In people's common sense, sleep is one of the important ways for the human body to regain energy. Recently, however, there has been an unexpected point of view in the medical community: the arrival of sleep prophet cancerThis has attracted a lot of attention. Today, as an experienced old Chinese medicine practitioner, I would like to interpret this problem from the perspective of Chinese medicine theory, and remind everyone: if there are three abnormalities while sleeping, you should have a physical examination as soon as possible to avoid missing the best time.
First of all, we need to understand the perspective of the relationship between sleep and illness in TCM theory. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that sleep is closely related to the balance of yin and yang in the human body. Normal sleep can help the body recharge and maintain the balance of yin and yang in the body, thereby maintaining the health of the body. However, when there is an abnormality in sleep, it may mean that there is some imbalance in the body, including the possibility of cancer.
So, what exactly is the relationship between sleep abnormalities and cancer?According to medical research, when people sleep, the body releases a substance known as "sleep hormone", which is able to promote cell repair and regeneration while inhibiting the growth and spread of cancer cells. However, when sleep is abnormal, the secretion of sleep hormones in the body is also disturbed, resulting in a decrease in the repair ability of normal cells and an acceleration of the growth and spread of cancer cells.
Next, I will introduce you to three sleep abnormalities that should be taken seriously if they occur.
The first is difficulty falling asleep or insomnia. Difficulty falling asleep is difficulty falling asleep at night, having trouble falling asleep after repeatedly turning over, or having trouble falling back asleep after waking up. Insomnia is the inability to maintain continuous sleep during the night, waking up frequently or early. These conditions indicate a decrease in sleep quality and may be related to pre-existing diseases within the body. Studies have shown that insomnia is associated with the occurrence of cancer, so once you have difficulty falling asleep or insomnia, you should have a physical examination in time to rule out the possibility of cancer.
The second is hypersomnia. Hypersomnomer is when you sleep significantly longer, sleeping heavily at night, but waking up feeling exhausted. If hypersomnia becomes the norm, it may mean that there is some hidden disease going on in the body. Studies have found that there is a certain correlation between hypersomnia and certain cancers, such as breast cancer, rectal cancer, etc. So, if you find yourself experiencing frequent hypersomnia, you may wish to go to the hospital for a check-up to detect and ** potential cancer early.
Finally, there is a decrease in sleep quality. Poor sleep quality refers to being easily disturbed by various external distractions during sleep, or waking up feeling tired and unrefreshed. This condition is often accompanied by uncomfortable symptoms such as fatigue and dizziness during the day. Decreased sleep quality may be a sign that some hidden dangers have appeared in various systems of the body. Several studies have shown a link between decreased sleep quality and an increased risk of cancer. Therefore, once there is a decrease in sleep quality, you should actively undergo a physical examination to detect and ** potential cancer problems in a timely manner.
In daily life, people should pay attention to their own sleep and try to avoid the occurrence of three conditions: difficulty falling asleep, excessive sleep and decreased sleep quality. Once these symptoms appear, especially if they persist for a long time, they should seek medical attention in time and have a comprehensive medical examination to understand their condition and prevent potential cancer problems as soon as possible.
In conclusion, if you have difficulty falling asleep, hypersomnolence, and decreased sleep quality, it is advisable to check it early. Through formal medical examination and scientific examination, we are expected to detect cancer at an early stage and intervene in time to improve the chances of cancer. In addition to maintaining healthy lifestyle habits, we should strengthen the observation and vigilance of the body, seek medical attention in time, and escort our health.
