The treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma can use self-psychological counseling

The treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma has always been a topic of concern for many patients, because the incidence of nasopharyngeal carcinoma is extremely high. So what are the treatments for nasopharyngeal carcinoma? Below, our experts will introduce the common treatments for nasopharyngeal carcinoma .

1. Self-psychological counseling is one of the treatment measures for nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Usually, after a nasopharyngeal carcinoma patient is diagnosed, radiotherapy begins before he or she has time to adjust his or her mentality. With the emergence of side effects of radiotherapy, nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients may become depressed, pessimistic, and lose confidence in treatment. It is normal to have these psychological activities. We must learn to conduct self-psychological counseling, self-regulate our mental state, learn some health and nursing knowledge, learn to arrange life after illness, understand the effect of radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma, readjust the relationship with family, friends, colleagues, and leaders, maintain an open-minded and cheerful state of mind, divert attention from negative reactions, and thus improve the quality of life.

2. The treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma also includes oral self-care methods. During radiotherapy, the parotid glands and salivary glands of nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients are within the irradiation range, so the functions of the rib glands and salivary glands are suppressed after radiotherapy. The glandular secretions in the mouth decrease, and the self-cleaning function of the mouth disappears. Symptoms such as dry mouth, dry and painful throat, and oral ulcers are common. In order to alleviate these symptoms of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, you can always have a drinking bottle, moisten the mouth frequently, and often use honeysuckle and ophiopogon to soak water to moisten the oral mucosa.

What method is effective for the treatment of nasopharyngeal cancer depends mainly on one's own condition. Experts suggest that the treatment of nasopharyngeal cancer is best carried out under the guidance of a professional doctor. I hope everyone can recover soon and be healthy and happy!
