There is no problem with health, but minor illnesses continue. Is it psychological illusion or functional failure? Both answers are not necessarily the same. Have you ever thought that this kind of sub-health may come from the interaction of psychological pressure and physical function. There are more internal and external reasons that play a role in health. Experts especially remind women to pay attention to health care of “seasonal psychosomatic diseases”.
Psychosomatic disease and stress disorder are often misunderstood as diseases in which psychology affects physiology. In fact, the causes of psychosomatic disease are not only psychological. Dr. he Yanling of Shanghai Psychological Consultation Center said that it is a product of the interaction of body and mind, and a disease in which physiological and psychological symptoms are interlaced. For psychosomatic diseases, it is necessary to have a holistic concept of integrating body and mind.
Both men and women have psychosomatic disorders, but some problems are more common in women, such as irritable bowel syndrome, chronic fatigue syndrome and premenstrual syndrome. If you have the following symptoms, you may as well stop and take the opportunity of changing seasons to adjust yourself so that you can enjoy life better.
diarrhea , or irritability
Sharon, who works in a real estate company, has been suffering from abdominal pain and diarrhea recently. At first, she thought that it might be due to eating discomfort, so she ate carefully. Unexpectedly, it still occurred frequently. It seems that the commonly used gastrointestinal patent medicine has no effect on it. After the doctor ruled out the possibility of organ disease and malignant disease through examination, he diagnosed her as having irritable bowel syndrome.
symptoms: constant gastrointestinal protests
Data show that about 15-22% of people suffer from irritable bowel syndrome, and more women suffer from irritable bowel syndrome than men, about 2:1, twice as many as men. Another study also shows that it mostly occurs in women from the end of adolescence to middle age, and it may occur faintly from the time of teenage girls. When the pressure of work and life increases, the symptoms are more obvious and frequent.
Chinese medicine has also long studied this. The gastrointestinal tract belongs to the spleen. People with excessive work pressure are prone to excessive anger, which affects the spleen and stomach. Depression and irritability will also make the liver Qi unhappy. Excessive liver fire will affect the spleen. Irritability is the best example. Now is the season, autumn dryness and psychological pressure are more likely to cause intestinal irritation.
prescription: enhance intestinal motility
Psychologists say that people with irritable bowel syndrome usually have high self-esteem, are prone to tension, and strive for perfection in everything. Therefore, properly adjusting eating habits and contents, relieving stress, and combining them can alleviate symptoms.
Constipation type irritable bowel syndrome can help the intestinal peristalsis and increase the number of good bacteria in the intestine by eating more high fiber foods (such as green vegetables, burdock and fungus) and yogurt. For irritable bowel syndrome with abdominal pain or diarrhea, try to avoid foods that are easy to cause flatulence (such as beans, cabbage, etc.) and dairy products, and choose water-soluble foods (such as wheat bran, brown rice and barley).
In terms of psychology, the doctor suggested “relax in addition to relax”. The fundamental way to relieve irritability is to identify one’s own stress source, occurrence time and frequency, find ways to relax or adjust, and take a deep breath, take a bath or listen to music every day.
cold , or chronic fatigue
Modern professional women race against time every day, and Vivian is no exception. As soon as I entered the company, I was very busy. Sometimes I felt very tired, headache, chest tightness and heart beating early in the morning, but I didn’t dare to stop for a moment. I was afraid that I couldn’t get off work on time, which affected my dinner party with friends. Some doctors said she just caught a cold and would recover after a few more days’ rest. Some doctors couldn’t find the reason, told her that she was not sick, and told her not to think too much, but she clearly felt uncomfortable.
symptoms: endless tiredness
Studies have found that chronic fatigue syndrome mostly occurs in office workers, and the incidence of women is higher than that of men, most of whom are women aged 25-45. In the United States, many family doctors have said that most of the patients who complain of fatigue and lack of sleep in their outpatient clinics are women. It may be that modern women have more job opportunities and have to take into account the traditional role of women. Under many pressures, fatigue symptoms appear one after another.
prescription: coexist peacefully with pressure
The most fundamental and effective way is to change your lifestyle and strike a balance between stress and relaxation.
