Through a physical examination, you can get a general understanding of your physical health, discover potential diseases in time, and intervene early to prevent the disease from worsening. However, some diseases have almost no symptoms and are often ignored by people. Once they occur, they will cause unexpected harm, and in severe cases, they can take people’s precious lives. In particular, the following common diseases are the most dangerous, and preventive measures should be taken.

What are the common silent diseases during physical examination?

1. Asymptomatic coronary heart disease

I am most afraid of sudden onset of asymptomatic coronary heart disease, which may induce acute Sudden death due to myocardial infarction, which is common in middle-aged and elderly people, is rooted in plaque on the walls of blood vessels.

Plaque rupture will cause blood coagulation function in the blood vessel, and a thrombus will be generated in just a few seconds, which will block a branch of the coronary artery and induce acute myocardial infarction. Therefore, statins should be taken correctly under the guidance of a doctor to stabilize plaques.

2. Hyperlipidemia

Lipids are essential for the body, participate in the formation of cell membranes, maintain the exchange of sodium ions and potassium ions, and provide the body with the required energy. However, the levels of triglycerides and total cholesterol in blood lipids continue to rise, and the excess lipids will gradually deposit on the blood vessel walls, making the lumen of the blood vessels gradually narrower, hardening the blood vessels, and eventually causing atherosclerosis.

Hyperlipidemia has no typical symptoms, but the damage to blood vessels is not reduced. Foods with trans fatty acids and saturated fatty acids; refrain from smoking and drinking, learn to release stress, and exercise more to lose excess fat.

3, fatty liver

Most patients with fatty liver have no obvious symptoms, but it does not mean that there is no harm. Fatty liver can develop into steatohepatitis, and even progress to liver fibrosis or liver cirrhosis. Fatty liver not only damages the liver, but also increases the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease. Patients with mild fatty liver should actively adjust their lifestyle, and patients with moderate to severe fatty liver should also actively cooperate with doctors for treatment.

4. Adaptive hypertension

Generally, when blood pressure increases, it can be caused by cerebrovascular Tinnitus, dizziness, or headache caused by spasm can be easily detected early. What is scary is adaptive hypertension. The blood pressure rises slowly, and when the blood pressure rises to a certain level, it still cannot be felt. If the blood pressure is not controlled in time, it will induce stroke, myocardial infarction, fundus hemorrhage or renal failure. Therefore, when checking blood pressure, it is necessary to take antihypertensive drugs regularly and quantitatively according to the doctor’s order, and monitor blood pressure frequently.

5. Asymptomatic ulcers

Stomach or duodenal ulcers do not have symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, epigastric discomfort, and vomiting, so they cannot be detected early. Left unchecked can cause gastrointestinal bleeding or perforation of the gastrointestinal tract, which can lead to acute abdomen. It is worth noting that gastric ulcers that have not healed for 3 months are very likely to transform into gastric cancer.

6. Adenomatous polyps

Polyps are divided into inflammatory and adenomatous polyps Yes, the latter is a precancerous lesion, especially when the patient is older, has a large number of polyps and the diameter is more than one centimeter in diameter, and the risk is highest. In this case, early resection is required to avoid cancer to the greatest extent.

Message from the doctor

It should be timely in daily life Correct bad habits, refuse smoking and drinking, and ensure regular sleep. Regularly go to the hospital for a comprehensive physical examination, which can detect related diseases in time; once a disease is diagnosed, no matter whether there are symptoms or not, you should actively cooperate with the treatment, and at the same time, you can review the treatment effect regularly.
