How to prevent bladder cancer recurrence

Bladder cancer is a disease that people are familiar with. If you suffer from bladder cancer, you must pay attention to timely treatment. There are also many things to pay attention to when you suffer from bladder cancer. In life, people must understand the prevention of bladder cancer and pay attention to preventing postoperative recurrence.

How to prevent bladder cancer recurrence?

First, increase the amount of water you drink. The concentration of urine in the bladder directly affects the occurrence of bladder cancer, because the amount of water you drink has a significant impact on the occurrence of bladder cancer. Drinking water is less, and the urine must be reduced by the excretion of carcinogens from the kidneys to the bladder, and the concentration in the urine also increases accordingly. These high concentrations of carcinogens cause strong irritation to the bladder mucosa. Drinking less water will inevitably extend the interval between urination, creating favorable conditions for the reproduction of bacteria (such as E. coli) in the bladder, and bladder cancer often occurs. Most people usually don't like boiled water, but drink tea.

Secondly, we should adhere to scientific eating habits and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. Fresh vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins and trace elements can decompose the carcinogen-nitrosamine in the body.

Third, quit smoking as soon as possible. Research results show that cigarettes contain toxic carcinogens such as nicotine, tar, and tobacco-specific substituent amines. A large amount of smoking will result in higher concentrations of carcinogens in the urine. If the daily smoking index reaches 600 (number of cigarettes smoked per day × number of years of smoking), the risk of bladder cancer will reach the danger point.

Fourth, although surgery and radiotherapy and chemotherapy can effectively control the continued development of bladder cancer, they do not change the living environment of cancer cells, and the residual cancer cells in the body may recur and metastasize. Therefore, Chinese medicine treatment is required after surgery or during radiotherapy and chemotherapy. On the one hand, it can effectively kill the residual cancer cells in the body and comprehensively inhibit the recurrence and metastasis of tumor cells. On the other hand, it can also effectively improve the body's autonomous anti-tumor immune ability, enhance the patient's physical fitness, control the patient's condition, relieve the patient's discomfort symptoms, improve the patient's quality of life, and prolong survival.

How to prevent the recurrence of bladder cancer? Hopefully, the above-mentioned knowledge will be helpful to patients. Experts remind that bladder cancer is very harmful to health, but as long as active and reasonable treatment is given, the progression of the disease can be effectively controlled. For bladder cancer, if it can be treated reasonably in the early stage, the cure rate can be greatly improved. Therefore, once you feel unwell, you should go to the hospital for examination in time to ensure your health.
