Is it suitable to exercise for patients with prostate cancer bone metastasis?

Appropriate exercise is acceptable for patients with prostate cancer bone metastasis, but low-intensity, low-impact exercise should be selected based on the patient's specific situation and the doctor's advice. Exercise not only helps maintain physical function, but also helps alleviate certain adverse reactions associated with cancer treatment.

Because patients with bone metastasis have fragile bones, they need to focus on avoiding additional pressure or damage to the bones when exercising. Recommended exercises include walking, mild stretching exercises, and water exercises, such as walking in water or water gymnastics. Walking is the simplest and safest way for patients with bone metastasis to maintain basic mobility, while helping to improve blood circulation and overall quality of life. Mild stretching exercises can maintain joint flexibility and reduce muscle stiffness. Water exercises are an ideal choice for physical exercise because the buoyancy of water can reduce the body's pressure on bones. However, high-impact activities, such as running, jumping, or strength training, should be avoided as much as possible to avoid fractures or other complications. Regardless of the exercise chosen, patients need to pay attention to body signals, especially when they feel pain, fatigue, or discomfort, they should stop exercising immediately and contact a doctor.

During exercise, you should pay attention to safety and avoid slippery surfaces and complex terrain to reduce the risk of falling. It is recommended to consult a professional doctor or rehabilitation therapist before starting exercise, and seek guidance from professionals. At the same time, you need to combine a reasonable diet and adequate rest to cooperate with treatment. If you experience persistent pain or other abnormalities after exercise, you need to seek medical evaluation in time. Moderate exercise can help patients with bone metastasis improve their mental state and quality of life while maintaining physical health, but the premise is scientific planning and professional support.
