Or choose the force that maximizes the significance of the complaint for the search from your point of view.

Diagnostics by the face at first causes slight bewilderment in readers. Is it possible? Although ... In the frantic pace of our lives, we often do not have enough time, we are in a hurry, we are late, we get sick, we are unwell, and we stop only when the disease hits us with all our might on the forehead. But sometimes by outward signs it is possible to determine that the disease is approaching. After all, nothing is taken from nowhere and the disease does not arise in one day. So there are certain signs, signs, noticing which, we can suspect something is wrong ..

Not so long ago I wrote an article, but today ... Today we will read and make a diagnosis in the face.

This problem is the definition of diseases by the face, diagnostics by the face has been dealt with for a long time, in China the science of pathophysiognomy is even highly developed, in the countries of the East it is believed that a doctor who cannot identify diseases by the face is not a doctor. Our surgeon Pirogov generally compiled an atlas with the telling title “The Face of the Patient”, where he wrote that every disease leaves its own trace on the face of a person.

At least once a day, but we look at ourselves in the mirror and are able to notice changes. This is especially true for women. It's not that they were more attentive, the weaker sex is just more concerned about how he looks and, accordingly, more scrupulously approaches all the bad signs that sometimes even appear overnight.

face diagnostics

What do we most often notice in the reflection of a mirror that catches our eye?

Most often this acne and comedones (blackheads), who have chosen some part of your face for themselves.

Pimples in the lower part of the face make you think about endocrine problems - something with (especially our chin hints at this), adrenal glands, ovaries.

If the rash appears in T-shaped area of ​​the face, this indicates problems with the gastrointestinal tract, especially attention should be paid to the intestines. Dysbacteriosis is possible. It is in this zone that teenage acne is most often localized. (this is a word about what eats in large quantities the younger generation, all sorts of chips, snacks, crackers, fast food, filled with Coca-Cola, and even beer. In general, which does not add health to their body) And the appearance of a rash indicates that the kidneys and organs of the gastrointestinal tract can no longer cope with the removal of toxins and toxins, and therefore the skin is forced to turn on its additional function.

acne on the wings of the nose and enlarged pores report bronchial problems. Rash in o nasolabial triangle a - problems with the pelvic organs, both in men and women.

Appearancewrinkles speaks not only of impending old age, but also of new ailments.

The appearance of a well-defined brow crease (it is clearly visible when we frown) makes us think about problems with the liver and gallbladder. If wrinkles appear on the bridge of the nose or near one of the eyebrows in combination with frequent ones, this alarm signal violations in the central nervous system. Lots of small wrinkles upper lip, located horizontally, report problems with gynecology. Wrinkles above the bridge of the nose, at the junction of the eyebrows, in the form of crosses, speak of inflammatory-degenerative diseases (hernia of the vertebrae, developing osteochondrosis).

Will tell about the formation of sand and kidney stones . Papillomas there also indicate the presence of cystic formations.

We continue the diagnostics on the face and move on to the nose.

When a clearly visible appearance appears on the wings of the nose vascular network, the nose increases slightly, turns red - this is a symptom of incipient lung diseases. A pale or bluish tip of the nose heralds. elongated nasolabial fold can also report that the heart is working for wear and tear. The nose with numerous streaks of blood, uneven, bumpy, speaks of changes in blood pressure.

Lips as an element of face diagnostics

Blue lips will report heart failure and hypoxia (lack of oxygen). If a jam often appears (a crack in the corner of the mouth) - hard work of the kidneys, a violation water-salt metabolism. Paleness of the lips will indicate anemia. Rough lips - dehydration. There are many specks on the lips - problems with the organs gastrointestinal tract.

Hair

If the hair turns gray early, this indicates circulatory disorders. Abundant hair loss indicates a malfunction thyroid gland and prolonged stress. Other hormonal imbalances are also possible. expressionless dull hair- lack of trace elements, primarily selenium, zinc and iron. Greasy hair talk about digestive disorders and endocrine problems.

Diseases in the face

There is a good face diagram with problem areas by organs. Depending on which area you have irritation, spots or rashes, you can tell which internal organs suffer and work to the limit.

Do not wait for pain to appear, look at yourself carefully and then you will be able to react in time and not start developing disease. Your health is your priority.

