How should lung cancer patients take care of their bodies? Lung cancer mainly involves three aspects of nursing work

If a person lives in an area with serious air pollution for a long time and has not taken measures to protect his lungs, then this person is very likely to suffer from lung cancer. At the same time, lung cancer is a very scary disease, so how should lung cancer patients take care of their bodies?

1. Psychological care

Lung cancer is a psychological blow to any patient. Long-term psychological depression caused by the disease is more harmful to physical health, so psychological care for patients with advanced lung cancer should be carried out first. Many patients with lung cancer will experience sadness, fear, anxiety and other psychological states in the late stage. Some patients will become indifferent and lonely. Family members need to have a high sense of responsibility and sympathy, and strive to provide a harmonious and warm environment for patients so that their bad psychological state can be mediated.

2. Diet care

As the saying goes, food is the first necessity of the people. If you develop good eating habits and eat scientifically and regularly to supplement the nutrients needed by the body in time, your health will be guaranteed. Lung cancer is very destructive to the patient's body, so dietary care is also an important part that cannot be ignored. Lung cancer patients need to supplement enough calories to facilitate the body's adjustment. When the calorie supply is insufficient, they need to take certain drugs to supplement calories to promote muscle protein synthesis. In addition, patients also need a balanced supplement of other nutrients.

3. Medication

If you have lung cancer, you must take medicine, otherwise it is difficult to effectively control and alleviate the disease. There are many drugs used to treat lung cancer clinically, so drug conditioning for patients with advanced lung cancer is also a key content of nursing. Western medicine works quickly, but the efficacy is unstable, has certain side effects, and is prone to recurrence of symptoms. Patients can use traditional Chinese medicine with stable efficacy for care.

Every lung cancer patient not only needs to take correct care methods, but also must actively receive treatment and listen carefully to the doctor's advice, while also living a happy life. Only in this way can they alleviate their condition and stay away from lung cancer as soon as possible.
