What should you pay attention to after gastric cancer surgery? Pay attention to these three points

There are many things to pay attention to after gastric cancer surgery, especially the dietary care. Liquid food should be the main food for two days after the surgery. When adjusting the diet, you must pay attention to the problem of anemia to avoid affecting the recovery of the body. Finally, pay attention to the follow-up work and control your emotions, which is beneficial to the recovery of the body.

In life, many people will have physical abnormalities due to unreasonable diet. For example, because of busy work, irregular meal times, eating too much raw and cold food, or spicy food, etc., it is easy to cause cancer, such as gastric cancer. Many patients have no symptoms when they get sick, which easily delays treatment. In severe cases, surgery is required. Let's take a look at the precautions after gastric cancer surgery.
1. Liquid food <br/>Patients cannot eat after gastric cancer surgery. They have to wait until the normal intestinal peristalsis is restored and the anus is exhausted. After the tube is removed, the patient can drink some soup, 4 to 5 tablespoons each time. It is recommended to feed the patient once every two hours. If there are no other discomfort symptoms, it is recommended to prepare a small amount of liquid food for the patient on the second day, and the amount should be controlled at 50ml~80ml/time. You can slowly resume your diet, mainly light and easily digestible food.
2. Prevent anemia <br/>Even if the tumor is removed surgically, the patient still needs to take multiple medications to treat and prevent its growth. After illness, the patient may have anemia problems, especially iron deficiency anemia. In this case, it is recommended that the patient eat more foods high in iron and pay attention to consulting a doctor for relevant protective measures.
3. Regular check-ups <br/>There are many unexpected situations after gastric cancer surgery. Some patients may have occult blood in their stools due to improper care, or have an improper diet. In these cases, it is necessary to be alert to the possibility of cancer cells recurring. In such cases, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a check-up in time and undergo gastrointestinal fluoroscopy and gastroscopy under the guidance of a doctor to avoid the recurrence of gastric cancer without knowing it and endangering your health.
After gastric cancer surgery, care should be taken in all aspects. If the care is not done properly, it is likely to cause irreversible damage to the patient. In short, you must be careful to take good care of yourself so that the body can slowly recover. After all aspects are adjusted, it is also conducive to the body's recovery as soon as possible.
