What are the diet and maintenance after colon cancer surgery

Colon cancer is one of the common malignant tumors. Due to various stresses in life and irregular diet, the incidence of colon cancer is getting higher and higher. Postoperative recurrence and metastasis are important causes of death. Colon cancer patients should pay attention to postoperative diet conditioning. So, let's take a look at the diet and maintenance after colon cancer surgery.

After colon cancer surgery, it is necessary to ensure adequate intake of nutrients. Patients can eat some fish on a regular basis. Fish contains many nutritious substances that are good for the patient's body. Patients can also drink some fruit juice appropriately, especially freshly squeezed fruit juice, which is rich in vitamins. Avoid eating raw, cold and spicy foods. Patients also need to pay attention to drinking more boiled water. It is important to maintain a good attitude.
After surgery, patients with colon cancer should eat more easily digestible and soft semi-liquid foods, such as millet porridge, thick lotus root soup, rice soup and cornmeal porridge, because these foods can reduce intestinal irritation and can pass through the patient's intestinal cavity smoothly, which helps prevent intestinal obstruction, so it is very beneficial to the patient's recovery.
After surgery, colon cancer patients can also eat more vegetables rich in dietary fiber, such as celery, leeks, cabbage, and radishes. These foods can not only supplement the patient's body with necessary nutrients, but also prevent the patient from constipation, so they are also helpful for the patient's recovery.
