Post-operative care measures for breast cancer

Nursing plays a very important role in the recovery of patients after breast cancer surgery, and the specific measures are as follows: 1. Diet: Patients are advised to consume high-protein substances and not to eat foods that are too high in fat and sugar. Thus, it is conducive to adequate nutrition and wound recovery. The diet should also be combined with the basic condition of the patient, for example, if the patient himself has diabetes, he should avoid high sugar diet; 2. Adopting appropriate exercise and sports: for example, after breast cancer surgery, even on the day of returning from surgery, in order to prevent the occurrence of blood clots in the lower limbs of the patient, active and passive activities of the lower limbs will be guided to reduce bed rest and high coagulation state, so as not to lead to blood clots. Patients who recover from the basic condition on the 1st to 2nd postoperative day will be given appropriate activities with the help of nursing staff to help strengthen intestinal peristalsis, promote digestion and absorption of food, and better ensure energy and stamina. To improve sleep, good sleep quality also plays a very important role in wound recovery; 3. To prevent patients from different degrees of insomnia due to cancer fear, and discomfort caused by postoperative wound or body position, patients need to be helped and encouraged to ensure a good mood, and the aid of medication can be used if necessary; 4. The reason for body position, as patients are undergoing axillary lymph node dissection, before the wound has healed The upper arm of the affected side, especially the shoulder, is braked. Premature activity, or activity in an autonomous position can lead to more drainage; 5. In addition to physical care, mental care is also very important care. Therefore, patients need to be given encouragement to increase their confidence to overcome the disease.
