How should I exercise after colorectal cancer surgery

Cancer treatment is a long-term battle. In addition to surgical treatment, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and other treatment methods during the treatment period, it also includes physical and psychological care in the later stage. In postoperative care, proper exercise is very helpful for the patient's physical recovery. What should patients pay attention to when exercising after surgery?

First of all, the right program is the best. During treatment and rehabilitation, colorectal cancer patients should pay attention to the combination of movement and stillness, and the balance between work and rest. Movement should be diverse, including physical exercise, qigong, tai chi, dance, etc. Stillness should be "adjusting the mind", and we should pay attention to the loss of qi due to overwork, and be wary of qi congestion due to over-rest. Second, we should pay attention to gradual progress and should not rush things. We should understand that haste makes waste. Third, we should pay attention to perseverance. It is particularly worth mentioning that when some discomfort occurs in the body or there are signs of recurrence of the disease, we should consult a doctor for diagnosis or examination in time, and we should not blindly believe in exercise. Fourth, we should pay attention to combining it with emotional adjustment, and organically combine "training the body" and "training the mind".

Secondly, every patient must have a full understanding of his or her own body.

When cancer patients are recovering, physical exercise must be carried out according to the characteristics and physical condition of each patient. The appropriate exercise method and the appropriate amount of exercise must be selected. Therefore, first of all, you must have a detailed understanding of your physical condition. This requires going to the hospital to see a doctor, telling your true feelings after treatment, and taking necessary examinations to let the doctor have a clear judgment of your condition and listen to the doctor's advice. Generally speaking, after exercise, vital signs are stable, the mood is happy, the diet and sleep are good, and the original symptoms are controlled, relieved, improved or cured, indicating that the physical condition is consistent with the amount of exercise... On the contrary, the amount of exercise should be reduced, or suspended and handled in time.
