No one is safe from diseases, but if a man falls ill in a family, this is most often a universal catastrophe, although there are different cases. How do men get sick? It depends on the type of representative of the stronger half: some are afraid of being sick, others like being demonstrative, others are to be in the spotlight, have some fun, etc. But there is always a common feature - they become completely defenseless and dependent on female attention. Even the temperature for them becomes a drama and they are urgently going to die.
The elementary cold of men puts everything in the background - and the illnesses of the wife, children, family problems, floods and tornadoes, etc. There are a lot of reviews of women about how sick men are. A woman should never relax in such a situation, even if both have caught a cold. She becomes a nanny-mother, and a man, whimpering from under his feet, blankets an old man on his deathbed or a baby who is unbearably crushed by a diaper.
Cold
How do men get sick? Judging by his behavior, a man’s cold is always fatal. Temperature 37, mild coughing - a clear sign of consumption or cancer.
All households urgently conduct an audit of their first-aid kit, look for thermometers, potions, heating pads, mustard plasters, etc. - there is a general mobilization, no one sleeps at night.
Relatives should have time to pay their last duty to the dying and to line up for him to say goodbye, God forbid, do not have time! A man looks at all this with a tragic expression on his face, obliges everyone to tiptoe along the walls, talk in a whisper, no amusement.
How the men get sick further: preparing for their death, they think over who will leave their favorite moped, the temperature threatens death - already 37.1. Urgently, the wife should call all the acquaintances and warn that the friend is terrible and contagious, that you can only wait for him at the bachelor party, fishing and football at home, he cannot leave.
In the evening, the last time you can drink beer, watch football and eat through force, so as not to upset the household. Well, there’s some morsik or kompotik, cheese pancakes with powdered sugar, liver cakes with sour cream, a salad, a cabbage pie - God, well, I don’t want anything at all, all through strength!
Doctors explain
It turns out that there are scientifically based reasons why men are often sick. Not only because their bodies are arranged differently: the speed of biochemistry, the structure of the skeleton, etc., and the psychology is different, but also because testosterone predominates in the body. It reduces immunity and a man gets sick no less than women. But the woman has estrogen protection, so she quickly heals and transfers more and more on her legs, but she has more complications. And in men, the same testosterone has anti-inflammatory properties, so the consequences are less.
Another thing is that as a truly strong and healthy creature, a man easily panics at the slightest ailment and the picture of world sorrow described above begins. With such a panic, a man, at the same time, is afraid of hiccups, dentists and white coats before hiccups.
Reviews of women about the diseases of men at home
A sick man sneezes and coughs the same way, but everyone is sick in his own way. Everything is like L. Tolstoy’s. About how men are sick, women have many reviews filled with humor and irony. But this concerns, of course, banal ordinary colds, muscle sprains, etc. Serious diseases are not included in this category.
- If she has a cold, she does not drink pills, lies on the sofa and dies, but with breaks for a smoke break and beer in the evenings. After all, he is sick.
- Recently, a gentleman stepped on a shard of glass on the carpet. Well, a little blood flowed out ... I screamed so that they could call the ambulance, they did the disinfection, they plucked my leg and urgently took me to the hospital, otherwise there would be tetanus.
- With a tiny cut on his finger, he fell into bed with a cry: “I can have suppuration! Or maybe even blood poisoning !!! Need to do something...".
- With a cold, a man with a proudly raised head says that the body must fight itself. Usually on day 5, when she can’t speak anymore, her head doesn’t feel the temperature, the wife takes the “bull by the horns”, quickly stuffs him with all the medicinal quick-acting drugs + teas + groundings, etc. In the evening he’s almost a “cucumber” and then a sweet one flies in because the woman spoiled the whole picture of the body, because he only began to fight himself, and then all these medicines prevented him.
- “And how am I going to work tomorrow at that temperature?” .. What? Normal? Normal is 36.6. And 36.9 is a disease. We must call the boss! "
- “Maybe turn out the lights?” Come closer. Give me your hand. Stay with me until the morning. You are the best that I have in this life ... Yes, so what, what is now 12 noon?!?! What does it change?".
Dying swan
Defenseless and requires attention. Ever since childhood, he learned that if he is sick, he is the center of the universe (the deeply hidden complex of a little boy). Now you can do nothing and let everyone tiptoe, look after and pet - he has a full carte blanche.
You have no more and no less than how to reveal yourself from the best side: personally prepare him a healthy chicken stock before his death, feed him from a spoon, stick a blanket and watch only his favorite films with him on DVD.
Type of Persistent Tin Soldier
There is another category of men - until the last they will assure that everything is fine with them. If you yourself in some way known only to you know that he is sick and ill, they will assure you that it seemed.
There may be an outbreak of aggression that you do not give him freedom, control everything, command and he will not come here anymore. A man has no weaknesses, so do not wait for confessions.
In such cases, it can often be that a man tolerates to a state of fainting, when only analgin will no longer help. But even in this case, he will twitch that everything is fine and will not lie in bed.
He categorically does not want to drink medicine, and he must be cunning, as with a child: cough syrups - for tea, medicine powders - for food.
The best thing for these men is prevention. Most “tin soldiers” are supportive of such measures and willingly take immunomodulators if they do not know that this is also a medicine.
Type of folk healer
How do men (when they are ill) behave with this type of worldview? Such a comrade will not go to the doctor. He is not shy about being sick, but only in his own way. It is good if the recipes of the traditional healer are folk, and not homegrown. Then the experiments are unpredictable. Give him folk remedies, in which doctors are indicated among the authors, buy herbal remedies for him only at the pharmacy and from well-known companies.
doubting Thomas
He does not believe in anything, in any medicine. Are men of this type sick? He does not believe doctors, but calls home, does not believe in medicines, but buys in a pharmacy. Doctors do not understand anything, but they need to be called, there will be no help from them, but he demands it.
