男性更年期知多少？
根據《黃帝內經》所述，男性從56歲開始「肝氣衰，筋不能動，天癸竭，精少，腎藏衰」，即步入更年期，不似女性有明顯的停經症狀，男性更年期的表現在於身體機能開始走下坡，多種症狀都與腎氣漸衰有關，以下為常見症狀：
☐ 煩躁易怒
☐ 失眠
☐ 精神抑鬱
☐ 眩暈頭痛
☐ 脫髮
☐ 記憶力減退
☐ 體力下降
☐ 脂肪增加
☐ 夜尿多/尿頻
☐ 便秘
☐ 耳鳴
☐ 性慾減退
☐ 勃起功能障礙
☐ 潮熱盜汗

男性更年期由於「肝腎氣衰」而引起多種症狀，在飲食上可多注意調補肝腎，按體質適量食用有補腎功效的食材，例如淮山、核桃、韭菜、海參、蓮子、黑木耳、黑豆、黑芝麻等。定期做適量運動，培養多方面興趣，保持心境開朗都有助順利過渡更年期。

Male menopause
According to the Esoteric Scripture of the Yellow Emperor (‘Huang Di Nei Jing’), men, starting from around the age of 56, may experience weakness of qi in the liver, elasticity loss in the tendons, male menopause, energy loss, and weakness in the kidney.

While the end of the menstrual cycles marks the beginning of a woman’s menopause, the declining function of the organs is the tell-tale sign of a male menopause. It is more often than not associated with the weakening of the qi in the kidneys. Some of the common symptoms are:

☐Gets frustrated easily
☐Insomnia
☐Constantly stressed
☐Dizziness
☐Hair loss
☐Memory loss
☐Decreased stamina
☐Increase in body fats
☐Nocturia/frequent urination
☐Constipation
☐Tinnitus
☐Loss of sexual desire
☐Erectile dysfunction

The weakening of qi in the liver and kidneys is the main cause of male menopause. Hence, consuming an appropriate amount of ingredients that can replenish the kidneys and liver can improve the condition. These ingredients include Chinese yam, walnut, chives, sea cucumber, lotus seed, black fungus, black beans, and black sesame. Exercising regularly, picking up healthy hobbies, and staying happy can help relieve the symptoms of a menopause.

✔Recommendation: Dusk rice water
Ingredients: Red Rice, White Rice, Black Sesame, Black Soya Bean
Effects: remedy to frequent late nights, improve hair quality and nourish kidneys, relieve sore lower back

EDD: 22 June 2021

Last appt with my nurse at KK TTDI 🥶 Not going to see her again until I give birth 😶‍🌫️ Below are the review from yesterday’s follow up…
✅Baby’s heartbeat is 142
✅Mummy’s weight increased by 1.2kgs (swollen feet a̶n̶d̶ ̶c̶o̶n̶s̶t̶i̶p̶a̶t̶i̶o̶n̶ does contribute to the weight gain too apparently 🥺)
✅Will arrange to meet with specialist at HKL this Friday, 18 June to further discuss on labor plan (bcs cannot exceed my EDD)
✅Continue to monitor for labour sign, if any, proceed straight to the hospital (PAC @ HKL)

PAC = Patient Assessment Centre

Being a first time mum can be quite challenging at times. Even though there may be lots of sharing and reading, but identifying the actual sign & symptoms are really confusing.. Especially contractions! 😫 Stomach tightening in the earlier trimester only happen after meals, these days, I woke up with it.. HAHAH! I mean it’s tight throughout the day (and night)! Then as I was anticipating for contractions… it just didn’t happen.

