Waking up in the intensive care unit after the operation, for each person who once heard the diagnosis of "stomach cancer" begins a new stage in life - rehabilitation after stomach cancer. This is a serious disease requiring a similar serious approach, both to treatment and recovery of the body after the disease.
The causes of this disease are directly related to the wrong way of life. Here are some examples of things that should not be present in the life of the patient:
- Eating foods with pronounced taste: smoked, dried, peppered, salted. Of course, in small doses such products are harmless, but if you use them in large quantities with the rest of the list of "wrong products" in the end, "earn" polyps, ulcers and eventually get stomach cancer.
- Eating foods with a high content of nitrates and nitrites. In particular, we are talking about vegetables and fruits, with long-term use of such products, the cells of the gastrointestinal tract are affected by cells that are carcinogenic metabolites, under the influence of which cancer cells appear.
It should be understood that rehabilitation after stomach cancer involves the exclusion from the diet of all harmful products, including should be removed from the diet: strong tea, coffee and alcoholic beverages, now they are not just under the ban, they are deadly to the health of the patient.
The patient most often suffers from general poor health, anemia and progressive weight loss during rehabilitation. Cancer of the stomach is a disease, after which it is important to observe the daily routine and proper nutrition. Among other things, it is important to take the prescribed medicines on time, it should be done strictly on time and recommendations. Some drugs are worth drinking before eating, others after. Only a clear implementation of these recommendations will shorten the period of rehabilitation and make it more effective.
When rehabilitating stomach cancer, you must follow a strict diet, which is developed under the supervision of a doctor. It is very important to eat small meals every two hours, so as not to overload the stomach, the food should be nutritious, contain vitamins and proteins. Most often, doctors recommend fine-cut food without coarse fibers. Cooking is only a couple or boil, and the temperature of the finished dish should not be more than 37%.After eating, you must immediately go to bed, if the process of feeding causes severe discomfort or pain is better when lying down.
We should also mention the psychological mood of patients during the rehabilitation period. Gastric cancer belongs to severe cancer, so you need to support them, encourage them and help them in everything. Many relatives at first try to eat according to the same program as the patient, or at least not eat harmful, but favorite food in front of the patient. Only with the support of relatives and friends, following all the recommendations of a doctor, you can be rehabilitated after illness, return to a normal lifestyle and overcome all problems.
