Release date：2022-09-27

As the old saying goes, "life lies in exercise." There are a lot of data proving that regular exercise can prolong life and reduce the incidence of disease. For breast patients, exercise can even effectively prevent recurrence and metastasis, improve the survival rate and prolong the survival period.

WCRF/AICR guidelines, NCCN guidelines, ASCO guidelines, ACS guidelines, ESPEN guidelines, ACSM guidelines and other authoritative cancer guidelines in the world point out that "it is recommended that tumor patients without obvious motor function limitation should exercise."

However, in the hot, humid and hot summer, the sisters' enthusiasm for sports was intimidated by the high sun, and they all said, "Let's wait until the weather is cool!"

Today, I would like to recommend a cool and effective comfortable exercise swimming!

Swimming is a popular sport for all people, and is considered to be one of the most comfortable and least harmful methods for physical rehabilitation.

In the hot summer, if you can swim freely in the water for a while and soak, it may be the best enjoyment.

Swimming not only relieves heat but also benefits our health. Swimming has many benefits for health, mainly including: improving cardiovascular system, increasing vital capacity, improving the function of respiratory system, improving the ability of muscle system, strengthening skin blood circulation, enhancing resistance, and losing weight.

Since swimming has so many advantages, can you go swimming after breast surgery?

The sports recommended in the lifestyle guide for breast cancer patients in China that are suitable for patients after breast surgery include swimming.

For patients after breast surgery, swimming can not only strengthen the muscles of the chest and abdomen, make it more coordinated, but also improve the cardiopulmonary function. At the same time, swimming needs the help of buoyancy and resistance of water, so it will be easier and more gentle to exercise.
Generally, if radiotherapy and chemotherapy are not required after breast surgery, you can start swimming after the incision is fully healed and your body condition is adjusted. But when and how to swim vary from person to person.

Key points:

First of all, swimming is not recommended for breast patients during chemotherapy or radiotherapy. Because swimming will increase the burden of the heart and lungs during this period, which will have a lot of adverse effects on the treatment and rehabilitation of patients. It is usually recommended that the patient consider swimming after all treatment is completed.

Secondly, after wound healing, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and other treatments are completed, it is not recommended to immediately carry out high-intensity exercise on your own, and try to carry out it under the guidance of a doctor. If necessary, the rehabilitation sports instructor shall make some examinations, such as cardiopulmonary function examination, exercise load test, physical strength measurement, limb function, etc.

If you plan to start exercising, be sure to consult your doctor in advance.

It is recommended to wear special artificial milk for swimming, such as Sharon's crystal artificial milk CL and sports and leisure artificial milk BL. These are all artificial milk specially designed for swimming and other sports. When used in swimming, they can quickly adapt to the swimming pool environment, do not float when entering the water, and quickly dehydrate when leaving the water.
