How to stop bleeding after radical surgery for bladder cancer?

1. If patients may experience some bleeding after bladder cancer surgery, generally speaking, the bleeding of these patients will stop completely within 24 to 48 hours. However, there are a few patients whose bleeding may not be stopped because some surgical sutures are not tight, or other trauma sites are not checked during the surgery, the patients have some infections, or the sutures collapse after the surgery. In this case, the bleeding cannot be stopped because these patients need bandaging and treatment.

2. After bladder cancer surgery, there is generally no bleeding. If there is bleeding, you must inform the doctor in time. Different surgical methods are used to treat postoperative bleeding. The treatment plan is also based on the patient's bleeding situation and amount of bleeding. If there is a lot of bleeding, most of them still need another surgery to coagulate or ligate the bleeding point after it is found.

How long does it take to be discharged from the hospital after radical cystectomy?

If the recovery from cystectomy is good, you can generally be discharged from the hospital in about a week. However, after discharge, you should also pay attention to maintaining good work and rest rules and a light diet. However, the specific discharge time depends on the patient. Because everyone's physical condition is different, there is no accurate standard. It is recommended to follow the doctor's advice and recover after discharge.

If it is a cystectomy, the discharge time is uncertain because the operation will cause great interference to the abdominal organs and the body will have several drainage tubes, which can be discharged after all are removed. Surgery needs to be performed as soon as possible.