To treat him, you need to find authority for him. This may be his boss, a respected neighbor, politician, or the chief sanitary doctor of the country Tishchenko. Only then can he be convinced of the need for treatment. And so that he did not interrupt the course of treatment after the first pill, one can again point out the opinion of the authority: “So Tishchenko said that 1 pill would not help, and after the course, as you can see, he’s completely healthy.”
BWM - often sick men
When questioned, they sigh heavily, the face becomes suffering. They will tell you in more detail about a bunch of problems with the intestines or stomach. Sympathy steadfastly resists.
At the same time, homeless people do not panic - they are callous people. They love to drink BWM drugs: both on the recommendation of a doctor and on their own. Especially require care and attention.
Big child
He can squish his nose for weeks, and do nothing, and say that he does not know what to do.
It is not difficult to treat it: with a strict "mother's" voice, order to measure the temperature, put on socks with mustard and open your mouth to swallow the medicine.
Take to the doctor only by the hand, it is better to go to the doctor with him. Questions about well-being confuse him. He wants to leave the office faster, hesitates and will not name half the symptoms.
To recover, he needs to be praised more often, given with medicines and tea with jam, carefully covered for the night.
Forgetful
This one understands everything: it’s bad to get sick, it’s necessary to be treated, but that’s all. A visit to the doctor is constantly delayed, the tablets are dusting on the nightstand. Forgetful repents and forgets everything again.
Sometimes forgetfulness helps to avoid injections. It is better to provide clear instructions with the numbers of cabinets and telephones and ask how it is done. The main thing is without criticism and irritation. To consolidate the effect, the “complications” column can be cited from the medical encyclopedia, especially for potency.
The sickest man in the world
Such men are often sick according to their inner convictions. This doctor calls himself, and not one - starting from the district doctor and ending with the familiar resuscitator and connoisseur of Chinese medicine.
He has a lot of difficulties: he is allergic to fruit drinks, liver is pricking from the broth, and longing is caused by the color of the plaid. Such men are often sick with a pathological fear for their health, hiding general anxiety or simply a low pain threshold. These must be distracted by funny films, walks, change the situation. Just do not moan and do not call his mother with him.
The world's healthiest person
The most common type of “sick man”. The essence of behavior is the same - fear of ailments. But the policy is ostrich - to pretend that nothing is happening. He goes to football, doesn’t go for tests, and doesn’t drink a pill because of the temperature - because they are strong, they can’t be demolished. One can only invoke a sense of responsibility and convey to the knowledge that the virus will kill the whole family without treatment.
How to behave in such situations (naturally, we are talking about minor diseases)?
Men always have a lower pain threshold. Therefore, a woman with minor diseases feels a slight malaise, and a man becomes really ill.
A man is sick - what to do? Syusyukat and feed from a spoon is not necessary, it's overkill. Make dinner, but don’t take time off from work to warm it up for your loved one.
Make the man visit the doctor by any means. You convince that now there is a new type of flu, and there can be the most terrible consequences for the head, heart complications or potency. Therefore, it is important to see a doctor! Better yet, together!
Squeeze out the benefits for the home. While he is on sick leave, load it with light homework - tidy up in your locker or fix the nightstand. And self-pity will go away somewhere.
Behavior after the clinic
How to behave? Is the man sick? The task is quite solvable. Listen carefully to what he wants to say. If a man has already visited a doctor, it is better to look at his card, even call the doctor back, because he will not tell even half of what he should.
But do not do this with him, lest he take care of him for mistrust. Buy the medicine yourself, read their instructions and remind yourself of the rules of admission, so as not to clog your husband’s head with trifles.
If a man has a set of persistent illnesses, learn to help him yourself. For example, with joint inflammation, poisoning, injuries, if it is associated with hobbies or work. Understanding and trust should be in everything.
Provide support if everything is serious
How to support a man when he is sick? Show understanding, care. Do not just take care, but be interested in his well-being, show affection. The more serious the situation, the more affection. Due to illness, he cannot feel useless, inferior and useless to anyone. He must know that he is valued and loved - show him that.
Be considerate, no lamentations, only recommendations in the form of wishes.
Patience
It should be at the forefront. A man can become irritable and moody, grumbling. Make a discount on the disease and do not judge strictly. Do not be offended by the harshness of words in illness. Try to smooth the corners, do not get annoyed in response. For the duration of your husband’s illness, focus more on him.
Your mood
Next to him radiate optimism, no gloom! Everything is as usual, there is no tragedy. And one more thing: do not forget about yourself. Look for positive, chat with friends and family. Go in for sports, eat well. If you have an optimistic attitude and a large margin of patience, the patient next to you will also feel comfort and confidence.
Abstraction
An effective way to help is to try to distract him. Suggest a hobby class - go fishing, watch a new movie, do crafts. Try to find entertainment for your half and distract from problems. Behave naturally, involve him in helping yourself, do not ignore the problems that are.
How to cheer up a patient?
Do not show your panic. Do not stop talking. The psychology of men is sick, which means that it requires communication, not oblivion. Talk to him, even if you want to sit on the sidelines. Speak without gibbering as if he were healthy. No sympathy! It will make you sad. Keep up with your family’s usual topics.
Know how to be silent
Know how to be silent, but be near. Sit down, take his hand. It is sometimes necessary and natural, do not be shy about it.
Emotionally, men are more constrained, but you can discharge it and help remove the emotional block. Share news and events at your workplace or during the day, ask for advice. He should know - they still value him and value his opinion. In a difficult situation of the disease, anyone can become depressed, flushed and irritated. Your moral support must be understanding and generous.
