Emergency measures for sudden onset of bladder cancer

For patients with sudden onset of bladder cancer, effective first aid measures can alleviate the patient's pain and buy more time for treatment. The following are some first aid measures after the onset of emergency symptoms of bladder cancer. I hope that patients can remember them and respond decisively when encountering emergencies.

1. After surgical removal of the tumor, bladder cancer patients often experience burning pain when urinating. Local hot compresses or sitz baths can be given.

2. If you find flocculent mucus in the urine, you can drink more water and take baking soda tablets orally to alkalize the urine and thin the mucus to facilitate urination. If bladder cancer patients have a lot of hematuria and have difficulty urinating, they need to go to the hospital for emergency treatment. They can choose to place a urinary catheter, continuously flush the bladder, and use hemostatic drugs.

3. If the patient has an increased heart rate, accelerated pulse, decreased blood pressure, dizziness, or sweating, immediate surgery is required to stop the bleeding. The blood clot should be flushed out through a cystoscope, and the bleeding site in the bladder should be stopped under the cystoscope.

4. Patients sometimes suffer from upper urinary tract obstruction due to bladder blood clots. When post-renal anuria causes acute renal failure, dialysis treatment and renal puncture and fistula are needed to relieve the obstruction according to the situation.

5. Bladder contusion may cause dull pain and discomfort in the lower abdomen and mild hematuria or frequent urination, which can generally heal on its own in a short period of time. In severe cases, urethral catheterization can be used to drain urine, and antibiotics can be given if necessary.
