What are the precautions for exercising with ovarian cancer

Some people believe that cancer patients should not participate in physical exercise, because it will accelerate the body's blood circulation, and the cancer cells in the body will take the opportunity to spread faster along with the blood flow, making the condition worse. This view is completely unscientific. So what are the precautions for ovarian cancer exercise? Let's take a closer look.

After cancer is diagnosed, treatment measures should be taken as soon as possible. After tumor removal or radiotherapy or chemotherapy to control the disease, you should appropriately participate in some physical exercise within your ability. The principle is to do it according to your ability and step by step to improve the body's immune function and increase the number of white blood cells in the blood. White blood cells have the ability to phagocytize cancer cells and bacteria. At the same time, physical exercise can also improve the body's metabolism and enhance the body's resistance. Appropriate physical exercise can play a role in cancer prevention and treatment through the following 4 points.

(1) Can enhance the body’s immune function;

(2) It can promote the body's metabolism, delay cell aging, and reduce the chance of cell canceration;

(3) It can increase appetite and improve digestive function;

(4) It can make people cheerful, eliminate worries and depression, and improve mental health.

Appropriate whole-body activity is necessary for cancer patients after surgery, but it must be based on physical condition and varies from person to person.

(1) If there are no contraindications after surgery, the patient should get out of bed and move around after 1 to 7 days, i.e., early ambulation. The patient can be supported by family members to walk around the ward to promote the recovery of body functions.

(2) If the surgical trauma is severe and the patient has poor physical strength and cannot get out of bed, the patient can do limb exercises and turn over in bed.

(3) If your body recovers well, you can gradually increase the amount of exercise and change the content of your exercise, from walking, qigong, tai chi to aerobics and even jogging.
