Precautions for preventing bladder cancer

The occurrence of bladder cancer is caused by many factors, but these factors all come from small details in life. It is most unworthy to cause bladder cancer due to bad living habits. As long as everyone is clear about the precautions for preventing bladder cancer, they can stay away from the invasion of cancer on the body.

Things to note to prevent bladder cancer:

(1) Drinking water regularly is very important: Drinking water regularly can flush the bladder, which can greatly reduce the concentration of harmful substances in urine, thereby reducing damage to the bladder mucosa and playing a role in preventing bladder cancer. Adults should drink about 2,000 ml of water every day. In hot summer, you can increase your water intake appropriately.

One of the most authoritative medical journals in the world, the England Medical Journal, reported that drinking six glasses of water a day can reduce the risk of bladder cancer in men by half, and the risk of colon cancer in women by 45%, because drinking water can increase the frequency of urination and defecation, and excrete harmful substances such as urea and uric acid that may irritate the bladder mucosa and colon.

(2) Harm of holding urine: The bladder mucosa is in direct contact with urine and is constantly exposed to toxic substances in urine. Therefore, urine should not be retained in the bladder for too long and needs to be discharged from the body in a timely manner. Holding urine for a long time can easily damage the bladder mucosa and induce bladder cancer. Generally, urinate once every 2 hours during the day.

(3) Stay away from hair dyes: A recent international study shows that long-term exposure to hair dyes increases the risk of cancer, especially bladder cancer, leukemia and lymphoma. Although the evidence of cancer is not yet sufficient, we should be vigilant about frequent exposure to hair dyes.

Experts remind: Many women often dye their hair for beauty. In fact, this is one of the main factors that promote bladder cancer. It is very scary. Natural beauty is the real beauty. Never put your health at risk for the sake of temporary beauty.
