I think this is something that normal people cannot experience, unspeakable pain. In clinical practice, we often see some cancer patients being tormented by pain, and some serious patients lose their desire to live because of pain, maybe that is why more and more cancer patients want to euthanize. For cancer patients, the second kind of pain is more in line with them, which can be said in the following aspects: 1. Pain directly caused by cancer. Cancer patients themselves have severe pain caused by inflammation, tumor pressing on an organ or nerve, or invasion of surrounding tissues. Most people will have this type of pain. 2. Pain caused by treatment. The pain is caused by discomfort caused by the toxic reaction of the drugs that cancer patients are exposed to during the treatment process. 3.Pain caused by related diseases. During cancer treatment, patients have pain caused by other diseases, such as bone and joint pain, which are common in cancer patients. These pains can also increase the pain of cancer patients themselves, which is commonly called “compound pain”. 4.Psychological pain. Some patients with poor psychological quality, knowing that they have cancer, are in a negative state for a long time and depressed, and this kind of nervous and fearful psychology leads to pain caused by nervousness. Of course, the first three types of pain can be relieved clinically with drugs, but the psychologically caused pain is the most headache for doctors and often requires patients to overcome it by themselves. How should cancer pain be treated? Many cancer patients have pain of varying severity, and doctors are using various ways to give medication to relieve the pain symptoms. Some patients with advanced cancer cannot tolerate the pain, and besides sighing and complaining, they also have the idea of light life, and of course, requesting doctors to euthanize them sometimes, so you can imagine how painful cancer pain is, and who is willing to give up life if they can tolerate it. According to the World Health Organization’s three-step treatment principle, drugs for cancer pain are divided into three stages: 1. non-opioid anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs; 2. opioid analgesic drugs; 3. adjuvant analgesic drugs, sedative drugs and nerve-nourishing drugs, etc. Mild pain If the cancer pain is mild and can be tolerated without affecting normal life, it can be treated according to the first stage. Oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory analgesics and acetaminophen. These analgesics act on the terminal and have antipyretic and anti-inflammatory effects, but they also have more toxic side effects in the early stage, and should be taken under the guidance of doctors to prevent over-dose or over-range use. Moderate pain When moderate pain occurs, it already affects the patient’s quality of life, often with persistent pain, inability to sleep normally, and loss of appetite. At this time, patients need to use analgesic drugs to relieve the pain, and can adopt the principle of second-step transition, giving non-steroidal drugs along with adjuvant analgesics. Valium and hypnotics can be given in the evening, etc. Severe pain The pain at this time is mostly severe pain and the patient’s sleep quality is seriously threatened. At this time, general analgesics are basically ineffective and the treatment should be transitioned from the second to the third step, usually morphine, oxycodone, fentanyl and other drugs are used for the treatment of moderate pain or above, which are the main drugs for the treatment of the third stage of cancer pain with precise efficacy. Warm tip: Please combine the specific medication with clinical practice and be guided by the doctor’s face-to-face consultation. Due to the existence of pain, in order to avoid unnecessary damage caused by drug overdose, when using painkillers, they must be administered under the guidance of doctors, and should not be taken privately due to intolerable pain.
