Pain may be the earliest and most frequent sensation experienced by everyone in their lifetime. October 16th of this year is World Pain Relief Day, and China has designated the week during which World Pain Relief Day falls as China Pain Relief Week. Can small pains in life be alleviated by enduring them? Professor Jia Yifan, Deputy Director of the Pain Department at Wuhan University People's Hospital (Hubei Provincial People's Hospital), introduced in an interview with People's Daily that pain can be divided into acute pain and chronic pain according to time. The former is a recent outbreak and has a short duration, often one of the accompanying symptoms of many diseases, related to surgery, trauma, tissue damage, or certain disease states; The latter has a long duration and recurrent attacks. Chronic pain is often a continuation of acute pain, and it is necessary to clarify the cause and choose corresponding treatment methods. Some pain may be a signal of a disease, while others may be a clinical manifestation of the disease. When pain occurs, it should not be tolerated and should be treated in a timely manner. Jia Yifan said that when the pain exceeds his self-regulation range, such as persistent low emotions and repeated severe body pain, it can cause serious harm to human health. Jia Yifan reminds that tolerating "small pain" can lead to "serious illness". Do not ignore the "distress signal" sent by the body. If the following types of pain occur, seek medical attention as soon as possible. Pain in the jaw, throat, chest, shoulders, arms, or abdomen can all be a precursor to heart disease. It should be noted that the typical symptom of heart disease is not pain, but discomfort. In addition to the chest area, discomfort caused by a heart attack may also occur in the throat, jaw, left shoulder, or abdomen. Aortic dissection is an unbearable tearing like pain in the chest and back. Toothache is a type of toothache that is a warning signal issued by the heart, medically known as "cardiogenic toothache". If not identified early, it can even be fatal. Abdominal pain is the first and most common symptom is an issue with the appendix. Secondly, problems with the gallbladder and pancreas, gastric ulcers, and intestinal obstruction can all lead to abdominal pain, which may also be accompanied by gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal muscle tension or nausea and vomiting. Headache, cerebral hemorrhage, or brain tumors can also cause headaches, and severe headaches may be a precursor to the rupture of cerebral aneurysms. When pain occurs, can you take painkillers on your own? Jia Yifan stated that it is not recommended to use painkillers at will. Taking painkillers orally without a clear cause of the disease may mask the condition, cause misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis, delay the treatment opportunity, and may even lead to serious consequences. If the pain does not alleviate and tends to worsen, it is necessary to seek medical attention in a timely manner, make a clear diagnosis as soon as possible, and provide pain relief treatment under the guidance of a physician.
