Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is a malignant disease originating from hematopoietic stem cells and is commonly seen in middle-aged and elderly people. Common clinical symptoms include: chronic progressive anemia, such as pallor, weakness, palpitations and shortness of breath after activity, and anemia in the elderly often aggravates existing chronic heart and lung diseases; hypo-neutrophilism, manifested by recurrent infections and fever; severe reduction in platelets may lead to skin bruising, nosebleeds, gum bleeding and internal bleeding. Patients diagnosed with MDS should follow the specialist’s advice and actively cooperate with the treatment. Of course, personal habits should also be noted. 1, pay attention to the daily diet It should be said that there is no food that MDS patients can not eat, but we should pay attention to several principles: fresh, clean, warm and cool soft food, avoid pickled and stimulating food, fruit can be peeled best, avoid anti-seasonal fruit. Strengthening nutrition, with dietary therapy, is important to improve the body’s ability to resist disease, to ensure the smooth implementation of various treatments, and to improve the quality of survival of patients. Commonly used nutritious foods include various lean meats (such as cattle, sheep, pigs, rabbits, chickens and ducks), fish, ginseng, eggs and milk, cereals and soy products, all of which are rich in nutrients. In cooking, processing and production, attention should be paid to easy digestion and absorption and less destruction of nutrients. The amount of food should not be too full, chewing should be fine. Fruits and vegetables should also be blended, such as asparagus, shiitake mushrooms and kiwi, which also have certain anti-cancer effects. For patients with frequent blood transfusions that can be accompanied by iron overload, anemia is not caused by iron deficiency and excessive intake of iron-rich foods, such as animal offal, should be avoided. If combined with TCM treatment, please listen to the dietary taboos advocated by TCM physicians. TCM treatment is not advocated during chemotherapy, but TCM can be adjusted after chemotherapy. 2, develop good personal hygiene habits usually avoid contact with toxic and harmful chemicals and radioactive substances, be alert to the damage of hair dyes and insecticides on the human body; keep the room clean, avoid contact with people with colds, go to public places less or less; insist on rinsing your mouth after meals and before going to bed, brush your teeth with a soft-haired toothbrush, keep your bowels clear and keep your anus clean after pooping; pay attention to personal hygiene, cut your nails and wash your hands diligently, do not Blow your nose vigorously. Patients are often prone to boils in sebaceous glands due to fever and sweating, so they should bathe regularly, change their underwear regularly, and cut their hair and shave their beards regularly. Patients who are bedridden for a long time should be turned on time to prevent bedsores. Clinical statistics show that more than 90% of tumor patients are directly or indirectly related to mental and emotional problems. Therefore, patients should pay attention to the regularity of life, keep a good mood and have a good emotion. Good mood is very beneficial to the treatment of any disease. Patients and their family members should keep optimistic spirit and maintain a calm mind to avoid bad mental stimulation that brings more mental burden and affects daily life. Learning to manage one’s emotions and adjusting one’s mental state at the right time can not only regulate the body’s immunity, reduce symptoms and improve the quality of life, but also play a positive role in treatment. The support of family members and friends is also essential. When patients have emotional depression, they should learn to confide in each other, and family members and friends should try their best to accompany them, listen patiently, stay optimistic and encourage them positively.
