Psychological care for patients with tongue cancer before and after surgery

Many people think that they will not live long if they have cancer, and they become very pessimistic and disappointed, losing their passion for life. Some even have dizzy thoughts. How can we comfort the psychology of cancer patients, especially tongue cancer patients, whose mood is difficult to calm down. Many tongue cancer patients need necessary psychological care.

1. Pay attention to adjusting your diet. Cancer patients should try to increase their appetite during the recovery period. The food should be clean, with a combination of meat and vegetables, coarse and fine foods, and a combination of coarse and fine foods. The food should not be monotonous or too greasy, but should be easy to digest and absorb. When eating, the environment should be relaxed, the mood should be happy, and you should not be partial to certain foods, not eat too much, and not overeat.

2. Live a regular life, do not stay in bed, do not overwork, and do not act according to your temper. A regular life can keep the body in a normal working state, so that the recurrence and metastasis of the tumor will have no chance to take advantage.

3. Be energetic, optimistic, and have a colorful life. This may help you win the battle against cancer. If you are mentally stressed, emotionally fragile, or easily emotionally volatile, you will have trouble sleeping and eating, and your body's ability to fight cancer will decrease, leading to worsening of the disease.

4. Do appropriate physical exercise. Improving physical fitness will naturally enhance the ability to fight cancer. Patients can choose activities such as walking, jogging, Tai Chi, swordplay, swimming, etc. according to their physical condition. The amount of exercise should be moderate without feeling tired.

5. Actively treat other complications. Since cancer patients generally have weak constitutions and are often accompanied by complications such as upper respiratory tract infections, pneumonia, enteritis, diabetes, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, etc., active treatment is required during the recovery period.

Therefore, guiding the psychology of tongue cancer patients is something that every medical staff and family members must understand. Psychological care is an important part of treatment, and mental health will make surgery more effective.
