Hello
, everyone! I am Fan Huiwen from the First People’s Hospital of Yancheng. Welcome to watch my popular science. Recovery after breast cancer surgery is a process that requires patience and care, and diet and wound care are essential for the recovery of patients. Dietary Precautions Increase Protein Intake Protein is an important raw material for body repair. Postoperative women should eat more foods rich in high-quality protein, such as chicken, fish, beans, eggs, dairy products and so on. These foods help to promote wound healing, enhance the body’s immunity, and help the body recover from the trauma of surgery. For example, you can drink a glass of milk and eat an egg every day to ensure adequate protein supply. Eat more vegetables and fruits. Fresh vegetables and fruits are rich in vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber. Antioxidant vitamins such as vitamin C and vitamin E can help reduce the body’s inflammatory response and promote wound healing. Oranges, strawberries, spinach, broccoli and so on are all good choices. Dietary fiber can promote intestinal peristalsis and prevent constipation, because the activity of patients after surgery is reduced, constipation may increase abdominal pressure, which is harmful to wound healing. Control fat intake and reduce the intake of high-fat foods, especially animal fat. Excessive fat intake may lead to weight gain, and obesity is associated with the recurrence of breast cancer. Fried food and fat meat should be avoided, and low-fat cooking methods should be chosen, such as steaming, boiling and stewing. In the early stage after operation, the gastrointestinal function of patients may be affected, so we should choose digestible food, such as rice porridge, noodles and so on. With the recovery of the body, we can gradually transition to a normal diet, but we should still pay attention to avoid eating too spicy and stimulating food, so as not to cause gastrointestinal discomfort. Wound Care Precautions Keeping the wound clean and dry is the first principle of wound care. Keep the wound dry and change the wound dressing regularly as directed by the healthcare workers. If the wound oozes, oozes blood and so on, we should inform the healthcare workers in time and not deal with it by ourselves. To avoid pulling the wound, we should pay attention to rest after operation, avoid strenuous exercise and large limb movements, and prevent pulling the wound. In the process of getting up and turning over, we should be as gentle as possible to reduce the impact on the wound. At the same time, we should avoid wearing tight clothes, so as not to compress the wound. Observe the wound condition and pay close attention to whether the wound has abnormal conditions such as swelling, fever and pain aggravation. If the skin around the wound is red and swollen, it may be a sign of infection. If you have fever, take your temperature and seek medical advice. If the wound pain is unbearable, it is also necessary to inform the doctor not to endure it, so as to adjust the treatment plan in time. Rehabilitation training according to medical supervision should be carried out at the right time and according to the doctor’s advice, which is helpful to promote blood circulation and wound healing, but attention should be paid to the intensity and extent of training to avoid overwork. In a word, diet and wound care after breast cancer surgery are the key links in the rehabilitation process, and patients and their families need to take them seriously to ensure that patients can recover smoothly.
