Postoperative analgesia for rectal cancer

The onset of rectal cancer will directly affect the patient's quality of life and cause the patient's physical condition to deteriorate. Rectal cancer is a malignant tumor, and many patients are terrified because rectal cancer brings too much pain to patients. Experts point out that for rectal cancer, patients should go to regular hospitals for treatment in time, but many patients experience pain after surgery, which makes them feel miserable. In order to relieve the patient's pain, the patient must take good care after treatment. Let's ask the experts to explain it to you in detail.

To relieve pain after rectal cancer surgery, patients should pay attention to the following points:

1. Dietary conditioning and prevention of liver and kidney damage: Some chemotherapy drugs can cause liver damage and increase transaminase. At this time, you should eat more bitter melon, mung bean sprouts, tea, mushrooms, fungus, Hericium erinaceus and other fungi, eat more fruits rich in vitamins, such as kiwi, peach, apple, grape, etc., drink more green tea, oolong tea, honey water. If the liver function is severely damaged, you can use 20 grams of Schisandra chinensis and 20 grams of wolfberry to stew crucian carp soup.

Some chemotherapy drugs can also cause kidney damage, such as cisplatin. In clinical practice, when using such drugs, you should drink more water and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits (alkaline foods). Once kidney damage occurs, you should limit your protein intake. If you have edema, you should eat less salt and eat more animal kidneys, mullet, spinach and red amaranth. You can also eat more foods rich in water and have a diuretic effect, such as watermelon, cucumber, winter melon, and loofah.

2. Dietary conditioning for decreased blood count: Rectal cancer chemotherapy can cause poor bone marrow regeneration, especially the decrease of white blood cells. In order to effectively prevent the decrease of blood count, patients should supplement high-protein diet during chemotherapy, such as milk, soybeans, lean meat, pig's trotters, sea cucumbers, fish, animal liver, red dates, peanuts, walnuts, black fungus, carrots, red beans, etc. River crabs, black fish, beef, animal-made gelatin such as donkey hide gelatin (ejiao) and pig hide gelatin (roupi gelatin) can also help increase white blood cells.

Traditional Chinese medicine attaches great importance to nourishing the internal organs, so during chemotherapy, you can also increase the amount of animal bone marrow, such as stewing the bone marrow of cattle, goats, and pigs, or making food with chicken blood, duck blood, goose blood, and pig blood. At the same time, you can also eat more five black foods, such as black sesame, black rice, black beans, black dates, etc. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "black can enter the kidneys", and five black foods can nourish the kidneys and fill the marrow, which helps to improve blood counts.

What should I do if I feel pain after rectal cancer surgery? The matters that need attention in the care after rectal cancer surgery have been introduced very clearly above. Only when patients pay attention to self-care can they promote their own condition. Otherwise, the patient's condition is likely to worsen due to his own problems. Rectal cancer patients must pay attention to their daily diet after surgery. I wish the patients a speedy recovery.
