Although mobile phones are good, do you know how to deal with these hazards?
Too much use of mobile phones can cause tenosynovitis.
Use your mobile phone to send WeChat, play games too much, and use your thumb frequently for a long time. The tendon sheath of your thumb (the red part in the figure below) causes inflammation, swelling and limited movement due to too frequent activities, thus causing pain.
Tenosynovitis is a chronic strain disease. Correcting long-term incorrect posture is the key to prevention.
Correct way:
-
If you can use voice input, you will type less, and if you can use two hands, you will use less one hand.
-
If you use your mobile phone for more than half an hour, you need to stop and relax.
-
Ensuring full rest of fingers and wrists can relieve pain.
If you still cannot relieve the pain, you can go to a doctor and adopt other treatment methods.

Lying and watching mobile phones may cause myopia.
When lying down and using a mobile phone, it is easy to read at a relatively close distance for a long time. Moreover, the unstable posture of holding the mobile phone in the arm cannot guarantee that the distance between the eyes and the screen is fixed, and the muscles of the eyeball need to be controlled to adjust continuously from far to near, which is easy to cause asthenopia and lead to myopia.
Correct way:
-
Pay attention to posture, don’t lie down or look at your cell phone on your stomach.
-
The best distance between eyes and mobile phones is about 30cm.
-
Move every half hour, look out into the distance, close your eyes and rest.
To prevent myopia, it is not enough to only pay attention to the way of using mobile phones. Click [Myopia] to learn more tips.
