What is the postoperative care for glioma

The treatment of glioma is mainly through surgical removal of the tumor, the purpose is to reduce the number of glioma cells, relieve tumor symptoms, complete tumor pathological diagnosis, etc. There are complications after surgery. Generally speaking, relying solely on a short hospitalization cannot completely alleviate the trauma and complications during surgery. Therefore, postoperative care measures must be taken to avoid recurrence. So, what is the postoperative care of glioma?

First of all, glioma patients should pay attention to their diet after surgery. Patients should eat more vegetables and fruits to promote intestinal peristalsis and help excrete toxins; patients should increase the intake of high-protein, high-nutrition, and easily digestible foods; patients' diets should be adjusted appropriately to increase nutrition and promote recovery.

Secondly, patients should maintain moderate exercise to prevent functional degeneration. After surgical treatment, many patients' families choose to let them recuperate at home out of protective psychology. In fact, according to the degree of recovery of the patient's condition, moderate exercise can help improve the patient's muscle strength and prevent the degeneration of limb function; as the condition improves, doing metacarpophalangeal joint activities and thumb finger exercises can help promote the smooth recovery of the patient's hand function; for patients with limb weakness, family members can try to guide the patient to practice pinching and grasping methods, and then learn to use tools, so that the patient can gain a sense of belonging and emotional satisfaction, as well as the satisfaction of self-care.

In addition, we should enlighten patients and pay attention to psychological protection. Especially for patients in the late stage, most of them have hemiplegia. When they receive surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and other treatments, they are under great psychological pressure. Therefore, we need to enlighten patients and give them hope, which is also crucial for their recovery.

In the home care of patients with brain glioma, it is extremely important to ensure that the patient maintains a good mental state and a mentality of fighting the disease to the end. In addition, it is also extremely important to pay attention to the patient's diet, ensure energy intake, improve the body's immune ability, and ensure that the patient's body functions are normal. Patients and their families should establish a correct awareness, seek medical treatment in time, and master certain nursing methods, which are beneficial to patients without any harm.
