How to do rehabilitation exercises for early stage ovarian cancer

Exercise is very important for ovarian cancer patients. First, exercise can divert attention and relax the mind. Second, it can exercise the heart and lungs, accelerate the repair of surgery and chemotherapy damage, improve immunity, and prepare for long-term struggle. Third, the large amount of hormones used during chemotherapy can easily aggravate osteoporosis. Exercise plus calcium supplementation can slow down the progression of osteoporosis and reduce obesity caused by hormones.

During the recovery period of ovarian cancer patients, if there are no special contraindications, they can do some exercise. If they have poor physical strength after surgery, they can do some physical exercises. When their bodies recover well, they can do some physical exercises, but the intensity should not be too high, such as walking, jogging, qigong, and gymnastics. Gradually increase the amount of exercise and change the content of exercise. At the same time, they can also do some housework, such as buying groceries, simple indoor cleaning, etc., which can not only exercise their limbs, but also increase their sense of family responsibility, which is more conducive to the patient's integration into the family and society after recovery. The principle of exercise is not to make the patient feel tired.

In daily life, proper exercise can ensure the health of the body and relieve the stress brought by life. Many people often neglect the protection of their bodies due to their busy work, and exercise very little. In clinical practice, according to surveys, many ovarian cancer patients do not exercise regularly, so exercise is still very effective in preventing the disease.
