How to prevent the recurrence of rectal cancer

I believe everyone knows that rectal cancer is a malignant tumor that occurs in the human intestine, and this tumor is prone to recurrence after being cured, and the difficulty of treatment is becoming greater and greater. Therefore, it is better for us not to get rectal cancer. If we want to prevent rectal cancer well, we must pay attention to some things in life. So how to prevent the recurrence of rectal cancer? Let's take a closer look below.

Prevent constipation

After chemotherapy, most patients with rectal cancer have rectal dysfunction and constipation, which is very unfavorable for our prevention work. Because the stool mainly contains some metabolic waste and toxins, long-term accumulation in the intestine will stimulate intestinal mucosal cancer. Therefore, patients with rectal cancer should eat more crude fiber foods, drink more water, keep the stool smooth; appropriately strengthen perianal exercises, warm water baths, to prevent constipation.

Weight control

Exercise is essential to prevent the recurrence of rectal cancer. Some patients will gain weight rapidly after a period of recuperation after surgery, which is not a good thing. You must control your weight and not be too fat, because obesity itself is a risk factor for colorectal cancer. Moreover, obesity will increase the burden on the cardiovascular system, damage organ function, and be detrimental to health.

Exercise more

Patients can do some aerobic exercises appropriately, such as walking, Tai Chi, etc., and maintain an optimistic attitude to enhance their confidence in defeating the disease. In this way, we can stay away from the threat of rectal cancer again.

The three methods to prevent the recurrence of rectal cancer are mainly the three methods introduced in the above article. I hope that rectal cancer patients must pay attention to the above three points during the treatment process, so that rectal cancer will not recur so easily and they can suffer less. If the disease recurs, don't be anxious, it is useless to be anxious, just cooperate with the doctor to receive treatment.
