64-year-old Uncle Jia, after retirement, fell in love with outdoor sports, every day will invite relatives and friends to play a few games of badminton, tired, sweaty, just take a bath in the big bathhouse in the gymnasium, not to mention very comfortable.
A few days ago, Uncle Jia was about to take a bath after playing as usual, and when he was taking a bath, he happened to meet a friend he hadn't seen for a long time, so he chatted a few more words. It may be that he has been taking a bath for a long time, Uncle Jia just put on his clothes and went out, and was blown by the cold wind, and he suddenly felt dizzy and unsteady on his feet. Seeing that something was wrong with him, his friend hurriedly called 120 to send him to a nearby hospital.
After a series of examinations, it was found that Uncle Jia had a sudden cerebral infarction, but fortunately he was sent to the hospital in time, and after emergency treatment, his consciousness quickly recovered, and because of his usual exercise Xi, the function of his hands and feet also recovered well.
Uncle Jia wondered,I just took a bath for a little longer than usual, why did I suddenly get a stroke?
Improper bathing in winter is prone to stroke
How often is it best to wash it?
Winter is the season with a high incidence of stroke and cardiovascular disease, and bathing is often one of the causes of accidents. If you don't take the bath in the right way, you may touch the organ of the stroke and threaten your life.
The so-calledStroke, in fact, is what everyone often saysStroke, stroke is generally classified clinically:Ischemic stroke (cerebral infarction) and hemorrhagic stroke (cerebral hemorrhage)., mainly due to blockage or rupture of blood vessels in the brain.
In everyday life,The following moments are extremely prone to stroke, such as when you are overly excited;When there is a sudden change in temperature and cold;When you use the toilet too hard;When the workplace is stressful or overworked;When taking a bath in winter；When sweating during intense exercise in the summer;as well as overeating, exercising, alcoholism, etc. 
Winter is the season of high incidence of stroke in middle-aged and elderly people, especially when bathing, stroke is more likely to occur. This is mainly:For those who have chronic underlying diseases such as high blood pressure, heart disease, and diabetes, these diseases can deprive the brain of blood supply.
When bathing, people from the comparisonColdThe room turnsWarm, steamy bathroom. As soon as it encounters hot water, the body temperature rises rapidlyBlood pressure fluctuates easily, fluctuations that are too drastic will resultAtherosclerotic plaque breaks off and clogs blood vessels, or cause a blood vessel to rupture, which can cause a stroke.
In addition, frequent bathing in older people, in addition to increasing the risk of stroke, is excessiveRub vigorously in the shower, which will also destroy the ** barrier, triggeredItching
Li Wei, chief physician of the ** Department of Huashan Hospital affiliated to Fudan University, saidIn recent years, there has been an increase in the number of patients with **inflammation, which is likely to be related to too many baths, especially atopic dermatitis in the elderly, which is mostly due toBathing too often and the water temperature too highArouse.
According to the "China ** Cleaning Guidelines", in order to maintain ** moisture, you should take a bath every 2-3 days, in a dry area or in a cold winterOlder people can take a bath once every 5-7 days。When bathing, the water temperature should not be overheated, just slightly higher than the body temperatureThe time is controlled to about 10 minutesAvoidDo it on the ** surfaceToo much cleaning
These 3 moments take a bath,
Beware that it is a "deadly bath".
Not only is it important to take a bath in winter, but these three moments are not suitable for bathing, and they are very harmful to the body.
1. Take a shower as soon as you get up
Quite a few people like to get up in the morning to take a bath, but for people with underlying medical conditions,Early morning (6-10 o'clock) blood pressureIt often reaches a high peak, in this case, bathing, ** surface blood vessels dilate, blood pressure plummets, brain, internal organs may be ischemia, it will be easy to cause palpitation, chest tightness and other discomfort, serious will appearLow blood pressure, even shock
2. Take a shower after drinking
There are many occasions when you need to deal with alcohol, but it is not advisable to take a shower immediately after drinking. After drinking, the glucose stored in the body will be consumed in the bath, which can cause a decrease in blood sugar, and alcohol inhibits the activity of the liver and hinders the storage of glucoseCauses hypoglycemia and shock
3. Take a shower after exercising
It is not suitable to take a bath immediately after exercise, and the body will cause the expansion of muscles and blood vessels after encountering hot water, which will further increase the flow to muscles and blood vessels, resulting in insufficient blood supply to organsThis is especially true for patients with hypertension and coronary heart diseaseOnce the blood supply to the heart and brain is insufficient, it will trigger the onset of the disease.
Winter bathing for the elderly hides a hidden crisis
Do these 4 things well
Every winter is the season of high incidence of bathing accidents, especially the middle-aged and elderly with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, they should be more concerned about bathing. Being in a stuffy environment while bathing and being hot and cold can cause stroke, syncope, and even death in severe cases. Therefore, for the sake of health, it is recommended that elderly friends do these few small things.
1. Balance between body temperature and indoor temperature
There is a temperature difference between the bathroom and the home environment, and suddenly undressing and exposing to a colder environment can easily cause vasoconstriction and increase blood pressure. Immediately enter the hot water, the body temperature rises, and the blood pressure will continue to soar, causing blood pressure fluctuations. So before taking a shower, you canPut hot water in the first place or turn on the electric heater, bath bomb, etc. firstLet the temperature of the bathroom rise a little to avoid excessive temperature differences.
2. The water temperature should not be too high
When bathing, the water temperature is controlledIt is a more suitable temperature, preferably not more than 43, overheated water is easy to burn**. A short shower is better than a long bathThe bath time should not be too long, each bath is controlledWithin 15-20 minutes
3. Pay attention to the order of bathing
Taking a hot bath in winter, directly from the beginning, will cause a large amount of blood pressure to rush to the surface, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the heart and brain. So before taking a bath,It's best to start with your feet and rinse them with hot waterAfter the feet are warm, slowly pour water on the rest of the body to let the body gradually get used to it.
4. Hydrate before and after bathing
Bathing also loses body water, so it's okay before bathingDrink some warm water firstAfter taking a bath, you should also replenish water in time to avoid blood viscosity caused by lack of water.
Every winter, it is the season of high incidence of bathing accidents, for the elderly in the family, be careful, carelessness in the bathing process may cause a sudden stroke, or even death.