In this case, the preliminary diagnosis by "online diagnostics of diseases by symptoms" will be incorrect.

In addition, for each disease, especially those occurring in acute form, there are main (dominant) symptoms. But there may also be side symptoms such as a headache or abdominal pain from the flu. This is just one of the examples. That is, one child will have side effects, while the other will not. Note also that a number acute diseases not all symptoms, even dominant ones (for example, a certain kind of rash), do not appear on the first day. Therefore, naturally, our system, online diagnostics, will not be able to make an unambiguous diagnosis in most cases.

As a result, you will be presented with a list possible diseases child, as well as recommendations on which specialist to contact. This cannot be considered an official diagnosis, the task of our service " online diagnostics by symptoms" - the performance of advisory functions on the issues of contacting certain specialists who will put correct diagnosis and prescribe treatment for the child.

Signs of disease sometimes appear as ordinary ailments. How to determine the signs of a disease on your own, or just understand when to see a doctor as soon as possible? In this article, we will look at the most common symptoms that serious illnesses can have.

Are you rapidly gaining weight or maybe on the contrary, losing weight for no apparent reason? Are you worried constant thirst Or unexplained headaches? Our body sends signals, which, however, are often ignored. As a result of this neglect, some serious illnesses diagnosed too late.

Rapid weight gain

If weight loss can be associated with hyperthyroidism, then weight gain for no apparent reason may indicate hypothyroidism. Especially if it is accompanied by weakness, lack of strength and energy, dry mouth even on a hot day. In this case, you need to consult a doctor (therapist or endocrinologist), immediately and take a blood test to measure the level of hormones.

Weight gain can also be a symptom of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). In this case, irregular menstrual periods, hirsutism, acne. The disease mainly affects women. childbearing age and usually results from failed attempts get pregnant. For diagnosis, it is necessary to study a blood test and hormone levels. In advance, however, it is advisable to do an ultrasound at the gynecologist. Polycystic ovary syndrome must be treated, even if you do not plan to become pregnant, because this disease increases the risk of diabetes and atherosclerosis.

Rapid weight loss: what are the reasons?

Rapid weight loss, especially without special diet and increase physical activity, should always worry. However, it also happens that people who have suffered from extra pounds, glad that "finally" began to lose weight. This is a big mistake, because weight loss is always a signal sent by a sick body. Usually the cause is thyroid, which produces an excess of hormones, which affects metabolism. This condition is called hyperthyroidism. The disease is accompanied by nervousness, irritability, insomnia or excessive sweating. In order to confirm the diagnosis, it is recommended to do a blood test and check the level of hormones.

If weight loss is accompanied by diarrhea or constipation, sometimes there is blood in the stool, then these symptoms may indicate diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. They are usually associated with the intestines, stomach or duodenum.

Often, fast weight loss without apparent reason is a sign of development in the body. Seek medical attention immediately, even if the weight loss is not accompanied by any other symptoms.

Always thirsty: diabetes, kidney failure

Healthy people usually feel thirsty due to a lot of physical activity or due to high temperatures and also - when our diet is especially rich in salt, sugar or hot spices. However, if thirst persists, and, moreover, is accompanied by frequent urination (which cannot but be disturbing, since with a lack of water you usually do not want to go to the toilet), then such a symptom may indicate. Insulin, the pancreatic hormone responsible for the metabolism of carbohydrates, is not produced properly, which disrupts the even distribution of sugars, which causes an increase in blood sugar. The body requires water in order to dilute and expel it from the body.

Particular attention should be paid if excessive thirst is accompanied by weight loss and irritability. Pregnant women have the same symptoms (high thirst, frequent urination), especially when combined with fatigue after rest, may indicate gestational diabetes. If a disease is suspected, it is important to take a blood test to measure blood glucose levels. Normal level should not exceed 100 mg/dl. If the result is higher than 126 mg/dl, this should be considered an alarm and the test should be repeated the next day.

A strong desire to drink may also indicate kidney failure. The water that is retained in the body simultaneously increases the level of salt, which requires increased fluid intake.

Bleeding from the intestines: hemorrhoids, colon cancer

Bloody stools do not always indicate a serious illness. Bleeding may be the cause. This problem may be indicated by pain during and after defecation, protruding hemorrhoids. However, the diagnosis should be made by a gastroenterologist. It must be remembered that even the smallest amount of blood in the stool can mean that the real problem is much more serious.

