Can patients with cervical cancer do daily exercise?

Cervical cancer is usually treated with surgery, which can effectively control the disease and relieve adverse symptoms within a certain range. However, the operation is large and most of the blood vessels and nerves that control the bladder and ureters are stripped, causing bladder dysfunction and urinary retention. Therefore, in order to reduce the occurrence of urinary retention, bladder function training and rehabilitation after cervical cancer surgery are very important.

General exercise: Instruct patients to turn over in bed and do lower limb flexion and extension exercises, anal contraction exercises, lift and contract the pelvic floor muscles, hold for 10 seconds, relax for 4 seconds, repeat, and exercise for 5 minutes each time.

Anal contraction exercise: Instruct the patient to voluntarily contract the muscles around the pubic bone and coccyx without contracting the lower limbs and buttocks muscles, 4 to 6 times a day, and each contraction should last for 5 to 10 seconds.

Interrupted urination training: Divide each urination into several segments (i.e., empty once and hold it in, empty again and hold it in) to exercise the contraction and coordination ability of the internal and external bladder sphincters and the detrusor muscle.

Abdominal muscle training: Perform supine leg-raising exercise according to the patient's actual condition, 3 to 4 times a day, each time for 5 minutes, to increase the strength of the abdominal muscles.

Pay attention to the patient's bladder function recovery. Generally, the patient will continue to catheterize for 5-7 days after surgery, intermittent urination for 2-3 days, with an interval of 2 hours. The patient will simulate the urination habit under physiological conditions at night to maintain or restore normal physiological rules. The residual urine volume will be measured after the patient urinates on his own within 4-6 hours after the catheter is removed. If the residual volume is >100ml, it means that the bladder function has not recovered. The catheter should be retained and opened regularly. Bladder function exercises should be performed until the residual urine volume is
