How many days does it take to recover after urethral dilation surgery?

Urethral stenosis is a common disease among men. This disease not only hinders men's normal urination, but also affects their sexual and reproductive functions. Therefore, if men have this disease, they need to use urethral dilation to treat this problem. After the operation, the patient also needs to take care of basic common problems so that the body can recover better.

1. Prevent infection. Because the whole process of surgical treatment may cause partial damage to the patient, the patient should be prevented from infection after the operation, so as to prevent inflammation of the wound and reduce the probability of postoperative symptoms. Generally, drugs are used in clinical medicine to prevent infection, so patients can release levofloxacin, quinolone drugs or cephalosporin drugs after surgery to prevent infection and symptoms.

2. Drink more water. After the operation, the patient needs to increase the amount of water he drinks every day so that more urine can flush the urethra. This is because if the urine discharged by the patient is too concentrated, the urethra will be irritated and the patient will feel more pain. In addition, more urine can also help patients reduce the chance of infection.

3. Promote blood circulation and relieve pain. If the patient has urethral bleeding after surgery, blood circulation treatment must be carried out, and the patient can be hospitalized only after the bleeding symptoms have completely subsided. In addition, most patients will have urinary pain after surgery, which will only subside after the patient has completely recovered. If the patient cannot bear the pain, he or she can take some medicine appropriately, which can effectively relieve the pain.

4. Adjust your diet. After surgery, the patient must also ensure that they do not eat any irritating foods, which will not only be detrimental to wound healing, but also prevent the body from experiencing discomfort due to improper diet.

If the patient can solve the above four common problems, then the patient's recovery speed after surgery will be faster and the probability of complication will be lower. It should be noted that although urethral dilation can effectively treat urethral stenosis, this treatment method is not suitable for all patients. If the patient has urethritis, urethral injury, urethral orifice tumor or subacute prostatitis and other symptoms, then other measures should be taken to treat urethral stenosis.

How long does it take to recover from urethral surgery?

How long it takes to recover from urethral surgery depends on the type of surgery. If it is a urethral tumor, it can usually be recovered in about a week. If it is a urethral trauma, most of the time, urethral repair surgery is performed, or a catheter is left in place to provide support, and it usually takes more than two weeks to recover. If it is urethral stenosis, according to the removal of the urethral stenosis and the urethral end is cut off, it is usually necessary to leave a catheter in place for more than two weeks, and then leave a catheter in place again for four weeks, and then perform urethral dilation again. This type of postoperative recovery is slow, and it usually takes about half a year. If it is a urethral tumor, most of the time, after urethral tumor electroresection, it can be recovered in a week.
