How to carry out rehabilitation exercises at home The process of postoperative lung cancer rehabilitation mainly focuses on promoting lung reopening, lung function exercises, dietary regulation, psychological support and other comprehensive measures, with the goal of enabling patients to return to a more normal state and restart their social life as soon as possible. Many patients suffer from shortness of breath and cough after lung cancer surgery, and some of them have more severe coughs, often coughing without saying a whole sentence or coughing desperately when inhaling a little cool breeze. However, with time, these symptoms will be gradually reduced and eventually disappear. In the early postoperative period, some cough suppressants can be applied, or the application of some Chinese herbs will also help to improve the symptoms of cough. The shortness of breath can be gradually relieved with the strengthening of functional exercise. However, there are some patients who continue to have shortness of breath and cough, and it is necessary to consult a respiratory medicine specialist to see if there is a problem of cough variant asthma. Functional rehabilitation: It is mainly necessary to strengthen exercise and not to be bedridden just because of major surgery. It is recommended to start small-motor exercise as soon as physical strength allows. Diet: Because patients often suffer from decreased digestive function and loss of appetite after lung cancer surgery, we would recommend patients to seek treatment in Chinese medicine and acupuncture, which may be beneficial for the improvement of these symptoms. Psychological support: It is an aspect that is often easily neglected after surgery. Family members are so busy around the patient that they neglect the patient’s own psychological feelings. They either keep the patient in the dark and do not tell them the truth, or they are overly concerned about the patient, which also tends to make the patient feel anxious about the “terminal illness”. In fact, each patient should be given different care according to his or her own psychological quality. Some people need to talk to them frequently to guide them back to normal life as soon as possible, while others need to tell them clearly about their illness, on the one hand, patients may need to adjust their work and life situation, and on the other hand, they may have some wishes to fulfill. Sometimes patients may have nameless worries and anxieties due to the chats of their surrounding patients, which require consulting professional psychologists and timely guidance. Postoperative rehabilitation of lung cancer is a very important part of treatment. Rapid recovery can free patients from the attack of the disease, and also allow them to reserve sufficient energy for the next treatment, such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Therefore, it requires the cooperation of medical staff, patients and their family members in order to let more patients recover soon.
