Bladder cancer patients should actively take care of themselves after surgery

What are the postoperative care methods for bladder cancer? Bladder cancer is a common type of malignant tumor. If bladder cancer patients do not receive more care after treatment, they may relapse. Therefore, it is very important for patients to understand the postoperative care of bladder cancer. Let's ask the experts to give us a detailed introduction to the postoperative care of bladder cancer.

Postoperative care for bladder cancer mainly includes the following points:

1. Patients can eat 6 hours after transurethral resection of bladder tumor. The diet should be nutritious and high in crude fiber. Spicy and irritating foods should be avoided to prevent constipation.

2. Routine flushing should be performed for 1 to 3 days after surgery. The color of the bladder flushing drainage fluid should be closely observed. The flushing speed should be adjusted in time according to the changes in the color of the drainage fluid to prevent blood clots from blocking the catheter.

3. Gastrointestinal decompression should be continued after surgery, and the nature, color, and volume of gastric juice should be closely observed and recorded. After gastrointestinal function is restored, the gastric tube should be removed and feeding should be started, starting with rice soup with sugar, gradually transitioning to liquid food, semi-liquid food, and finally normal food. Closely observe whether the patient has symptoms of nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal distension, abdominal pain, and intestinal obstruction after eating.

4. The blood flow of the urinary stoma should be closely observed to detect stoma complications in a timely manner. Keep the wound and stoma dressings clean and dry.

5. Prevention of infection: Measure body temperature and changes in white blood cells regularly to observe whether infection occurs. Keep the skin around the stoma clean and dry, turn over, tap the back, and cough up sputum regularly. If the sputum is thick, use atomization inhalation. Appropriate activities and other measures can prevent infection.

6. Observe vital signs: After radical bladder cancer resection, due to the large surgical wound, there may be a lot of bleeding. Therefore, vital signs should be closely observed to ensure smooth blood transfusion and infusion. Symptoms and signs of shock should be discovered early, and treatment and care should be provided in a timely manner.
