What are the symptoms after prostate cancer surgery? Care after prostate cancer surgery

Many people in life suffer from malignant tumors, which pose a serious threat to themselves and their families. Prostate cancer is relatively common in clinical practice. After the tumor is discovered, it needs to be removed surgically in time. However, it is not all right after the operation. We must pay attention to some complications after the operation. What are the complications after prostate cancer surgery? For more information about this issue, please see the introduction of the article below!

Prostate cancer patients have the following complications after surgery:

1. Bleeding: Bleeding may occur after surgery due to the falling off of surgical ligation sutures, infection, excessive force, etc.

2. Urinary fistula: Some patients have poor drainage through the catheter or poor nutritional conditions. You can reinsert the catheter to keep the urethra open, or use a rubber strip for drainage at the wound. If the urinary fistula still exists after a week, you can also scrape the urinary fistula. If it does not heal for a long time, you can perform a secondary wound expansion and suture.

3. Acute epididymitis: Acute epididymitis may occur a few days or weeks after prostate cancer surgery. Bilateral vasectomy can be performed during the surgery to reduce the occurrence of epididymitis.

4. Pubic osteomyelitis: The cause may be related to periosteum damage. If there is an infection in the space behind the pubic bone, the patient's pubic symphysis will have redness, swelling and pain. Local physical therapy can be performed and effective antibiotics can be selected for treatment.

5. Impotence: According to relevant information, the probability of prostate cancer patients suffering from impotence after surgery is very high. The reason is that during the operation, the tissues within the prostate may be damaged, and the nerves and muscles may also be damaged, causing impotence.

The complications after prostate cancer surgery have been introduced. If patients want to recover as soon as possible, in addition to paying attention to some postoperative complications, they should also pay attention to daily care. The diet should be reasonably matched to enhance nutrition, eat more fish and shrimp, and also with fresh vegetables and fruits.
