Nursing diagnosis for prostate cancer

The occurrence of prostate cancer brings great harm to the patient's body, so patients should pay attention to early diagnosis after the disease, and then carry out effective treatment in time. It is necessary to diagnose prostate cancer early so that the disease can be better treated. Here I will talk about the nursing issues and diagnosis of prostate cancer.

Prostate cancer care issues

1. Engage in appropriate physical exercise

Appropriate physical exercise can improve blood circulation and promote the secretion of prostatic fluid, which can dilute and eliminate bacterial toxins. Especially for male drivers and office secretaries, they should not sit still for long periods of time. They should pay attention to changing body positions in time, taking proper rest, and doing appropriate activities such as walking.

2. Pay attention to the hygiene of reproductive organs

Men should clean their external genitalia regularly, and their spouses should also pay attention to the hygiene of their genitals to prevent bacteria hidden in the external genitals from entering the male urethra and invading the prostate, leading to prostate cancer. Prostate cancer care also requires less or no tight underwear to improve blood circulation in the prostate and protect the health of the prostate.

3. Reasonably adjust the diet structure

Studies have shown that excessive fat intake in daily life can promote the occurrence of prostate cancer, so prostate cancer patients should eat a light, low-fat diet, avoid spicy foods, tobacco and alcohol, and eat more cereals, nuts and vegetables. Drinking can cause congestion of the prostate and bladder neck and induce urinary retention, so prostate cancer patients should absolutely abstain from alcohol.

4. Maintain a regular life

Prostate cancer patients should pay attention to maintaining a regular life, regular sleep and rest, a fixed amount of food, and drink more water and urinate more. Frequent flushing of the urethra with urine helps discharge of prostate secretions to prevent infection. In addition, you should not hold your urine too much, because holding your urine will increase the tension of the prostate capsule, which will lead to prostate cancer in the long run.

Prostate cancer diagnosis

First of all, the most direct way to check for prostate cancer is to do a rectal examination. Rectal examination is the main method for diagnosing early prostate cancer. Generally, because the prostate is in front of the rectum, the size and texture of the prostate can be felt through a rectal examination. This can more effectively detect the patient's condition.

Another examination is transrectal ultrasound examination, through which doctors can check whether there are nodules in the patient's prostate. Doctors can determine whether the patient has prostate cancer by whether there are nodules in the patient's body, which is very helpful for early detection and treatment of prostate cancer.

The last test is the serum prostate specific antigen test. This test is to check the patient's prostate specific antigen. Generally, when checking the patient, the patient's blood will be drawn to check the relevant values. It can effectively diagnose the patient's disease, which provides more time and opportunity to save the patient's life.
