Question
A 29-year-old male is feeling unwell, lacks vitality, and has no appetite. He asks: What methods can be used for advanced prostate cancer patients who don’t want to eat?
Answer
Decreased appetite may be caused by the impact of prostate cancer on the digestive tract.. For example, using herbs that invigorate the spleen and open the stomach for treatment, providing patients with easily digestible and nutritious foods such as rice soup, congee, milk, juice, and lotus starch. Moderate abdominal massage can help promote gastrointestinal motility and improve absorption. Maintain a cheerful mood, avoid psychological stress, and ensure adequate rest. A light diet, avoiding greasy and spicy foods, is beneficial to both the patient and their body.
