In fact, this fatigue is called cancer fatigue. There are several reasons for this. One possibility is that cancer patients are physically weak, coupled with the consumption of tumors and the problem of eating, the patients are even weaker, and there are toxic and side effects brought by tumor treatment, psychological stress and so on. Improving cancer fatigue is the key link to improve patients' quality of life. Cancer fatigue mainly occurs in these three stages. How to improve cancer fatigue? Next, let's talk together.
1. After surgical treatment
Patients with malignant tumor are prone to symptoms such as loss of appetite, fatigue, fatigue and emaciation after operation, and may be accompanied by anemia. The main reason is that the trauma caused by surgery consumes the patient's qi and blood, leading to weakness of the spleen and stomach, leading to insufficient subtle biochemistry of Shui Gu, and the organs of the whole body are not nourished, resulting in fatigue. The syndrome differentiation of this kind of cancer fatigue patients is deficiency of both qi and blood. The solution should focus on regulating spleen and stomach qi and blood to supplement.
2. After radiotherapy and chemotherapy
After radiotherapy, it is often manifested as fatigue, low fever, dry mouth and bitter taste, insomnia and other symptoms. At this time, the treatment of deficiency of both qi and yin and the connotation of blood stasis and toxin is mainly based on nourishing yin and promoting fluid production, removing blood stasis and detoxifying; Cancer patients are weak after chemotherapy, because chemotherapy damages the spleen and stomach, which makes the spleen and stomach unable to transport and transform, and damages the kidney. It can be differentiated as deficiency of both spleen and kidney, and the treatment is mainly to strengthen spleen and tonify kidney.
At the same time, radiotherapy and chemotherapy can soothe the liver and relieve depression. By improving the internal environment of patients, improving the body's own immunity, reducing toxicity and increasing efficiency, reducing the toxic and side effects caused by treatment, the symptoms of cancer-related fatigue are obviously alleviated.
3. Advanced cancer
Clinically, some patients with advanced malignant tumors have lost the indications of surgery and radiotherapy and chemotherapy, usually elderly patients, which are more likely to cause cancer pain, pleural effusion and cachexia, and the prognosis is poor.
This kind of patients are deficient in both spleen and kidney, and their constitution is weak, so they can't be actively treated. They should nourish the spleen and kidney, balance yin and yang, soothe and nourish the liver. Nourishing spleen and kidney can help healthy qi to reduce cachexia and complications; Adjust yin and yang, make up its deficiency, purge its surplus, make yin and yang Yang Can harmonious, and make the whole body physiological function work normally; Soothes the liver and nourishes the liver, promotes the circulation of qi smoothly, has a pleasant mood and has a good sleep.
By regulating and assisting the healthy qi of patients, the fatigue symptoms of patients with advanced malignant tumors can be obviously improved, the incidence and degree of cancer fatigue can be greatly reduced, the survival time of patients can be prolonged, and the quality of their survival with tumors can be improved.
