1. Definition and characteristics of cancer fatigue.
Cancer fatigue is a persistent, excessive, subjectively felt feeling of physical, emotional, or cognitive fatigue or weakness that is disproportionate to daily activities, is not effectively relieved by rest, and is inconsistent with the patient's actual activity level. This feeling of fatigue is usually not caused by overexertion, but is related to the cancer itself and the physiological and psychological changes in its process.
2. Causes of cancer fatigue.
Cancer itself: The growth of cancer cells consumes resources in the body, resulting in a lack of energy.
Chemotherapy, radiation, and other cancer** methods can cause the body to develop an inflammatory response, expend a lot of energy, and cause fatigue.
Psychological factors: Psychological stress such as anxiety and depression during cancer diagnosis and ** can also exacerbate fatigue.
Malnutrition and lack of exercise: Cancer patients may suffer from loss of appetite, digestive and absorption problems, or malnutrition, which, combined with lack of exercise, further reduces physical performance and endurance.
3. Common accompanying symptoms of cancerous fatigue.
Cognitive dysfunction: including memory loss, difficulty concentrating, sluggish thinking, etc.
Mood swings: Mood problems such as depression, anxiety, and mood instability are common in patients with cancerous fatigue.
Sleep disorders: including difficulty falling asleep, frequent awakenings during the night, early awakenings, or excessive sleep.
4. Management of cancer fatigue.
Medications**: Medications are used for causes of fatigue (e.g., anemia, malnutrition, etc.).
Psychological support: Help patients deal with the emotional stress of a cancer diagnosis and the process through counselling or participation in support groups.
Nutritional support: Provide reasonable dietary advice to ensure that patients receive adequate energy and nutrients.
Exercise**: Moderate exercise can improve a patient's physical fitness and quality of life, but it should be done under the guidance of a professional.
Improve sleep quality: Take steps to improve sleep habits, such as maintaining a regular sleep schedule and creating a good sleep environment.
Cancer fatigue is an important factor affecting the quality of life of cancer patients, and the fatigue symptoms of patients can be significantly improved through comprehensive** and personalized management. Doctors,** and other health care professionals should be proactive in recognizing the symptoms of cancer fatigue and providing support to patients to better cope with this challenge and improve their quality of life. Cancer patients and their families should also increase their awareness of cancer fatigue and actively participate in the management process to face the challenges brought by cancer. Record my 2024
