Precautions after prostatectomy

What are the precautions after prostatectomy? Prostate disease is a very common disease, which is very destructive to the body. With the changes in the macro environment, the number of patients with prostate disease is increasing. Under the current situation in our country, the most popular treatment for prostatectomy is prostatectomy. Although surgery has a good effect on the disease, postoperative care is also very important. Let's talk about what precautions should be taken after surgery.

1. After the transurethral prostatectomy, the patient is sent back to the ward and given an infusion on the same day. The patient can eat liquid food on the second day after the operation, and the drainage urine will turn clear. Generally, the catheter can be removed after 24 to 72 hours. In the future, except for some people who cannot urinate, have weak urination, have excessive residual urine, or have bleeding, there is generally no need to insert a catheter again. If the operation is successful, the patient can be discharged from the hospital 4 to 5 days after the operation.

2. Within the first month after discharge, patients should be careful in their daily life, avoid lifting heavy objects, drinking alcohol, having sex, and preventing constipation. Since there is a possibility of delayed bleeding and infection after the operation, patients should always pay attention to whether there are any abnormal conditions such as blood in urine, urgency, pain, nocturia, the thickness of the urine stream, whether there are small pieces of gray-white tissue in the urine, etc. If the above conditions occur, they should return to the surgery hospital for follow-up at any time.

The above are the things you need to pay attention to after prostatectomy. I hope that the knowledge we introduced can help you. After the operation, you can drink more clear soup and mainly eat liquid food. This is very beneficial to the disease and can also help patients excrete urine. You must also pay attention to your sexual life after the operation. You must do it according to the doctor's examination and advice. This is very helpful to the body.
