Because of the complex and diverse symptoms, men's menopause is a new concept. Therefore, many patients often misunderstand the "section." For example, because the oral mucous membrane falls off and goes to the stomatology department, there is palpitations, memory loss and other symptoms but hang neurology.
Countermeasures
A study in Japan shows that people who exercise regularly will have late menopause.
In addition, people can eat more than 5 kinds of food every day: middle-aged, barley, soybeans, yams, burdock and honey. Among them, yam and yam can be cooked with sweet potatoes and other porridge as a daily breakfast. Drink a cup of royal jelly every morning, add pollen and honey to taste. It should also ensure adequate sleep and maintain an optimistic and peaceful mood.
Varicose veins
Clinically, there are more women with varicose veins, which is related to their larger pelvis, excessive curvature of the blood vessel structure, and congestion of the pelvic veins caused by the menstrual period, pregnancy, and menopause.
However, once men suffer from varicose veins, the symptoms are more severe. This is because thick leg hairs obscure the symptoms, causing them to often ignore the appearance of the disease and delay treatment.
According to statistics, about 10% -15% of men will have different degrees of leg varicose veins after the age of 40.
Countermeasures
Professor Chen Shuchang, Honorary Chairman of the Chinese Medical Association's Peripheral Vascular Disease Branch, suggested that men should avoid standing and sitting for a long time. Repeated contraction and relaxation of any type of calf muscle can promote blood flow back; appropriate elastic stockings can be used to properly compress the lower limbs' superficial veins. In order to inhibit the venous hypertension; do not use hot feet or sauna, high temperature easy to make the leg blood vessels dilate, resulting in poor return; active treatment of intra-abdominal pressure caused by increased disease, such as constipation, chronic lung disease.
Finally, controlling weight and avoiding obesity can also prevent the occurrence of varicose veins.
