Problem description: My mother had lymphatic dissection for breast cancer ** seven years ago, and her hand on the affected side began to swell 2 years after the operation, and her cracked pants were inflamed from time to time. After seeking medical treatment, it is considered that the lymphatic return is blocked and the lymphatic vessels are inflamed, and insist on taking blood-activating, anticoagulation, dehydration drugs, and the addition of Mai Ling. But it didn't work out too well.

Now, my hands are still swollen and inflamed every 1 month. Intravenous antibiotics, dehydration drugs, etc. are required to be effective.

Excuse me, is there any other good way to relieve this swollen hand?

Is there an elastic stocking for varicose veins or something, can it be used in this case?

Thank you. Analysis:

Doing UBIO (ultraviolet irradiation oxygenation self-blood reinfusion**), no drugs, the effect is ideal, not only significantly reduce the toxicity and adverse reactions of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, but also improve the effect, and comprehensively improve the health level of the body and enhance the function of the body's immune system. If the local hospital has carried out UBIO**, accept ** as soon as possible, without hospitalization, and the cost is economical. Regularly do ubio health care** (after one or two courses of treatment, every two months), can be more ideal for poor source mountain health care and prolongation of life with illness (the long-term effect is particularly significant)!

For postoperative edema in breast cancer patients, swelling reduction is generally adopted, and the main methods are as follows:

1. Elevation of the affected limb: Edema of breast cancer is generally caused by edema of the affected limb after breast surgery, and the edema of the affected limb is mainly caused by lymphatic drainage disorder, because after lymph node dissection, lymphatic reflux disorder leads to frequent edema of the affected limb.

2. Avoid weight-bearing: try not to use weight-bearing on the affected limb, which can cause reflux disorder and edema of the affected limb in the case of weight-bearing.

3. Drug**: In the case of particularly severe edema, the use of dehydrating hydrouretics can be taken to alleviate the symptoms of edema.

Most breast cancer patients are treated with postoperative edema.

My mother's hand was swollen 3 months after the operation, and the doctor said that it was caused by lymphatic removal, but the recovery was slow, so don't worry, you can also consult your doctor.

Hello: In this case, it is a very common complication of breast cancer surgery, and the edema of the upper limbs caused by lymphatic blockage takes a long time to recover, and there is no good way to deal with it for the time being. It is recommended to observe for a while.

Twist well. This is a complication after surgery, and it is considered that the lymph cannot return normally due to surgery, and in this case, in addition to strengthening arm exercises, massage can be used to reduce symptoms. It is best to learn (Bai Yongli.

Upper limb edema after breast cancer surgery is a common phenomenon in patients, and edema can cause upper limb dysfunction such as shoulder joint mobility limitation, limb weakness, numbness, pain and other paresthesias, which seriously affects the daily life of the majority of patients. In order to effectively prevent and treat breast cancer and upper limb edema after surgery, the following aspects should be noted.

1. You should still move your arms often, and you can also do some housework or appropriate work. Try to position your arms above your heart, such as using a few pillows to raise your arms, but be careful to support your entire arm and not your lower arm alone. If you need to carry the bag on your shoulder, you should wear it on the shoulder that has not undergone surgery.

Women who experience shoulder pain should avoid carrying a shoulder bag. Usually put your hands in the pockets of your shirt or skirt as much as possible to relax the muscles in your shoulders and arms. The armholes of the garment should not be too tight, and the straps of the bra should not be so tight that they are inserted into the shoulders, and if necessary, the straps can be widened or padded.

2. When wearing rings, bracelets, and watches after breast cancer surgery, you should try to be as loose as possible, do not let them be embedded in **, and pay attention to avoid direct heat on your arms, such as hot baths, washing dishes with very hot water, long-term ironing, long-term sunbathing, etc.

3. Especially after breast cancer surgery, do not carry heavy objects on your hands or shoulders, and try not to do work that requires arm muscles to exert a lot of effort. When the muscles are strained, they need to supply the muscles with a lot of oxygen, which causes a large amount of blood to flow into the arm, which in turn has to carry venous blood and lymphatic fluid out of the congested arm.

As long as you stick to the right exercise and pay proper attention to the rest of the arm in the upper limb water after breast cancer surgery, 70-80% of the swollen arms can be kept as they are or tapered. A further way to prevent edema of the upper extremity after surgery is to wear an elastic bandage on the arm. Once the postoperative upper limb edema is severe, medication should be administered under the guidance of a medical professional**.

Hello. In fact, this is mostly a common complication after breast cancer surgery, and its incidence rate can reach 80%, mainly caused by the proximal lymph or venous return of the upper limb after the axillary lymph node group is cleaned during surgery.

The reason for the occurrence of arm edema after breast cancer surgery is mainly due to surgery, arm edema is actually a kind of lymphedema, which is due to the fact that some breast cancer patients have to undergo axillary dissection and remove some lymphoid tissue, so that the "pathway" of lymphatic fluid return is blocked and accumulates in the subcutaneous tissue. If radiation therapy is given to the axilla after surgery, it can also worsen the edema of the upper extremities. Arm edema after breast cancer surgery is generally divided into two conditions, one is acute edema, which occurs within 6 months after surgery, mainly due to inactivity and poor blood circulation after surgery; The other is secondary edema, which generally occurs 1-2 years after surgery, and is mostly caused by excessive straining and exertion of the arm.

In case of edema, it is advisable to elevate the affected limb and use elastic bandages to avoid overwork and prevent infection.

In the spring of 2009, my sister was diagnosed with breast cancer in pathological examination, and 4 months after surgery, she was diagnosed with extensive metastasis of the tumor, extreme emaciation, weakness of limbs, and loss of appetite. There are lumps of varying sizes on both armpits and neck. When taking 30 pairs of medicine, various lumps began to become smaller, and when taking 200 pairs of medicine, the swelling disappeared completely, and it has not been ** for more than two years now.

The prescription is as follows, I hope it will be helpful to other breast cancer patients.

Bupleurum 15 grams, Astragalus membranaceus 15 grams, Suzi 30 grams, Codonopsis 30 grams, Prunella vulgaris 30 grams, oysters 30 grams, melon 30 grams, gypsum 30 grams, tangerine peel 30 grams, white peony 30 grams, Wang Buliuxing 90 grams, Sichuan pepper 5 grams, licorice 10 grams, jujube 10 pieces, decoction one dose a day, divided into morning and evening twice, each time to take 3 grams of toad skin powder, 3 grams of beef root powder, 3 grams of Panax notoginseng powder.

This is caused by blocked lymphatic reflux. Elevate the affected limb, and do not exercise vigorously or shake the hands of the affected limb!

If you want to take Chen's special medicine, it will be effective in two days.

Recuperate at home and refrain from physical work.

Because the surgery removes all the lymph in the armpits and near the breast, the lymphatic circulation is not smooth, and edema is a major problem for most people. Be careful not to lift heavy objects, often raise your arms, and you can also boil some Chinese medicine to drink wet water, such as winter melon and barley.

The pain is not normal, it is recommended to find the attending doctor for an in-depth examination, and it is not appropriate to draw any conclusions here.

This is the edema of the upper arm caused by the obstruction of lymphatic reflux, which is difficult to recover from, to avoid the affected arm being compressed or lifting heavy objects, usually or when sleeping, the affected arm should be slightly elevated, and appropriate exercise.
