Most of these 9 diseases found during physical examinations do not need to be treated! Don’t scare yourself

Xiaoliang (pseudonym) works for a foreign company. Recently, the company organized a health and welfare check-up for all employees. During a routine electrocardiogram, he was found to have sinus arrhythmia.

This result made Xiaoliang very nervous and anxious, so he quickly consulted a doctor: "Doctor, please take a look at my medical report. Is my heart sick?

No wonder I always feel upset and palpitating recently. Sometimes I feel my heart beating violently, and sometimes I feel it beating slowly. It turns out that..."

The doctor took Xiaoliang's report and said to him with a smile, "Young man, don't be nervous and don't scare yourself. There is nothing wrong with your body.

Sinus arrhythmia is a very common "disease" that many people have. For example, strenuous exercise and emotional fluctuations can cause sinus arrhythmia. Generally, it does not require treatment, so don't worry! "

I believe many people have had experiences similar to Xiaoliang's. When they open the physical examination report and see those professional medical terms such as "nodules", "tumors" and "cysts", they become extremely nervous and feel that danger is imminent.

In fact, many diseases do not require treatment at all, they just have scary names.

01

Breast hyperplasia

Just pay attention to regular review

Medically, most breast hyperplasia is a normal physiological phenomenon and part of the physiological reaction.

The most typical case is breast hyperplasia caused by menstruation. Before menstruation, women’s breasts will feel particularly uncomfortable, swollen and a little painful, but after the "period", the swelling and pain will suddenly disappear.

In addition, if you often wear too tight underwear, or are depressed and under a lot of mental stress recently, you are also prone to short-term breast hyperplasia.

Therefore, breast hyperplasia is not a disease. Strictly speaking, breast hyperplasia does not require treatment. Only when atypical hyperplasia occurs can breast hyperplasia be considered a disease.

The identification of atypical hyperplasia often requires very professional examinations, such as ultrasound, mammography, X-rays, and even magnetic resonance imaging.

02

Sinus arrhythmia

Pay more attention to observation

Sinus arrhythmia is one of the most common arrhythmias in clinical practice.

Sinus arrhythmia may be related to excessive physical fatigue, lack of sleep, improper diet, etc. As long as you improve your lifestyle habits, the symptoms of sinus arrhythmia will recover.

Generally speaking, if the person is normal and has no clinical symptoms of sinus arrhythmia, he or she can usually be observed and does not need treatment.

However, if sinus arrhythmia is caused by other primary diseases, such as heart failure, myocarditis, etc., the primary disease needs to be actively treated. If there is no primary disease, and it is just sinus arrhythmia, no treatment is required.

03

Cervical erosion

It's just that the name sounds intimidating.

The word "erosion" makes many people feel panic, and disgusting images may appear in their minds, making them think that this is a very serious disease.

Cervical erosion is not really rotten. It is just a mistake in the history of medical terminology.

The name "cervical erosion" has been cancelled internationally and has also been cancelled in our textbooks, so don't be fooled anymore!

Cervical erosion currently refers to cervical columnar epithelium ectopia, which is a normal physiological change in women. It cannot be called a disease and generally does not require treatment.

The so-called cervical columnar epithelium ectopia is the migration of the single-layer columnar epithelium of the cervical canal to the external os of the cervix. Because the columnar epithelium is thin, the underlying stroma is transparent and red to the naked eye, and it looks like erosion to the naked eye. It has now been made clear that it is not true erosion caused by pathological epithelial ulcer loss, but only a clinical sign.

Cervical columnar epithelium ectopia is mostly seen in adolescent women of childbearing age, when estrogen levels are high and they take oral contraceptives or are pregnant. Due to the effect of estrogen, the squamous-columnar junction moves outward and the cervix takes on an erosive appearance.

Generally speaking, if there are no abnormalities in the results of cytology and HPV testing, no special treatment is required.

04

Uterine fibroids

Most of them are fine.

The word "tumor" makes many people think of the word "cancer". In fact, this tumor is not that tumor. Uterine fibroids are benign.

Uterine fibroids are the most common benign tumor of the female reproductive organs and one of the most common tumors in the human body. They are also called fibroids.

In clinical practice, most uterine fibroids do not require special treatment. If the fibroids are very small and do not affect menstruation or pregnancy, they can be observed dynamically. After menopause, the fibroids will gradually shrink or even disappear as hormone levels change.

If the fibroids are relatively small, the patient has no obvious symptoms, and the fibroids show no signs of malignancy, the patient can temporarily not receive treatment and only require regular B-ultrasound examinations every 3-6 months.

If the uterine fibroids are large, such as a single uterine fibroid with a diameter of more than 5 cm, and grow rapidly, causing an increase in menstrual volume or a prolonged menstrual period, surgical removal is recommended.

05

hemorrhoid

Almost everyone has

In my country, hemorrhoids are the most common anorectal disease, and there is a saying that "nine out of ten men have hemorrhoids" and "ten out of ten women have hemorrhoids".

