How long after surgery for bile duct cancer can I exercise

Let's first understand what bile duct cancer is. Medically speaking, extrahepatic bile duct cancer is divided into upper hilar bile duct cancer, which is located from the primary bile duct to the opening of the cystic duct; middle bile duct cancer, which is located below the opening of the cystic duct to the upper edge of the pancreas; and lower bile duct cancer, which is located from the upper edge of the pancreas to the wall of the duodenum. So how long after bile duct cancer surgery can you exercise? Let's take a look at this question together.

Generally speaking, you can start walking 5-7 days after surgery. Walking is the only form of exercise that can be maintained for a lifetime, and it is a safe and moderate form of exercise. Regular walking can also lower blood pressure, promote smooth blood flow in the coronary arteries of the heart, increase the level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol in the blood, and relieve pain.

Secondly, you can do jogging for 7-15 days. When jogging, you need to pay attention to breathing adjustment. If you don't adjust your breathing well, it is very easy to switch from aerobic exercise to anaerobic exercise, and the effect will be greatly reduced. Keep the aerobic heart rate between 60% and 80%, so that aerobic exercise is always at the peak. After jogging, you can reduce body soreness, breathe easily, have a ruddy complexion, and increase the oxygen content in the blood.

You can start Tai Chi after one month. It can accelerate the decomposition of fat, sugar and protein in the body, improve cardiopulmonary function, reduce the resistance of blood circulation, and thus reduce the burden on the heart. Tai Chi is a perfect and harmonious art that purifies people's minds and exercises the body. Long-term practice can make people happy, excited, comfortable, emotionally stable and open-minded. Cancer patients are generally anxious, afraid of recurrence, afraid of death, and depressed after treatment. Practicing Tai Chi is very suitable for cancer patients at this time.

The above is an explanation of how long after surgery bile duct cancer patients can exercise. I hope it can help everyone and I wish all patients a speedy recovery.
