Baking electricity is a kind of physical therapy in modern medicine, which can not be replaced by electric heating.
1, baking electricity using high-frequency electric current to make the role of internal heat to achieve the purpose of treatment, also known as radiotherapy.
2, radiotherapy is more often called baking electricity. As opposed to infusion, baking electricity a course of treatment down, quite exhausting. Because of the infusion, there is a treatment cycle, after the drug is gradually discharged from the body, people will feel slowly recovered. The electric power, because it is often a course of continuous down, the therapeutic effect and side effects are a process of accumulation, so, it will feel uncomfortable, feel physically exhausted.
3, baking electricity treatment method is widely adopted in medical treatment, especially for the back pain for a long time, joint pain and inflammation, postoperative wound recovery have a very good therapeutic effect, baking electricity in general on the human body is no side effects, but it is recommended that patients suffering from cancer are not recommended to bake the electricity, or to take the conservative treatment method is better, is not easy to the spread of cancer cells too fast.
4, in fact, the baking treatment is considered to be a medical side effects of a relatively small number of treatment methods, but many people do not hold the baking treatment side effects of a small amount of time on the baking, which is not right. Prolonged baking electricity may cause your skin burns, if it is facing the baking electricity, may also cause some eye irritation. Therefore, baking treatment must follow the doctor's instructions, not to change at will.

Contraindications:
Absolute for radiation therapy contraindications are rare, especially for low palliative treatments, such as pain relief for localized metastases is mostly effective. But it also depends on the conditions of patients and units to decide, generally speaking, advanced tumor patients in malignant condition can be made as absolute contraindication to radiation. In addition, perforation of esophageal cancer and lung cancer combined with large amount of luminal effusion should also be listed as absolute contraindication.
Any tumors that are not sensitive to radiation should be relative contraindications, such as cutaneous melanoma, gastric cancer, small intestinal cancer, soft tissue sarcoma, osteochondrosarcoma and so on. Generally the surgical treatment is supplemented with postoperative radiotherapy.
Acute inflammation and heart failure should be controlled before radiotherapy.
Radiotherapy is not suitable when lung cancer requires large area irradiation and lung function is seriously incomplete.
The efficacy of radiotherapy depends on the radiation sensitivity, and different tissues and organs as well as various tumor tissues have different degrees of response to changes after irradiation. Radiation sensitivity is related to the proliferation cycle of tumor cells and pathological grading, i.e., proliferating cells are more sensitive than non-proliferating cells, and the higher the degree of cell differentiation, the lower the radiation sensitivity, and the higher the opposite.
In addition, the oxygen content of tumor cells directly affects the radiosensitivity, for example, early tumor volume is small, good blood transport, less oxygen-depleted cells when the therapeutic effect is good, late tumor volume is large, poor intra-tumoral blood transport, and even the center of the necrosis, then the radiosensitivity is low; squamous carcinoma growing locally is better than tumors in the buttocks and limbs, with good blood transport and high sensitivity; the tumor locally combined with infections, with poor blood transport (oxygen-depleted cells), the radiosensitivity decreases. Therefore, it is important to keep the irradiation site clean and prevent radiation from occurring. Therefore, keeping the irradiation site clean and preventing infection and necrosis are important conditions for improving the sensitivity of radiotherapy.
