What are the sequelae after laryngeal cancer surgery

In today's society, many people are prone to laryngeal cancer due to bad living habits and irregular work habits, such as working overtime, smoking, drinking, and eating spicy food. At the same time, due to the lack of knowledge about early laryngeal cancer, it cannot be discovered early, and treatment is delayed, resulting in worsening of the disease, sometimes it is already in the late stage when it is discovered. Radiotherapy is often used for laryngeal cancer. While caring about the treatment effect, patients are also concerned about the sequelae of radiotherapy.

The sequelae of laryngeal cancer radiotherapy generally include fatigue, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, loss of taste or change of taste in the mouth, insomnia or drowsiness, etc. Some patients may experience changes in blood counts, especially leukopenia. At this time, family members should comfort and explain to the patients, show more care and consideration for the patients, and relieve their panic.

Radiotherapy is the main treatment for laryngeal cancer, but long-term radiotherapy will have great side effects on the patient's body, mainly a decrease in white blood cells and loss of appetite. Therefore, Chinese medicine can be used as an auxiliary treatment during radiotherapy to reduce the side effects of radiotherapy and inhibit the spread and development of laryngeal cancer cells.

During radiotherapy for laryngeal cancer, patients often experience adverse reactions such as anorexia, nausea and vomiting due to long-term radiotherapy. Under the guidance of the doctor, family members should increase the patient's nutritional intake according to the patient's specific situation, and encourage them to eat more vegetables high in vitamin A, milk, eggs and other high-protein and easily digestible foods to help the body's recovery.

Note: Patients must not be careless after surgery, and should maintain good eating and living habits, especially avoid smoking and drinking, and avoid eating spicy, irritating, and cold foods, so as not to stimulate further development of the disease.
