What are the nursing measures for patients with rectal cancer

The occurrence of rectal cancer will bring more pain to patients, thus harming their health and making them fall into pain. Friends should be alert to the occurrence of rectal cancer, and the care of this disease should also attract the attention of friends. So what are the care measures for patients with rectal cancer? Regarding this issue, let’s take a closer look below.

Regular check-ups to prevent recurrence. Cancer is a disease that requires long-term observation and treatment. You should keep in touch with the doctor who is treating you. In the first two years, you should have a check-up every three months; in the third to fifth years, you should have a check-up every six months; and after the fifth year, you should have a check-up every year so that you can find out whether there is recurrence or metastasis in time. Once abnormalities are found, they should be treated immediately. Strengthen nutrition and enhance self-repair ability. Like all malignant tumors, the energy required for the growth process of rectal cancer is more than that consumed by normal tissues of the body. Therefore, each patient should ensure sufficient calories and sufficient vitamins and inorganic salts, especially vitamins C, A and E, under the guidance of a doctor. In addition, patients with rectal cancer should eat more vegetables and fruits. Diet should be regular and quantitative, eat small meals, and eat foods that are easy to absorb and digest. Patients with rectal cancer should correct bad habits. Develop good eating habits, be determined to quit the habit of drinking and smoking, do not eat salted, smoked, grilled, or moldy foods, keep bowel movements unobstructed, and measure weight regularly.

Patients with rectal cancer should develop good living and eating habits, eat less chili and other foods, so as to keep us away from the troubles of the disease. Patients with rectal cancer must face reality and build confidence. A strong desire to survive is more important than any good care and treatment. It is very unfortunate to have rectal cancer. All patients with cancer, whether they realize it or not, have actually been on the front line of fighting cancer from the moment they are diagnosed with cancer. Fear, anxiety, despair and other extremely painful psychological emotions will follow. In clinical work, we have seen that under the same medical conditions, some patients who "think open-mindedly" and face reality often have much better treatment effects than those patients who are frightened by cancer and don't know what to do. If a person's spirit is broken, even the best treatment and care will be in vain.

Balance your mind and readjust your life. The care of rectal cancer requires appropriate new adjustments to your daily life. Many cancer patients are used to a busy working life. After getting sick, they suddenly slow down their pace of life, feel at a loss psychologically, and have a sense of weightlessness. At this time, patients should rearrange their lives, regularize their daily life, and receive treatment. They should also cultivate interests and hobbies in life from many aspects and seek new spiritual sustenance. This is conducive to the regulation and stability of the internal environment and also plays a positive role in the recovery of the disease.

Rectal cancer patients should also pay attention to physical exercise and improve immunity. Many cancer patients and their families think that if they have cancer, they should rest. In fact, during the period of rectal cancer patients recuperating at home, insisting on exercise is one of the important measures for patients to recover. Appropriate participation in fitness activities can not only increase the body's immunity, improve blood circulation, and promote metabolism, but also eliminate depression and relax the tense spirit. However, exercise should be done according to one's ability and step by step. Seek truth from facts and respect science. The treatment and rehabilitation of rectal cancer must be under the guidance of medical staff, and a complete and systematic plan must be correctly formulated. Patients should insist on implementation and objectively understand the condition. They should neither be careless nor rush to seek medical treatment or take medicine blindly.

After we understand the above knowledge, we have a clear understanding of the care methods for rectal cancer. Many people will have symptoms of rectal cancer in life, which will bring a lot of pain to patients. Friends must pay attention to their physical condition and seriously understand the care methods for rectal cancer.
