Precautions after prostate surgery

Patients with prostate diseases have many things to pay attention to after surgical treatment. Special attention should be paid to recurrent high fever caused by inflammation, and the catheter should be kept dry, unobstructed and clean. All patients need a catheter after prostate surgery, so the catheter must be kept unobstructed, the color of the urine in the catheter should be observed more, and the urine bag should be replaced in time. When replacing, be careful not to pull the catheter outward with force to avoid accidentally pulling out the catheter, especially when dressing or undressing or turning over.

Dietary precautions

1. Patients with prostate diseases are advised not to eat anything on the day after surgery and only receive intravenous drips. In the first month after discharge, they are advised not to lift heavy objects and pay special attention to their diet. Smoking and drinking are prohibited, spicy and irritating foods should be avoided, and a reasonable and nutritious diet should be taken to prevent constipation.

2. Patients should not eat spicy foods such as peppers, garlic, etc., because these foods will increase the body's dampness and heat, cause prostate congestion, affect the patient's urination, and are not conducive to the patient's postoperative recovery.

3. Raw and cold foods will affect the patient's urine circulation, so patients with prostate hyperplasia should not eat them. For example, patients with prostate hyperplasia should stay away from ice beer, ice cream, and frozen drinks.

4. Alcohol is also an important taboo for prostate hyperplasia. Alcohol will cause congestion of the patient's prostate and lead to difficulty urinating. In addition, irritants will stimulate the body, causing congestion of the already hyperplastic prostate and compressing the urethra to produce prostate symptoms such as difficult urination and urination, affecting the treatment effect of prostate hyperplasia.
