How do patients with liver cancer exercise?

The diagnosis and treatment of liver cancer is the key to rehabilitation, and rehabilitation exercise after diagnosis and treatment is also of great significance. It can promote the patient's physical fitness and immunity, cooperate with rehabilitation treatment, and prevent the recurrence of liver cancer. Therefore, liver cancer patients need to pay special attention to physical exercise during the rehabilitation stage during and after treatment. So, what are the exercise principles and methods for liver cancer patients during the rehabilitation period?

How can liver cancer patients exercise?

1. Time and place of exercise: Generally in the morning and after dinner, the best time is 15 to 30 minutes; avoid going to public places where people gather to avoid catching colds and other epidemic or infectious diseases.

2. Take it step by step and gradually increase the amount of exercise. Patients should choose the exercise that suits them according to their own body, especially for liver cancer patients. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "standing for a long time will hurt bones, and walking for a long time will hurt tendons." And "the kidney governs bones, and the liver governs tendons." Therefore, fatigue will hurt the liver.

Therefore, in the early stage of exercise, the amount of exercise should be small, and as the patient's body function improves, the amount of exercise can be gradually increased. After reaching the required intensity, it is necessary to maintain the exercise at this level; sudden and unlimited increase in the amount of exercise should be avoided to avoid side effects. Especially for patients with liver cancer who have been bedridden for a long time, it usually takes a considerable period of time to resume their original physical activities.

It is advisable to walk slowly or stroll, and go to the park to practice Tai Chi and Qigong in the morning and evening, which can regulate the body and aid recovery. Do not exercise too vigorously or tire yourself out. Vigorous activities are harmful to liver cancer patients. You must prevent the risk of bleeding caused by collisions and injuries. Therefore, vigorous exercises such as running, playing ball, swimming, and climbing are not suitable for liver cancer patients.

If you find that these symptoms are not present during exercise, you must stop exercising in time and inform your doctor immediately. It is recommended that patients exercise with the assistance of caregivers and family members to ensure their safety and prevent emergencies.
