Methods to prevent recurrence of rectal cancer after surgery

Rectal cancer is a common malignant tumor with a very high incidence rate. Although the disease is curable, many patients do not know how to take care of themselves after the disease is cured, which causes the recurrence of the disease. This makes the disease more difficult to treat. Therefore, in addition to active treatment, it is also very important for rectal cancer patients to prevent the recurrence of the disease.

1. Prevent constipation

After treatment, patients are prone to some sequelae, the most common of which is constipation, which is very unfavorable for recovery from the disease. Therefore, patients should eat more foods containing crude fiber and drink more water to facilitate smooth bowel movements.

2. Control your weight

Many patients rarely move during the recovery stage, and if they often eat high-nutrition foods, their weight will increase rapidly, which is very detrimental to the recovery of the disease. Therefore, they must control their weight to avoid increasing the burden on the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems and causing danger.

3. Exercise more

Patients should not always stay at home. When the weather is good, they should go outdoors to do some aerobic exercise, take a walk, or jog to improve their body's immunity. At the same time, they should maintain a happy mood and stay away from the threat of rectal cancer again.

Diet is very important for patients with rectal cancer. People with hemorrhoids and constipation are at high risk of the disease. Therefore, in daily life, everyone should ensure smooth bowel movements. If there is blood in the stool, you should go to the hospital for examination in time.
