Bladder cancer is a male-dominated cancer. Because the early symptoms are not obvious, most of them are found in the late stage, resulting in a high mortality rate. The possible factors of bladder cancer include smoking, hair dye, food coloring, and environmental hormones. A 60-year-old woman who doesn’t smoke or use chemicals has developed bladder cancer, suspected to be due to her 40-year hair-dyeing habit, doctors said.
Gui Jiahao, a urologist at Gengxin Hospital, said in the “Health 2.0” program that a 60-year-old female patient was diagnosed with bladder cancer. In order to find out possible causative factors, he asked her regarding her living environment and found that she had never been exposed to chemicals in her life. , but the woman loves beauty and has continued to dye her hair for nearly 40 years, which may be the reason for her cancer.
Gui Jiahao said that compared with other cancers, bladder cancer has no tumor markers as a pre-examination. Only when the symptom of hematuria occurs, can further examination be performed. When it is discovered, it is often at an advanced stage, and the mortality rate of advanced bladder cancer is as high as 5. become.
Physician Wang Jianyu of family medicine reminds people not to let hair dyes touch the scalp when dyeing their hair, especially water-soluble dyes, because water-soluble dyes will affect the health of the urinary system. In addition, other factors that lead to bladder cancer include food pigments and environmental hormones. Therefore, it is recommended to eat more prototype foods to avoid ingesting toxic substances in the body, and to excrete toxic substances by drinking plenty of water and urinating more.
