Is it normal to have lower abdominal pain after prostate cancer surgery?

After prostate cancer surgery, initial lower abdominal distension and pain is normal. Long-term lower abdominal distension and pain is abnormal and may be related to factors such as frequent exercise, cystitis, seminal vesiculitis, and kidney stones. After diagnosis, you need to follow the doctor's advice and receive reasonable treatment.

1. Normal: Prostate cancer is a malignant disease and requires surgical treatment after diagnosis. The operation will cause damage to the prostate tissue. Symptoms of lower abdominal distension and pain may appear in the early postoperative period. The symptoms of lower abdominal distension and pain will gradually alleviate. This is a normal phenomenon and does not require special treatment.

2. Frequent exercise: If the symptoms of lower abdominal distension and pain persist for a long time after surgery, it is abnormal and may be related to frequent exercise, because frequent exercise can stimulate the damaged prostate tissue and make the symptoms of lower abdominal distension and pain persist. You should rest properly. If the pain is severe, you can take oral ibuprofen sustained-release capsules, celecoxib capsules, meloxicam tablets and other drugs as prescribed by the doctor to improve it.

3. Cystitis: Difficult urination after surgery and long-term urine retention can cause cystitis, which can lead to lower abdominal distension and pain, accompanied by symptoms such as frequent urination and urgency. After diagnosis, you can follow the doctor's advice to use drugs such as ciprofloxacin hydrochloride tablets, azithromycin dispersible tablets, and cefixime tablets for treatment

4. Seminal vesiculitis: Improper care during the postoperative recovery period may cause infection, which may cause lower abdominal distension and pain, accompanied by symptoms such as fatigue and fever. After diagnosis, you can follow the doctor's advice to use antibacterial drugs for treatment, such as amoxicillin capsules, levofloxacin hydrochloride capsules, azithromycin dispersible tablets, etc.

5. Kidney stones: After the operation, if you drink less water and do not exercise properly, kidney stones may form, which may cause symptoms such as lower abdominal distension and pain, and pain in the waist and abdomen. In severe cases, you need to consider laser lithotripsy, ultrasonic lithotripsy, percutaneous nephrolithotomy and other treatments.

In addition to the above factors, it may also be related to the recurrence or metastasis of prostate cancer. Patients are advised to seek medical examination and treatment in time to avoid adverse effects.
