How long can you live after testicular cancer surgery

Surgical treatment has gradually been accepted by testicular cancer patients, but no matter what kind of treatment, it will cause great stimulation and side effects to the patient. More and more people recover from testicular cancer after treatment. This has a lot to do with the attention to health care and nursing after surgery. So how long can you live after testicular cancer surgery? Let's find out together.

The success of the operation is very important for testicular cancer patients. It can prolong their lifespan to a certain extent. However, the physical and mental torture that patients endure during the treatment process is unimaginable for ordinary people. When it comes to the recovery period, both their physical and mental conditions seem to be almost hollowed out. Therefore, better postoperative care is needed to recover better and prolong their lifespan.

Postoperative care for testicular cancer

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, the patient's friends and relatives should give more encouragement. Family members should observe and communicate with the patient's thoughts at any time, pay attention to his or her psychological activities, always care, comfort and comfort the patient, listen patiently to the patient's complaints, make the patient feel the warmth of their loved ones, avoid emotional fluctuations, eliminate worries, keep a good mood, arrange daily life reasonably, and maintain the patient's 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 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.

From the moment you are diagnosed with testicular cancer, you must start taking care of your body. Only better care can promote the body's recovery after surgery or chemotherapy. However, care is a lifelong task. If the patient always pays attention to care, the life expectancy of a testicular cancer patient can reach the age of natural death. So if you want to live longer, you must always cherish yourself. I wish you good health soon.
