[Voice of Hope July 13, 2023](Editor: Li Wenhan) The origin and gestation of life cannot be separated from water. Drinking water may seem ordinary, but in fact it can not only meet the needs of the human body for survival, but also imply the health of the body in turn. For example, if the following three symptoms appear after drinking water, it may be cancer!

Drink Water (Voice of Hope Synthesis)

Choking and coughing after drinking water is a common manifestation of hypopharyngeal cancer.

The hypopharynx is also known as the hypopharynx. Cancer in the tissue of the hypopharynx is collectively referred to as hypopharyngeal carcinoma.

The growth location of hypopharyngeal cancer is relatively hidden, on both sides and behind the Adam’s apple, so the early symptoms are usually not obvious and difficult to be found. Even if some people feel discomfort, it is often mistaken for a sore throat.

When the patients have obvious symptoms such as choking and coughing after drinking water, sore throat, hoarseness, and difficulty swallowing, most of them are already in the middle and late stage. Therefore, the prevention and early detection of hypopharyngeal cancer is very important.

A number of studies and clinical findings have found that people over the age of 40 and with a history of smoking or (and) drinking for a long time are at high risk of hypopharyngeal cancer.

This is because the repeated stimulation of the hypopharynx and esophagus by cigarettes and alcohol can lead to a decrease in local resistance and greatly increase the incidence of malignant tumors.

Therefore, it is recommended that high-risk groups receive a laryngoscopy in addition to routine physical examination.

In addition, people over the age of 40 and those who smoke and drink for a long time, if they have persistent throat pain that cannot be relieved in a short period of time, they need to be vigilant; Detailed inspection.

Generally speaking, if you drink a lot of water, you will naturally urinate more frequently, which is a normal phenomenon. However, after drinking water normally, the frequency of urination increases abnormally, which is called frequent urination.

Frequent urination is mainly related to these factors: small natural bladder, drinking and urination habits, nervousness and anxiety and other mental factors, and some diseases, such as overactive bladder, urinary tract infection, bladder outlet obstruction, urinary stones, benign prostatic hyperplasia, prostatic cancer, bladder cancer, etc.

Among them, the most feared ones are prostate cancer and bladder cancer.

The early symptoms of prostate cancer are not obvious, and when symptoms appear, they are very similar to the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia, often manifested as frequent urination, dysuria, increased nocturia, and thinner urine stream, etc. It is not easy to distinguish between the two.

Therefore, experts recommend that men over the age of 50 do a digital rectal examination and serum PSA examination once a year, so as to detect prostate cancer early and not miss the best time for treatment.

As for bladder cancer, the most typical symptom is intermittent painless gross hematuria. When the tumor is located in the trigone of the bladder, the patient may also experience irritation symptoms of frequent urination and urgency.

Therefore, if repeated or persistent frequent urination occurs, it is also necessary to be alert to whether there is a tumor in the trigone of the bladder, and you should go to the hospital as soon as possible.

In fact, in addition to the frequency of urination that can reflect your own health status, the color of the urine can also be used to urinate after drinking water normally.

To clarify this problem, we first need to know that normal urine is clear and transparent, and affected by drinking water, food, drugs, etc., it can also show other colors, such as light yellow, dark yellow, red, etc. Specifically, :

When the body lacks water, the urine can appear light yellow to dark yellow according to different degrees. For example, if you don’t drink water all night and the urine is concentrated, the first urine in the morning is often yellowish in color.

And after eating foods such as red dragon fruit and beetroot, and drugs such as rifampicin and phenytoin, the urine will turn red.

However, the above changes in urine color are temporary. As long as you drink water normally, you can return to normal after a few times of urination.

However, if the above conditions are ruled out and red bloody urine appears after urinating after drinking water normally, it means that there is something wrong with the urinary system!

Generally speaking, any part of the urinary tract is damaged and bleeding, which can cause hematuria, such as urinary tract infection, glomerulonephritis, nephrotic syndrome, urinary system stones, tuberculosis, tumors, etc.

If hematuria is accompanied by abdominal pain, low back pain, etc., it may indicate infection, kidney disease or stone disease.

If only hematuria is discharged without any pain, the possibility of urinary tract tumor should be alerted.

Especially middle-aged and elderly people who have painless gross hematuria should be especially careful. This may be a signal of bladder cancer, renal pelvis cancer, kidney cancer, and prostate cancer. Once found, immediately go to the hospital for investigation.

Of course, after drinking water, in addition to the above three major manifestations, there will be other changes in the body that indicate that you are ill, such as:

If you often drink enough water, but still thirsty, you may be suffering from diabetes.

Normally speaking, the more you drink, the more you urinate. However, if you are drinking and urinating a lot while eating too much and losing weight, you may be suffering from diabetes.

In addition, diabetes insipidus and hypercalcemia can also lead to increased urine output.

Drink less, and naturally urinate less. In addition, when the weather is hot and sweats a lot, the urine output is also less, which is normal.

However, if you drink a lot but urinate less, and there is a certain degree of eyelid and lower limb edema, there may be a problem with the urinary system.

In short, everyone should not ignore the above physical changes after drinking water normally, and should go to the hospital in time to avoid delaying the treatment.
