Prostate cancer patients should pay attention to genital care after surgery

Prostate cancer is a malignant tumor that occurs in the male prostate tissue. It is generally treated with surgery. However, patients should pay attention to all aspects of care after surgery, among which genital care is one of the important contents, and patients should pay special attention to it in their daily lives.

First of all, attention should be paid to the hygiene of the reproductive organs. Patients should clean their external genitalia frequently to prevent bacteria from infecting the wound, and change underwear frequently to prevent the growth of bacteria. When patients recover to a certain stage after surgery and are able to have sex, their spouses should also pay attention to the hygiene of the genitals to prevent bacteria hidden in the female vulva from entering the male urethra during sexual intercourse, invading the prostate and causing prostatitis or even recurrence of prostate cancer.

Patients should also drink more water and urinate more. Flushing the urethra with urine can help eliminate prostate secretions, which can effectively prevent the occurrence of infection. They should avoid holding urine, as holding urine will increase the tension of the prostate capsule, leading to wound pain or the occurrence of prostate diseases.

In addition, the blood flow in the reproductive organs should be kept unobstructed, and tight underwear and jeans should not be worn or worn less to improve the blood circulation of the prostate and protect the health of the prostate. In addition, appropriate exercises can be performed to improve local blood circulation and promote the secretion of prostatic fluid and increase urination.

The above are some points about genital care after prostate cancer surgery. Patients should pay attention to it. Surgery does not mean that the disease has been cured. If you do not pay attention, there is a risk of recurrence.
