How to avoid the recurrence of pituitary tumors

For patients with pituitary tumors, the cure rate after surgical treatment is very high. For the patient's health, how to avoid the recurrence of the disease after surgery is also the patient's most concerned issue. Daily care and routine examinations after surgery are the most basic. Here I will explain to you how to avoid the recurrence of pituitary tumors so that you can better understand it.

The recurrence of pituitary tumors depends mainly on the location of their growth. If the tumor is large and grows on or outside the sella turcica, the surgical effect is not ideal, there are more complications such as hypopituitarism, and the chance of recurrence is high. If it is a pituitary microadenoma, the surgical effect is better. If the recurrence can be diagnosed and treated with surgery and radiotherapy in time, the efficiency can reach more than 80%. The key to prevention lies in postoperative medication and timely diagnosis and treatment of recurrence.

1. Develop good living habits, quit smoking and limit alcohol consumption. The World Health Organization predicts that if people stop smoking, the number of cancer cases in the world will be reduced by 1/3 in 5 years. Secondly, do not drink excessively. Tobacco and alcohol are extremely acidic substances. People who smoke and drink for a long time are very likely to develop an acidic constitution.

2. Do not eat too much salty and spicy food, and do not eat overheated, overcold, expired or spoiled food; the elderly and weak or those with certain genetic diseases should eat some anti-cancer foods and alkaline foods with high alkalinity as appropriate, and maintain a good mental state. This is also a preventive measure for brain cancer.

3. Have a good attitude to deal with stress, combine work and rest, and avoid excessive fatigue. It can be seen that stress is an important cause of cancer. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that stress leads to overwork and physical weakness, which in turn causes decreased immune function, endocrine disorders, and metabolic disorders in the body, leading to the deposition of acidic substances in the body; stress can also lead to mental tension, causing qi stagnation, blood stasis, and internal toxic fire.

4. To prevent brain cancer, you need to strengthen physical exercise, improve your physical fitness, exercise more in the sun, and sweat more to excrete acidic substances in the body with sweat, thus avoiding the formation of an acidic constitution.

The above is an introduction to the prevention of pituitary tumors. Prevention of pituitary tumors must start from daily life to avoid recurrence.
