It is quite
natural to be overwhelmed and exhilarated when your symptoms are eliminated
just after a surgery. You feel relieved of the pain, and your distress seems to
have vanished all of a sudden. Anaesthesia can help shield you from
experiencing the pain post operation for some time. However, the pain
management programmes are working on easing out the experience further.
Post Care related to intake of medicine:
Organ rejection being the constant
threat, the uptake of immunosuppressant drugs is prescribed to be taken
continuously. Also other medications supressing the side effects of the former
should be taken simultaneously. Go for regular wellness check-ups, monitor
bodily changes - pulse rate, blood pressure changes and visit your transplant
team evenly for decreased risk of organ rejection. Be alert and know the
symptoms of the former in details.
Lifestyle changes:
Increasing your healthy habits and a positive change in your lifestyle
can effectively reduce the risk of organ rejection. Maintaining a nutritious
diet, with proper exercise and stress management can help you get over the ill
effects of smoking or alcohol consumption earlier. Consult a transplant
dietician to regulate your healthy habits of consuming high-fibre foods - raw
fruits and vegetables. An increased intake of calcium rich dairy products, less
sodium and snacks should be maintained. Remember to drink plenty of water (if
not asked to sustain fluid intake) and focus on protein rich foods.
Exercise:
Try
starting with low impact exercise and gradually increase it in small steps to
reach the stage of practicing aerobic exercises like bicycling, swimming,
jogging, etc. Resistance exercise with optimum weights prescribed by
professionals can increase your strength and prevent bone decay. Stretching can
also serve to tone muscles and increase flexibility.
Since every
organ implantation is unique, the ways to deal with its effects later and the
post care should be unique too, and it must vary from person to person.
