Frequent Anger and Increased Cancer Risk
Persistent anger may elevate the risk of developing various cancers, including breast cancer, thyroid cancer, stomach cancer, among others.
1. Breast Cancer
Anger can lead to endocrine disturbances in the human body, which affects the normal function of breast tissue, causing mammary gland hyperplasia and also increasing the incidence of breast cancer. It is recommended that patients maintain a cheerful mood, avoid excessive anger and emotional suppression, and relieve stress through listening to music, exercising, and other methods.
2. Thyroid Cancer
Long-term anger may lead to abnormal secretion of thyroid hormones, causing goiter, and in severe cases, it may result in hyperthyroidism or even thyroid cancer. It is recommended that patients maintain a cheerful mood in daily life, avoid excessive fatigue and intense exercise. They can follow the doctor’s advice to take oral medications such as methylthiouracil tablets or propylthiouracil tablets to treat hyperthyroidism, or undergo surgical treatments like total thyroidectomy or microwave ablation for thyroid cancer as advised by a doctor.
3. Gastric Cancer
Anger may lead to excessive gastric acid secretion, causing gastric mucosal damage and resulting in conditions such as gastritis and gastric ulcers. Prolonged anger may also increase the risk of developing gastric cancer. Patients are advised to maintain a positive mindset in daily life, avoid excessive fatigue and emotional suppression. Conditions like gastritis and gastric ulcers can be treated by taking medications such as Omeprazole Enteric-coated Capsules and Bismuth Potassium Citrate Capsules as prescribed by a doctor. For gastric cancer, surgical treatments like subtotal gastrectomy may be performed under medical guidance.
Additionally, it may also increase the risk of developing cancers such as liver cancer and colorectal cancer. Patients are advised to seek medical treatment promptly to avoid delaying the condition.
