How to care after lymphoma surgery

In clinical practice, lymphoma patients should not only receive active treatment, but also take related care. I believe that most patients will have some negative emotions after learning about their condition, which is very unfavorable for the treatment of the disease. Therefore, psychological treatment for lymphoma patients is also very important. Today, the following are the care matters.

1. Developing good living habits, quitting smoking and limiting alcohol consumption are very important for preventing lymphoma.

Smoking. 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 alcohol. Tobacco and alcohol are extremely acidic substances. People who smoke and drink alcohol for a long time are very likely to develop an acidic constitution.

2. Special examinations: routine blood examination, including hemoglobin, white blood cell count and classification, platelet count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, etc.

What are the diagnostic criteria for lymphoma? Blood chemistry tests include urea nitrogen, non-protein nitrogen, creatinine, alkaline phosphatase, total protein and albumin, globulin, transaminase and transpeptidase. This is also the diagnostic method for lymphoma.

The diagnosis of clinical lymphoma first requires the identification of the pathological characteristics of lymphoma and the differentiation from other diseases, such as chronic lymphadenitis, giant lymph node hyperplasia, lymph node tuberculosis, sarcoidosis, lymphocytic leukemia and lymph node metastasis of other malignant tumors. In the past medical history, special attention should be paid to the occurrence and duration of fever, night sweats, and unexplained weight loss of more than 10% in the past 6 months. Combined with these clinical data, various examination methods are further used to confirm the diagnosis.

3. Pay attention to relieving stress

Excessive stress in daily life or a high level of mental tension can cause endocrine disorders, metabolic disorders, and low immune function. It can be seen that excessive mental and psychological stress is one of the important factors that induce cancer. We should maintain a good attitude to cope with stress, learn to relieve and release stress, understand the combination of work and rest, and avoid excessive fatigue.
