How to provide psychological care for patients with testicular cancer

We all know that testicular cancer is a very serious and malignant disease. Many of our friends may lose confidence in treatment when they hear that they have this disease. In fact, if we want to treat a disease, we must have the confidence to defeat the disease, so psychological care is very important. So how can patients with testicular cancer provide good psychological care?

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. 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.

3. 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.

4. Pay attention to the environment

The room where the patient lives should be clean and elegant, and the surroundings should be quiet and avoid noise. Keep the room fresh and sunny, open the windows regularly to ventilate, avoid direct wind and prevent cold. Add or remove clothes and quilts at any time according to the temperature changes, and the indoor temperature and humidity should be appropriate. The correctness of postoperative care for testicular cancer has a great impact on our lives. If everyone can know these care methods, they can do the best care in the future and avoid some unnecessary troubles.

There are many treatment measures for testicular cancer, but the treatment of the disease fundamentally depends on people's mental state. Many patients have a very cheerful attitude, which can play a very good and positive role, thereby greatly promoting physical recovery, so psychological treatment is very popular.
