Male urethral dilation

Urethral stenosis is a very common clinical phenomenon. Many people have varying degrees of urethral stenosis. Urethral stenosis is very harmful to the patient's health and needs to be taken seriously and actively treated. Urethral stenosis generally requires urethral dilation surgery. However, after urethral dilation surgery, you need to pay attention to many aspects in your daily life, otherwise it will be detrimental to postoperative recovery.

Precautions after male urethral dilation

In clinical practice, if a patient has urethral stenosis, then the urethra needs to be dilated to cure the disease. After the operation, the patient also needs to pay attention to prevent infection, stop bleeding, adjust diet, drink plenty of water, relieve pain and other postoperative precautions. This can not only effectively reduce physical pain, but also reduce the probability of complications and speed up physical recovery.

1. Prevent infection. Since the surgical process may cause local damage to the patient, the patient should prevent infection after the operation, so as to avoid inflammation of the affected area and reduce the probability of complications after the operation. Generally, drugs are used to prevent infection in clinical practice, so patients can release and take levofloxacin, quinolone drugs or cephalosporin drugs after the operation, so as to avoid infection and complications.

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, urinating a lot can also help patients reduce the chance of infection.

3. Stop bleeding and relieve pain. If the patient has urethral bleeding after surgery, he or she must undergo hemostatic treatment and be discharged only after the bleeding symptoms completely disappear. In addition, most patients will have symptoms of painful urination after surgery, which will disappear only after the patient has completely recovered. If the patient cannot tolerate the pain, he or she can take some ibuprofen appropriately, which can effectively relieve the pain.

4. Adjust your diet. After the operation, the patient must ensure that he does not eat any irritating food. This will help the wound heal and prevent the body from experiencing discomfort due to improper diet.

If the patient can take the above four precautions, the patient's recovery speed after surgery will be faster and the chance of complications 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 tumor or acute prostatitis, other measures need to be taken to treat urethral stenosis.
