Can I exercise if I have bile duct cancer?

Cholangiocarcinoma is a type of cancer with a high incidence rate. It is particularly harmful to health and the body is often overwhelmed. Some patients with cholangiocarcinoma have some doubts. Can they still exercise like others in this physical condition? Today we will talk about whether you can exercise if you have cholangiocarcinoma?

Some people believe that people with bile duct cancer should not exercise because exercising will speed up the body's blood circulation, which will allow cancer cells in the body to spread faster along the bloodstream and worsen the condition.

This view has no scientific basis. Of course, after bile duct cancer is diagnosed, treatment measures should be taken as soon as possible. After the tumor is removed or the disease is controlled by radiation or chemotherapy, you should appropriately participate in some activities within your ability to improve the body's immune function. When you participate in activities, the number of white blood cells in the blood will increase, and white blood cells have the ability to phagocytize cancer cells and bacteria. At the same time, activities can also improve the body's metabolism and enhance the body's resistance. The principle for bile duct cancer patients to participate in exercise is to do what they can and proceed step by step.

Appropriate exercise can help prevent bile duct cancer through the following 4 points.

(1) Can enhance the body’s immune function;

(2) It can promote the body's metabolism, delay cell aging, and reduce the chance of cell canceration;

(3) It can increase appetite and improve digestive function;

(4) It can make people cheerful, eliminate worries and depression, and improve mental health.

Biliary duct cancer is a relatively common disease. I believe many people are afraid of it. Some patients want to know how to exercise if they have such a disease. Doctors point out that if symptoms such as pain occur, you should pay attention to rest. You can do some aerobic exercises in normal times, such as jogging. However, patients must be careful not to overwork to prevent worsening of the condition.