Last night, it did felt like some mild discomfort on my lower abdomen, like mild cramp, not really painful as it was bearable and we thought this might be it.. But as I “focused” too much on the symptoms, I think the discomfort disappeared. HAHAH! I told bae, even I wasn’t exactly sure what i was feeling right then but I can be sure if it’s a real contraction I wouldn’t be able to fall asleep.. so this is not what we want.. 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙖𝙡𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙮 𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙖𝙣𝙭𝙞𝙤𝙪𝙨. 𝙃𝙚 𝙩𝙧𝙞𝙥𝙡𝙚-𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙘𝙠 𝙢𝙮 𝙝𝙤𝙨𝙥 𝙗𝙖𝙜, 𝙢𝙖𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙨𝙪𝙧𝙚 𝙄 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙢𝙮 𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙠 𝙗𝙤𝙤𝙠, 𝙄𝘾 𝙣 𝙥𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙧 𝙗𝙖𝙣𝙠 😂 𝘼𝙣𝙙 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙣 𝙗𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙛𝙚𝙙 𝙢𝙮 𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨 𝙤𝙣 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙙𝙤 𝙞𝙛 𝙄 𝙨𝙪𝙙𝙙𝙚𝙣𝙡𝙮 𝙜𝙤 𝙤𝙣 𝙡𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙧. I think it was 1am++ last night 😰 *betul betul drama* 😂

So we waited (while sleeping) till this morning, nothing happened. False alarm! No mucus plug, no contraction, no back pain, no bleeding, no water bag broke..

Anyway, tomorrow will be the day where we will meet the specialist at HKL, so let’s just be patient and see what they got to say 🤗

Current mood:
👦🏻 = excited 😍😜🥳
👩🏻 = nervous 😰😮‍💨🥵
👶🏻 = chillax 🤓😏💃🏻🥂🍰✨

【了解血便】大便有血成因眾多

⭐痔瘡大腸癌都有可能
⭐大人小朋友都有機會出現
#星期三CheckCheckMail

大便有血是大腸癌？

成叔：「看了網上資訊說大便有血是大腸癌先兆，我剛剛大便有血怎麼辦？」

CheckCheckCin：先保持冷靜，大便有血成因很多，要先了解大便狀況，包括次數、糞便狀態以及出血程度。一般來說如果出血色鮮紅而大便乾硬，有可能是大便排出時令肛門受損而出血；又或者痔瘡出血。如果出血色深、或者血與大便混合的話，有可能是消化道有損傷，而從中醫角度來看，濕熱、陰虛、陽虛都會導致大便下血，例如工作繁忙、多熬夜而導致肝腎陰虛，會令大便乾結出血，伴隨症狀為口燥咽乾、五心煩熱、失眠多夢等，就可以飲用有清熱滋陰功效的茶療紓緩症狀。
大便有血的確是大腸癌症狀之一，但這種出血有可能血量極少 ，根本無法用肉眼看得出來，需要接受相關化驗才能確認。如果你已經50歲或以上，可以進行大便隱血測試以了解更多。

梨乾茅根槐花茶
材料：梨乾4片、茅根12克、槐花6克、蜂蜜適量
功效：清熱涼血。紓緩因虛火而引起的大便出血、口乾、咽喉乾痛、大便乾結等症狀。
做法：材料剪小放保溫瓶，以熱水沖洗一遍，再注入熱水焗10分鐘，可反覆沖泡至味淡。建議一星期飲用2-3天，連續兩星期為一個療程。

Blood in stool – a sign of colon cancer?
“I read from the Internet stools that contain traces of blood is a symptom of colon cancer. And I recently realized there was blood in my stool. What should I do?”

CheckCheckCin: We need to calm down and acknowledge that many factors might cause blood to appear in stool. Firstly, we need to observe frequency of bowel movement, the shape of our stool, and the bleeding condition.

In general, the bright-red blood on dry and hard stool is due to fissures or small tears in the lining of the anus or hemorrhoids. If the blood looks dark or mixed with feces, there is a possibility that there is damage in the digestive tract.

From the perspective of Chinese Medicine, damp heat, yin deficiency, and yang deficiency can cause blood to appear in stool. For instance, staying up late and having a hectic work schedule can cause the liver and kidney to experience yin deficiency, hence, causing dry stool to take shape. Other accompanying symptoms include dry mouth and throat, constantly feeling irritable and warm, insomnia and excessive dreaming. Drinking herbal tea that clears heat and nourishes the yin can relieve these symptoms.

Spotting blood in stool can indeed be a symptom of colon cancer, but the volume of blood that is visible to the eye is minimal. One can only confirm his or her suspicion after going through a thorough checkup. If you are aged 50 and above, consider taking the fecal occult blood test to find out more.

Pear and couch grass root tea with sophora
