Good morning, everyone. Today we are talking about the negative effects that may be encountered in breast cancer treatment and the ways in which it is handled. Breast cancer is one of the malignant neoplasms with high rates and long lifespans, but there may be adverse effects during treatment. Don’t worry, most adverse effects can be effectively controlled through good management and drug adaptation. First of all, let’s say it’s red. The red is one of the most common adverse effects of endocrine treatment, and you may suddenly feel hot and red in the face and neck. This is due to the fact that treatment affects hormonal balance, leading to an expansion of blood vessels and increased blood flow. What do we do? You can try to wear loose clothes, avoid spicy food and hot drinks, and you can reduce and prevent by controlling weight and regular motion! If it’s serious, call a doctor! Let’s talk about breast reactions. Endocrine treatment can affect breasts, causing breast sensitivity, pain or mild swelling. And then you can use comfortable underwear to reduce breast oppression. If you feel uncomfortable, you must tell the doctor to see if the treatment needs to be adjusted. Emotional fluctuations are also common adverse effects in treatment. You may feel sad, anxious or angry. At this point, more people talk to family and friends, seek their support, or consider consulting a professional psychologist to learn effective emotional management methods. Be positive and optimistic so we can face better treatment! You may be tired and tired during the treatment. This is because the treatment consumes a certain amount of the body. Don’t worry, keeping an adequate diet, increasing nutritional intake, such as eating proteins, drinking water, moderate physical exercise, such as jogging, Tai Chi, can help to increase physical strength and energy. And, uh, endocrine treatment may affect bone density and increase the risk of bone problems. You can prevent it by increasing calcium and vitamin D intakes, such as drinking milk and eating calcium chips, and tan. At the same time, let the doctor regularly monitor bone density! If bone density decreases significantly, the doctor may recommend the use of bihydrate for preventive treatment. Speaking of eating, I would also like to remind you that endocrine treatment can cause gastrointestinal discomfort, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea. At this time, it is important that the diet be properly adjusted. You can choose fresh, digestible foods like rice congee, noodles, and avoid greasy, cold, spicy and irritating foods. If the diarrhea is severe, remember to replenish the moisture and electrolyte in time! Some patients may feel stiff joints and pain while undergoing endocrine treatment. This may be related to the adjustment of estrogen levels. You can keep your joints flexible through appropriate exercise, like walking, yoga. It’ll help to ease the discomfort.Finally, I would like to remind you in particular that endocrine drugs can lead to uterine membrane thickening and uterine cancer in serious cases. Although the incidence is very low, we cannot afford to take it lightly. During treatment, gynaecology is regularly performed and changes in uterine membranes are monitored. Don’t be lazy! In general, the treatment of breast cancer may encounter a variety of adverse effects, but do not worry that these can be controlled by scientific management and drug adaptation. Treatment must be conducted in strict compliance with the instructions of a doctor and reviewed periodically. Cooperation and support with families, doctors and health-care providers is also a key factor in helping you through your treatment. All right, that’s it for the Cope lecture today! Let’s hope we all face the cure, overcome the disease and regain our health! Come on! Breast cancer