First, give yourself enough sleep and rest. In “chronic fatigue syndrome”, Japanese psychiatrist Takashi bosaka emphasized that sleep is the most effective way to reduce “physical fatigue” and “mental fatigue”.
Modern people are busy and often reluctant to let themselves sleep more. In the end, they owe a large amount of sleep debt, which must be paid by their health. If you don’t get enough sleep or have poor sleep quality at night, you may as well take a rest in the afternoon, but don’t exceed half an hour, which will affect your normal sleep at night.
Bao Banlong especially recommends taking a warm bath, with a temperature of 38-39 degrees, 20-30 minutes at a time. Because the human autonomic nerve is divided into two systems, the sympathetic nerve and the parasympathetic nerve. When the sympathetic nerve is dominant, the body will be in a fighting state, the blood pressure will rise, and the heartbeat will accelerate; When the parasympathetic nerve is dominant, the blood pressure will be lowered, the heartbeat and pulse will be slower, and the whole person’s mood will be more stable. Taking a warm bath can make the parasympathetic nerves predominate.
endocrine disorder or premenstrual syndrome
Charie hates the days before the “old friends” visit every month. Her limbs are still prone to swelling, and her lower abdomen and chest are swollen. She can’t help eating to satisfy her appetite. Until the menstruation really comes, the whole body looks like a loose hedgehog and returns to its original self. Her friend suggested that she see a doctor. She wondered if she could find a doctor and take medicine to improve this kind of thing?
symptoms: Monthly troubles can’t be solved
Current medical research has found that about 50-80% of women feel more or less uncomfortable before menstruation, such as breast swelling and pain, fatigue and laziness, listlessness, low mood, tension and irritability, decreased sexual desire or insomnia. These symptoms are collectively called premenstrual syndrome. 3-8% of women have more serious emotional symptoms, especially depression, sensitivity, irritability or inattention, which is called premenstrual unhappiness.
The causes of premenstrual syndrome are complex. It may be caused by hormonal changes (the rise and fall of lutein and estrogen), or nutritional imbalance (high fat or excessive sugar and salt, insufficient vitamin B6), or metabolic disorders, heavy physical and mental pressure or insufficient sleep.
Many girls think that it is normal for “old friends” to have emotional fluctuations before and after their visit. This misunderstanding can easily delay the opportunity for treatment. Prescription: making “good friends” with “old friends” and moderate and continuous exercise are the most positive ways to treat premenstrual discomfort. Some studies have found that aerobic exercise for 30 minutes at least three times a week can effectively improve premenstrual syndrome, not only relieve physical symptoms, but also bring psychological happiness. The daily diet should be more low-fat, high fiber, nuts, cereals and fresh vegetables and fruits. For example, whole grains and nuts are rich in vitamin B groups, which can soothe anxiety and irritability before menstruation, and regulate symptoms such as abdominal pain, breast distension and fatigue. Fresh vegetables and fruits such as kiwifruit are rich in vitamin C, which can also relieve depression. If you can’t have a balanced diet, you can moderately supplement vitamin B6 and calcium tablets.
three moves to overcome stress disorder
Dr. he Yanling suggests that women should be familiar with their symptoms and patterns. They can first seek medical treatment from relevant departments to determine whether they have other physiological problems, and then seek help from a psychiatrist. Personal adjustment can be more effective in preventing and improving. In terms of diet, fixed food and fixed quantity are the most basic principles. Eat the most suitable portion for yourself, and avoid buffet and other choices that may increase the burden on the intestines and stomach. Eat regularly, so that the intestines and stomach form a sense of rhythm, and have a smooth eating, digestion and defecation law. Avoid high-fat, greasy and fried things.
Build a strong backing. When the psychological pressure is huge, women should not be afraid to ask for help. Family, friends, doctors and consultants can all be your strong backing. Don’t be afraid to admit your pain to others. It will be more comfortable to speak out. Reading more spiritual books can also help to achieve spiritual balance.
Exercise relieves stress. Aerobic exercise can discharge negative energy in the body in particular. Pay attention not to treat exercise as a kind of burden. Only when you can let yourself have the most relaxed rhythm and intensity can you achieve obvious results.
