Nursing Guide for Testicular Cancer

In recent years, the incidence of testicular cancer has been increasing. In addition to actively cooperating with the treatment of the attending physician, the care and health care of testicular cancer has also improved the patient's cure rate to a certain extent. At the same time, through communication and encouragement, patients can maintain hope of survival. Let us now learn about the care guidelines for testicular cancer.

1. Follow-up observation of the condition

After receiving treatment, patients should go to the hospital for regular checkups, usually every other month after surgery. As time goes by, the interval between checkups will be gradually extended. Do not be afraid to seek medical attention, and take the initiative to go to the hospital for examination if there is any condition. Do not blindly take medicine or secret prescriptions for treatment. For patients with serious conditions who cannot take care of themselves, they should be advised to stay in bed and move less, pay attention to skin care, turn over regularly, scrub the skin with warm water every day, massage the hands and feet, and apply safflower oil and alcohol to the pressure parts to prevent bedsores.

2. Adjust your diet and do some exercise

After a long illness, the patient's physical condition becomes weak and the consumption of calories and protein is high. This can be regulated by supplementing dietary nutrition and water. Testicular cancer patients should have appropriate meals with high-calorie, high-protein, and high-vitamin foods, absolutely quit smoking and prohibit excessive drinking, and avoid eating stimulating foods.

3. Pay attention to psychological care

Cancer patients have a heavy mental burden, and are prone to pessimism and world-weariness. First of all, patients should be strong in facing the disease, establish a firm belief in defeating cancer, and avoid negative emotions. On the other hand, friends and relatives of patients should give more encouragement. Family members should observe and communicate with patients at any time, pay attention to their psychological activities, care and comfort patients at all times, listen to patients' stories patiently, make patients feel the warmth of their loved ones, avoid emotional fluctuations, eliminate worries, keep a good mood, arrange daily life reasonably, and maintain patients' hope of survival.

4. Pay attention to the environment

The patient's room should be clean and elegant, with quiet surroundings and avoid noise. Keep the room fresh and sunny, open windows regularly to ventilate, avoid direct wind and prevent cold. Add or remove clothes and blankets at any time according to temperature changes, and keep the indoor temperature and humidity appropriate.

The nursing guidelines for testicular cancer play an important role in the treatment and psychological counseling of patients. In addition to the treatment and care of medical staff, patients need more communication and love from their family members, which can greatly soothe the patients' pain.
