Chemotherapy is mainly aimed at some cells with relatively vigorous metabolism, such as the gastrointestinal tract, which will have a certain impact.
Because the gastrointestinal mucosa is metabolized every day, necrotic and shedding cells and new cells are carried out every day, chemotherapy drugs will have a certain impact on these faster-growing cells. It is manifested in gastrointestinal reactions, such as nausea, vomiting, and even diarrhea. How to reduce the side effects after chemotherapy?
First of all, the gastrointestinal side effects brought by chemotherapy can be controlled by some drugs, such as using some antiemetic drugs and serotonin inhibitors, which can inhibit the patient's central vomiting reaction. But this reaction is only relatively controlled. Sometimes the drug reaction is too big or the patient is more sensitive, so this vomiting reaction will still be reflected.
As the chemotherapy time is longer and the number of chemotherapy increases, the patient's reaction will become more and more obvious. At this time, we can appropriately use some easy-to-digest or easy-to-appetize medicines to help patients open up their appetite and maintain nutrition.
Some patients have the habit of picky eating, so they have to adapt to the patient. At this time, they cannot emphasize what they can eat and what they cannot eat, or they are taboo. At this time, they should let the patient know that as long as they like to eat, what they want to eat, and what they have appetite, let him eat as soon as possible. Because only in this way can we open up our appetite and let the patients satisfy their daily nutrition.
Secondly, there is another side effect of chemotherapy, which is Hair loss . Don’t be nervous about hair loss. The hair loss is due to the effect of the drug, but after the chemotherapy treatment is over, the hair growth will return to normal. So don't worry, and don't be too scared. During chemotherapy, all patients can do is wear a hat or a wig, and just go through this treatment period temporarily. Do you need to avoid
after chemotherapy? How to quickly supplement nutrition?
We say whether diet needs to be avoided is related to whether the lesions are causal.
For example, if hypertension patients eat too salty and retain water and sodium, their blood pressure is easily stimulated and increased. Diabetes patients, while treating, eating sugar and starch-containing foods, such as rice. If they are sweet, their blood sugar will easily rise and diabetes will not be easily controlled.
So whether you need to avoid food is some scientific evidence. However, for malignant bone tumors, , there is currently no clear evidence to explain which foods can promote the growth of bone tumors.
For example, the general public will say that chickens are caused by food, and tumors are prone to recur after eating them. However, when we do experiments and research, there is no evidence that chicken, eggs, or so-called "drain" foods can accelerate, stimulate tumor recurrence, or affect tumor growth.
So, for patients with bone tumors, there is no need to consider avoiding the food at present.
Why should we strengthen nutrition after chemotherapy?
This is because the tumor is an exhaustive lesion, which is equivalent to a vampire. It plunders a lot of nutrients in the human body, so people become very thin.
So after chemotherapy, you should supplement protein . The protein here can be a variety of meat and egg foods. In short, you must ensure that you have sufficient protein intake to ensure that your body has sufficient nutrition. Because of the human body's immunity, immune cells all rely on immunoglobulin , and immunoglobulin is produced by protein raw materials. So you do not guarantee the input of these raw materials, how to produce these immunoglobulins, and how to produce resistant cells.
Generally speaking, if you want to improve your immunity, you need to supplement enough protein so that you can enhance your resistance and fight against tumors.
