The time in which we live is characterized not only by rapid technological progress, but also by the appearance of ever new deadly ailments. Diseases affect almost all internal organs and systems of a person. The terrible threat hanging over people was cancer. This cancer of an oncological nature has affected millions of people around the world. Literally 10-15 years ago, cancer was considered an incurable disease, the outcome of which in most cases was fatal. However, medicine does not stand still, and scientists have come up with an effective method with which you can completely eliminate a malignant tumor without surgery. As you might imagine, this is chemotherapy.
What is this procedure? Why are patients who have to undergo chemotherapy are interested in the consequences of treatment? The fact is that the procedure is based on exposure to tumor cells with special toxic substances that completely destroy the formation that negatively affects the human body. That is, on the infectious agent, which acts as the causative agent of the disease, the whole power of toxins falls. Unfortunately, during chemotherapy, a negative effect is observed not only on the malignant formation, but also on the body itself. The poison that is used during treatment is usually called a chemotherapy drug. This is why many people have the adverse effects of chemotherapy. Let's talk in more detail about the types of procedure, side effects and the rehabilitation period.
So, depending on the type of pathogen, it is customary to distinguish the following types of chemotherapy: antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, antiparasitic (in the case of helminth infestation) and antitumor. Why is this procedure considered the most effective cancer treatment? Everything is very simple. During chemotherapy, drugs are injected directly into the bloodstream. Thus, their circulation is observed throughout the body.
There are situations when the doctor could not surgically remove all the cancer cells. The same radiation therapy is considered the local method. That is, it affects a certain area. It often happens that some cancer cells separate from the tumor and travel throughout the body. In such cases, chemotherapy simply cannot be dispensed with. Unfortunately, the drugs used during the procedure are extremely toxic and adversely affect human health. The adverse effects of chemotherapy are a reality.
The main side effect of this procedure, which is striking, is the so-called alopecia. In simple words, baldness. Almost all patients in this case experience depression, frustration and other emotional disorders. That's not all. Chemotherapy complications can occur in both early and late stages. Some side effects are life threatening. Here are the most common and formidable effects of chemotherapy: myelosuppression (blood and bone marrow damage), problems with the gastrointestinal tract (nausea, vomiting), nephrotoxicity (kidney complications), cardiotoxicity and infertility.
In order to improve the patient's condition, rehabilitation after chemotherapy comes to the rescue. The basis of the procedure is the use of a large number of lactic acid bacteria, which stabilize the intestines. For this purpose, bifidophilus or floradophilus is attributed. These drugs not only restore the work of the stomach, but also prevent hair loss on the head. After a course of treatment, patients are prescribed Laver 48. It helps to increase hemoglobin in the blood and has a beneficial effect on the liver.
From the above it follows that the effects of chemotherapy adversely affect the human body. However, it should be remembered that in most cases all side effects disappear over time, and a person gets rid of a fatal illness forever and gets a second chance for a happy life.