According to a survey, 70% to 80% of people over 25 years old suffer from hemorrhoids, and the rate of hemorrhoids in people aged 40 to 50 is as high as 90%.

The formation of hemorrhoids is mainly due to the hypertrophy and displacement of the anal cushions, coupled with blood stasis in the subcutaneous vascular plexus of the anus.

The currently recognized principle for the treatment of hemorrhoids is that hemorrhoids without symptoms do not require treatment. There is no local pain, no clinical symptoms such as bleeding, hemorrhoid prolapse, or short-term stage 1 or 2 hemorrhoids. There is no need to make drastic changes in treatment and close observation is sufficient.

Pay attention to adjusting your diet at ordinary times, such as eating less spicy and irritating foods, drinking more water, and eating more fruits to ensure smooth bowel movements; at the same time, avoid standing or sitting for a long time, playing with mobile phones in the toilet, or squatting for an hour or two to prevent hemorrhoids from worsening.

If hemorrhoids show symptoms such as pain, bleeding, and frequent prolapse of hemorrhoids, you can take local anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs to promote recovery. In severe cases, surgical treatment can be performed.

06

Premature heart beats

No symptoms, no treatment

Premature heart beats are a type of premature ectopic heart beats, which are heart beats that occur earlier than normal.

In clinical practice, premature heart beats are very common. Premature heart beats themselves are not a disease, but are often a symptom of other heart problems.

If premature beats are detected during a physical examination and the patient does not feel any discomfort and it does not affect daily life, in most cases, the patient is advised to observe and no treatment is needed.

If the patient is overly emotional, even slight exercise may trigger it. You can try beta-blockers or Chinese patent medicines.

If the patient has frequent attacks, typical symptoms, or has organic heart disease, it is recommended to see a doctor to determine the cause and provide appropriate treatment.

07

Bone spurs

It is the body's self-protection

When most people hear the word "bone spur", they want to pull it out immediately. In fact, bone spur is a physiological phenomenon, a self-protection reaction of the human body, which is created to restore the stability of the joints.

The reaction of supporting tissue occurs when the normal bone tissue of the human body weakens due to aging or when the normal bone tissue of the human body cannot withstand the pulling force of ligaments due to excessive activity.

The articular cartilage of young people is elastic and can withstand a certain amount of pressure. However, with age, the composition of the osteocartilage changes, which alters its physical ability to withstand external forces. Later, localized damage to the cartilage occurs, resulting in hardening under the cartilage. The joints are stimulated by weight and exercise, leading to excessive proliferation of the surrounding cartilage and ossification to form bone spurs.

Some people engage in sports that require special postures for a long time, which causes damage to the bones and joints due to excessive movement, thereby causing changes in soft tissues such as muscles, ligaments, fascia, and bones, thereby forming bone spurs.

Most patients with bone spurs do not have any symptoms, so there is no need to worry and generally no treatment is required.

Only a small number of bone spurs caused by pathological reasons, or bone spurs that compress important structures such as nerves or blood vessels, require treatment.

08

Pelvic effusion

A small amount can be absorbed by itself

Pelvic effusion is an imaging description of fluid in the pelvic cavity.

The abdominal and pelvic cavities of the human body carry various internal organs. In order to avoid mutual friction, the pelvic cavity will produce 2 to 3 mL of fluid, which can lubricate and protect the organs. During ovulation, due to the rupture of the follicle, the follicular fluid flows into the pelvic cavity, and a certain amount of fluid may also accumulate.

Most of these pelvic effusions are physiological pelvic effusions. If it is only 2 to 3 cm during B-ultrasound examination, and there are no uncomfortable phenomena such as abdominal pain, back pain, lower abdominal distension and pain, and increased leucorrhea, it is a physiological phenomenon and there is no need to worry. It can be absorbed by itself.

If the effusion is larger than 3 cm and there are obvious symptoms such as lower abdominal distension and pain, lumbar pain, etc., it is necessary to consider whether there are diseases such as cervicitis, peritonitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, etc. It is recommended to go to the gynecology department for timely consultation and symptomatic treatment.

09

Floaters

Normal aging of the eyes

Floaters are caused by the aging of the vitreous body, excessive eye use, fatigue, etc. As people age, many of them will experience floaters.

Clinical surveys show that the incidence of floaters in people over 60 years old is as high as over 60%.

Patients often see dark shadows such as hair, gray clouds, small circles, mosquitoes, flies, small black dots, lines, and even a picture in front of their eyes. The eyes themselves do not hurt or turn red, and do not affect vision, so this condition usually does not require treatment.

As long as you maintain it properly, adapt slowly, and learn to ignore these "mosquitoes", you will be fine.

If the symptoms are particularly noticeable or affect normal work and study, you can try medication, such as lecithin-complexed iodine tablets, or laser ablation to improve symptoms.
