What is the nursing method for thyroid cancer?

1. Psychological care

Thyroid cancer patients are emotionally unstable, usually impatient, irritable, easily angered, easily excited, and often accompanied by anxiety, irritability, fear, etc. Therefore, interpersonal relationships are often poor. In this regard, on the one hand, we should use Chinese and Western medicines to help them improve their physiological state, including endocrine state, and if necessary, some anti-anxiety and anti-depressant psychotropic drugs can also be used; on the other hand, for the care of thyroid cancer patients, we should do a good job of psychological counseling and psychological correction, and take a two-pronged approach to help them stabilize their emotions, adjust their mentality, and optimize their personality, so as to achieve the best therapeutic effect.

2. Diet care

The correct way to care for thyroid cancer patients in diet is as follows. Thyroid cancer patients are very particular about the use of iodine. For example, people in coastal areas who are used to eating seafood are likely to be iodine-dependent when they develop thyroid tumors. They should eat non-iodized salt and eat less kelp, seaweed, mussels, shellfish, etc. to reduce iodine intake. Spicy and hot foods such as beef, dog meat, mutton and hot pot should not be eaten, because these patients often have yin deficiency and hyperactivity of fire.

3. Proper exercise

Patients with thyroid cancer can undergo moderate physical exercise, such as Tai Chi, slow walking or strolling, but they should be moderate. Such patients often rush into things too hastily and are eager for quick results. Therefore, during physical exercise, patients should be warned not to rush for quick results, but to be steady and orderly, and pay attention to slow and gradual progress.
