Ted Perly, a doctor at the University of Washington Medical School stated, there are a handful of diseases in men in their 20s that can trigger serious health conditions. Smoking, drinking alcoholic beverages, lifestyle and unhealthy food are the main factors that haunt the risk of deadly diseases for men at a young age. What are the diseases that become health issues in men in their 20s? See the explanation below.
Some health and disease conditions for men in their 20s
1. Lung cancer
Smoking habits that are often done by men at a young age can end in the risk of lung cancer. Lung cancer is a disease that can spread to other organs of the body when it is advanced. You can do an examination to do a CT scan to detect early symptoms, even though the examination is quite expensive. Unfortunately lung cancer is growing rapidly and is quite difficult to cure.
2. Obesity which leads to kidney disease
A study in the United Kingdom said that the disease of men aged 20 most often is obesity. The test examined participants who were overweight to obesity at a young age, and the result they had a risk Kidney illness Chronic age is higher at the age of 60 to 64 years.
This risk applies when compared to those who are not obese at a young age or in old age. According to studies published in Journal of the American Society of Nephrology this, young people who have a larger waist and hip circumference in their 20s are also at risk of obesity and experiencing chronic kidney pain in their old days.
3. Sexually transmitted diseases
HPV (human pappiloma virus) which is a virus that causes genital warts can attack men aged 20. This can happen if you often change partners. In addition to HPV, men must also be aware of sexually transmitted diseases such as herpes and chlamydia which are twice the risk of being exposed. To prevent it, use condoms during sex, and be loyal to one sexual partner
4. Skin cancer
Who would have thought that skin cancer could be a disease of men aged 20? Yes, initial skin cancer is also called actinic keratosis this is often found in men who are hobbies tanning (darkening the skin) in a salon or clinic. The initial symptoms of skin cancer are usually small scaly bumps that appear in groups, and arise in parts of the body that are often exposed to sunlight. If you find symptoms of skin cancer, consult a doctor immediately, considering that skin cancer is one of the deadly diseases.
5. Diabetes
Diabetes does not only affect the elderly. In fact, the CDC reports that men aged 20 to 30 who have a waist circumference of more than 102 cm are at risk of developing type 2 diabetes. This would be a higher risk if you are single and live alone. Lifestyle and intake of unhealthy foods every day can lead to weight gain and lead you to a diagnosis of diabetes at a young age.
6. Depression to suicide
According to the Department of Health Services in America, suicide due to depression increases among men in their 20s. Although it is difficult to find the cause of this depressive disorder that has led to death, Jean Twenge, a professor from San Diego University, believes that excessive use of technology is a temporary cause.
While the pressure of the world of work and association can also bring someone into depression. Twenge also suggested for young men to balance work, sports, maintain social relationships with family and friends, and vacation to prevent symptoms of depression.
