Does smoking and drinking have an impact on prostate cancer?

When caring for prostate cancer patients, the first thing to pay attention to is diet. Patients should eat mainly plants. Smoking, drinking, and junk food are strictly prohibited. Strictly control fat intake, which should not exceed one-fifth of total calories. Patients can eat more fish, because fish has fatty acids that are good for the body. Eat some vegetables and fruits every day, and strictly control the intake of sugar and salt.

Urinary incontinence may occur after prostate cancer surgery. This is because the sphincter in the urethra is damaged. Urinary incontinence can last for a period of time or for a lifetime. Since patients cannot control their urination, their normal life is affected in many ways. If urinary incontinence occurs for a long time, it is easy to cause urinary system infection. Therefore, patients should be given sufficient comfort and be mentally prepared. In order to better treat the disease, patients should also pay close attention to their physical condition after surgery, avoid pessimism, and have confidence in the treatment.
If the patient finds that his urine stream becomes thinner or he has difficulty urinating after the operation, it may be that the urethral anastomotic stenosis has occurred. At this time, urethral dilation is necessary. Before this, the patient needs to be explained the surgical method and possible complications. In addition, the cleanliness of the urethral opening must be ensured.
