Breast cancer is a common malignant tumor disease for women. At present, breast cancer has become the number one "killer" threatening women's health. In clinical practice, there are many factors that cause women to suffer from breast cancer. In addition to genetic factors, acquired environmental factors are also important reasons why women are prone to breast cancer.
Although breast cancer has a chance of being completely cured with the advancement of medical technology, women are prone to suffering from other complications during the treatment of breast cancer, such as: these three common diseases may be "accessories" of breast cancer. For breast cancer patients, they need to learn to deal with it correctly.
1.Osteoporosis
For women with breast cancer, they may also suffer from osteoporosis during the treatment of breast cancer. As we all know, osteoporosis is a disease that causes the human bones to become fragile and easily lead to fractures due to the decrease in bone density in the human body. In addition to the loss of calcium in the human body, another important factor is the hormone changes in the human body.
For breast cancer patients, because the patient's ovaries are prone to premature failure during chemotherapy, which can easily lead to a decrease in the estrogen level in women. The decline in the estrogen level in women will affect the health of women's bones to a certain extent, thereby increasing the chance of patients suffering from osteoporosis.
So for breast cancer patients, during the treatment period, they need to adjust their diet reasonably and actively supplement the body with sufficient calcium and vitamin D, so that they can prevent osteoporosis.
2. Cardiovascular disease
According to clinical studies, no matter which treatment method is chosen for breast cancer patients, they will increase their risk of cardiovascular disease to a certain extent. The most common ones are heart failure , acute myocardial infarction, heart rate disorders and coronary heart disease and other diseases.
The reason why breast cancer patients are prone to this type of cardiovascular disease is mainly because during the treatment, patients are likely to fluctuate in the blood lipids levels in the body due to changes in hormone levels in the body, and some targeted therapeutic drugs will cause trauma to the human heart to a certain extent.
Therefore, when the human heart and blood vessels are affected by long-term fluctuations of drugs and blood lipids, they are very prone to lesions, which in turn leads to a series of cardiovascular diseases.
Therefore, during the treatment period, breast cancer patients should also pay more attention to their blood lipid levels, adjust their lifestyle, and stay away from some foods with high cholesterol and high fat as much as possible, so as to reduce their risk of cardiovascular disease.
3. Mental diseases
Some breast cancer patients may also suffer from some mental diseases due to various adverse emotions such as inferiority, anxiety, pessimism, depression or fear during the treatment process, which will affect the treatment effect of the patients.
Therefore, for patients with breast cancer, in order to avoid affecting the treatment effect of cancer and increase the risk of cancer recurrence, during the treatment of cancer, patients should also actively take psychological defenses, establish confidence in overcoming the disease, actively cooperate with doctors for treatment, and seek guidance from psychologists if necessary.
