Dad is like an omnipotent superman at home, taking on the pressure we cannot see to take care of our family, and the risk of suffering from various diseases is also rising. This Father's Day, let us thank our father for his hard work with practical actions and take the initiative to care about his health!

Colorectal cancer - one of the most common cancers in men

Statistics from the Hong Kong Cancer Statistics Center in 2015 show that colorectal cancer ranks second among common cancers and cancers with the highest mortality rate. That year, 2,930 men were diagnosed and 1,177 died of colorectal cancer. Colon polyps, tumors or inflammation may cause blood in the stool, but because the amount of blood is very small, it is usually difficult to detect.

In 2017, 8,487 male deaths were registered in Hong Kong due to cancer, and the number of new cancer cases among men has also increased. In 2017, colorectal cancer was one of the most common cancers among men.

Stomach cancer - men over 40 are at higher risk

The common early symptoms of gastric cancer are dull pain in the stomach, which is very similar to the symptoms of general stomach discomfort. But when the disease continues to progress, the patient's stomach will bleed, and the patient's stool will even turn black, which means that the gastric cancer has become serious.

Gastric cancer patients are generally men over 40 years old. They usually have the habit of smoking and drinking at the same time. In their daily diet, they tend to eat more meat and less vegetables, and eat more pickled foods. The above factors will increase the chance of suffering from gastric cancer.

Men are often busy with their careers and families and neglect their health. This year, I would like to give my father a physical check-up as a heartwarming and considerate Father’s Day gift!
