How to care after colon cancer surgery?

After colon cancer surgery, care can generally be provided through methods such as strengthening dietary care, strengthening skin management, and standardizing drug use.

1. Strengthen dietary care: Colon cancer is a malignant tumor that originates from the colon mucosal epithelium. As the tumor volume increases, it will lead to a decrease in the volume of the intestinal cavity, which is mainly manifested by changes in the nature of defecation, abdominal pain, blood in the stool and other symptoms. When the conditions for surgery are met, surgery can generally be performed. The colon area cannot return to normal immediately after surgery, so dietary care should be strictly strengthened at this time. You can eat some light and easily digestible foods, such as millet porridge, soft noodles, etc.

2. Strengthen skin management: After colon surgery, there will be incisions on the local skin, and the local soft tissue cannot heal immediately in a short time. Keep the local skin clean, avoid excessive scratching, and avoid wound infection, which will affect postoperative recovery.

3. Standardize the use of drugs: After surgery, you need to use amoxicillin capsules, cefuroxime axetil granules, cefuroxime axetil granules and other drugs under the guidance of a doctor. Standardizing the use of these drugs can prevent and treat infections and help heal wounds after surgery.

In addition to the common care methods mentioned above, it also includes strengthening daily care. Colon cancer patients should also go to the hospital for regular check-ups as recommended by the doctor to understand their specific recovery status.
