1 lead to endocrine disorders Hui Jin, chief physician of the endocrinology department of Zhong Da Hospital affiliated to Southeast University (hereinafter referred to as Zhong Da Hospital), said that some studies have found that using electronic products such as mobile phones and tablets two hours before going to bed will inhibit melatonin secretion and lead to insomnia, which will lead to endocrine disorders in the long run. The common manifestation is acne on the face, which may even lead to metabolic diseases such as diabetes.

Professor Wu Xiaotao, director of spine surgery in Zhong Da Hospital with cervical spine injury, pointed out that looking down at mobile phones for a long time is an important reason for the rejuvenation of cervical spondylosis. If you bow your head for too long, the pressure on the cervical spine will increase, which will lead to changes in the flexion of the cervical spine, which will easily lead to cervical disc herniation and cervical instability.

3 Injured lumbar vertebrae Wu Xiaotao said that there are still people who like to play with their mobile phones while lying half-lying, which will hurt the lumbar vertebrae. Because in the semi-supine position, due to the lack of adequate support, the original curvature of the lumbar spine will change, so that the gravity on the intervertebral disc will continue to increase, and over time it will induce disc herniation.

Zhang Jue, an attending physician at the Plastic Surgery Center of Zhong Da Hospital, said that when playing mobile phones, the pressure on the human neck is greater than usual, and the neck muscles grow vertically, which makes it easy to sag. In addition, lower head extrusion will shorten the neck muscles, lead to accelerated aging of epidermal cells and deepen neck wrinkles.
