How to take care of yourself if you have testicular cancer

With the development of modern medicine, the treatment effect of testicular cancer is getting better and better, which is inseparable from the good care and health care of testicular cancer patients. In the treatment of testicular cancer, doctors choose the best method suitable for patients to treat, and at the same time take care of the patient's diet, psychology, environment and other aspects during the treatment process. So how to take care of testicular cancer? Let's learn about it below.

1. Adjust your diet and exercise appropriately

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.

2. 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.

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.

Finally, I want to say that cancer is around us. If you want to keep it away from you, please start from now on, strengthen your body's health and care, and at the same time keep a good mood, then cancer will naturally stay away from you.
