Uterine Cancer Rehabiliation

Uterine cancer is a disease in which cancerous (malignant) cells form in the lining of the uterus (endometrial cells). The cancer, like other types of cancers, has a profound and life-changing impact on many suffers and their families. It affects them in a deep way, and most women find it difficult to get back to the quality of life they enjoyed before they were diagnosed with the condition.

Uterine cancer rehabilitation is an essential component of its follow-up care. It is a comprehensive program designed to improve the physical, emotional, recreational and occupational lives of uterine cancer patients. Its primary focus is to assist a cancer patient in coping and dealing with the condition in a constructive manner.

There are many types of uterine cancer rehabilitation programs to help a patients recovery process, including:

Physical Rehabilitation: Physical rehabilitation aims to improve physical strength and mobility.

Vocational Rehabilitation: Vocational rehabilitation aims on providing vocational training for the purpose of gaining employment.

Occupational Rehabilitation: Occupational rehabilitation trains a patient in activities of daily living, including writing, reading, cooking and cleaning.

Pain Management: Pain management is an essential component of uterine cancer rehabilitation. It acquaints a patient to manage and cope with pain using several pain management techniques, with and without the use of medication.

Rehabilitation programs are individually tailored for patients based on their needs, type of cancer and other specifics. A number of trained specialists participate in the process, including rehabilitation physicians, occupational therapists, physical therapists, vocational therapists, psychologists, rehabilitation nurses, clinicians and case managers.