Red blood, especially when mixed with mucus, may be a symptom ulcerative colitis, inflammatory disease bowel, and with pain in the lower abdomen (right), this is Crohn's disease. All these diseases are chronic and require specialized treatment. They are not fatal, but significantly reduce the quality of life.

Blood in the stool can also be a sign of a more serious condition, such as colon cancer. If you are not bothered by hemorrhoids and do not have any symptoms of bowel discomfort, do not hesitate to visit a doctor. Moreover, colon cancer develops for a long time, and its appearance can simply be overlooked.

Unusual urine color: hepatitis, cancer

Urine healthy person has a pale yellow color. A dark color (even red or pink) does not necessarily indicate disease. If this persists for a short time (several tens of hours), then, as a rule, this is the result of a diet (for example, beets) or a signal of dehydration in the body. In the latter case, you need to drink water as soon as possible. Dehydration can lead to a significant deterioration in mood, general well-being. With long-term forced dehydration, the functioning of the systems of the whole organism is disrupted. Prolonged dehydration is characterized by cardiac arrhythmias, syncope, painful spasms muscles. skin acquires gray shade becomes thin, dry and wrinkled. Observed overall weight loss, retraction of the whites of the eyes.

Dark colored urine

However, if dark color urine lasts longer, this may indicate inflammation of the liver, including hepatitis B or C. As a rule, this is then accompanied by fever, anorexia, muscle and joint pain. The sooner you start treatment for hepatitis, the greater the chance of a successful recovery. This is very important, because if the diagnosis is made late, and the disease has developed even 10-20 years, the therapy is not effective and the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma increases significantly. Dark urine (colors may be brown or red) indicates kidney, gallbladder or Bladder. In some cases, cancer of the bladder, liver and pancreas occurs.

Red urine

Maybe at acute cystitis- inflammation of the bladder. In acute transient form of the disease inner surface the bladder becomes irritated, begins to bleed. Cystitis is accompanied severe pain in the area of ​​the bladder, in the lower abdomen, fever, fever. If blood appears in the urine, it is urgent to start taking antibiotics.

yellow urine

Sometimes pregnant women have urine that is bright yellow in color. This can usually be the result of taking vitamins or various medicines prescribed by a doctor, for example - folic acid. Also, too bright color urine sometimes indicates that the body future mother can't handle the load. In the third trimester, a pregnant woman may be disturbed by cholestasis, in which the liver does not work correctly, which is why toxins are not completely removed from the body. As a rule, cholestasis is accompanied by nausea, weakness, fatigue. Also, in a strong pregnant woman, the palms and feet itch.

Persistent headaches

If the head hurts, then we are not used to attaching importance to this. Moreover, many are sure: a headache is often “treated” by coffee, this alone only worsens the situation, especially if this condition is caused by high blood pressure. With hypertension, there are additional warning signs - palpitations, sweating and irritability. They are not typical symptoms Therefore, hypertension is often ignored and if left untreated it can damage the heart, brain, kidneys, eyes, accelerate the development of atherosclerosis and greatly increase the risk of stroke. , including hypertension, are killed annually by about. 170 thousand people around the world.

Normal blood pressure considered between 115-120 / 75-89 mm Hg, with hypertension, the pressure rises significantly: from 140 to 159/90 mm Hg.

Persistent headaches may result from long hours held in front of a computer monitor. As a result, there are degenerative changes in cervical region spine, nerve compression.

Pain in the hands and feet: rheumatoid arthritis

Pain in the arms and legs, which are especially disturbing in the morning, after getting out of bed, cannot be overlooked. However, these symptoms are often ignored. If the pain not only does not subside, but becomes more acute even with the slightest movements of the joints, we are probably dealing with rheumatoid arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis - autoimmune disease. Although statistically it appears mainly in women over the age of 40, and is one of chronic diseases. Rheumatoid arthritis leads to muscle atrophy and severe changes in joint tissue, which is why patients with advanced diseases difficult to move fingers.

It is recommended to consult a rheumatologist who will prescribe laboratory tests, X-rays, ultrasound. Treatment consists not only of acceptance medicines, but also includes intensive rehabilitation, which significantly improves the quality of life and reduces the pain associated with the disease.
