英國健身教練夜間頻繁盜汗且後續還出現皮膚搔癢的症狀,就醫後才知患1罕見癌症。
健身教練夜間頻繁盜汗且皮膚奇癢無比
綜合外媒報導,英國一名25歲健身教練帕特爾(Dilan Patel)日常生活習慣正常,但長期以來遭受夜間盜汗和皮膚奇癢等症狀困擾。他透露,自己每到夜裡就頻繁出汗,常常在夢中醒來,且醒來後衣服及床單已經濕透。起初,他以為是氣候炎熱所致,因此並未引起重視。
健身教練頸部出現腫塊
然而,帕特爾發現自己的盜汗情況持續了數月仍未見好轉。此外,他的頸部還長出腫塊,不過當時他誤以為那是健身後的肌肉增生,所以一直沒有進行檢查。
男子確診為「霍奇金氏淋巴瘤」
直至2年後,帕特爾的症狀日益嚴重,全身奇癢無比,每日需要隨身攜帶乳液擦拭皮膚才能緩解瘙癢。於是,他向家庭醫生求診,經過全面檢查後,醫生在他的體內發現了5個腫瘤,其中一個甚至長在肺部,最終被確診為「霍奇金氏淋巴瘤」(Hodgkin lymphoma)第四期。
男子接受化療後健康已無大礙
幸運的是,帕特爾在接受化療後,目前的健康狀況已逐步穩定。近日,他在網上分享自己的經歷提醒公眾,不應忽略身體出現的異常信號,認為一些看似無害的症狀,可能隱藏著嚴重健康問題,「那些小症狀的存在是有原因的,千萬不要等到太遲才就醫」。
「霍奇金氏淋巴瘤是」治癒率高
報導指出,霍奇金氏淋巴瘤是一種生長較為快速的淋巴瘤,常見於15至34歲的年輕人。此病症與免疫系統功能不全有關,常見症狀包括淋巴結腫大、不明原因發燒、夜間盜汗、皮膚搔癢、體重下降及持續性疲勞等。霍奇金氏淋巴瘤的總治癒率高達80%,在所有淋巴癌中治癒率最高,而晚期患者的預後通常不佳。
@dnafitnessuk You won’t believe it... I was 25 years old, living my life like any other young adult - working hard, working out, hanging with friends, and trying to figure out my future. Life felt normal. I had no reason to think anything was wrong. But then something strange started happening. I’d wake up in the middle of the night drenched in sweat. I mean SOAKED. My clothes, my bed - everything would be wet. It happened 2-3 times every single night. At first, I just thought, ‘Maybe I’m getting too hot under the covers?’ So I brushed it off. Weeks turned into months, and the night sweats didn’t stop. Looking back now, there were other signs, too. I was exhausted all the time, but I just thought it was because I was working long hours. My skin was unbelievably itchy - so much so that I carried lotion around with me everywhere, convinced it was just dry skin. I even noticed lumps on my neck, but I thought they were my muscles growing from all my workouts at the gym. Everything had an explanation - or so I thought. But eventually, I started feeling worse so I went to the doctor. Nothing could’ve prepared me for what they told me. At just 25 years old, I was diagnosed with Stage 4B Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. Five tumours. It had even spread to my lung. I couldn’t believe it. I’d spent so long brushing off my symptoms, convincing myself they weren’t a big deal. But my body had been screaming at me for almost 2 years. If there’s one thing I’ve learned from this experience, it’s to pay attention to your body. Those little signs and symptoms? They’re there for a reason. Don’t wait until it’s too late.
