What are the postoperative care methods for prostate cancer? What are the postoperative precautions for prostate cancer?

If prostate cancer worsens, surgery will be chosen to solve the problem, but surgical care becomes a very important issue. If effective care is provided, the treatment effect will be better, but if there is no timely care, the impact problem is also worthy of attention.

1. Care of urinary incontinence after surgery

Postoperative urinary incontinence is caused by damage or stretching of the urethral sphincter, which can lead to permanent or temporary urinary incontinence. The patient cannot control urination, which seriously affects the quality of daily life. Long-term urinary incontinence is prone to secondary urinary tract and perineal skin infections.

Therefore, patients who experience temporary urinary incontinence after catheter removal should be fully prepared mentally. To cooperate with the continued treatment after surgery, patients who have recovered from surgery can be asked to talk about their personal experiences, overcome the tension and anxiety of patients after surgery, and build their confidence in treatment.

Instruct the patient to perform pelvic floor muscle exercises, that is, lying flat on the bed to reduce abdominal pressure, increase urethral closure pressure, and contract the anus at the same time.

2. Nursing of urethral anastomotic stenosis

If the urine stream becomes thinner and urination becomes difficult, urethral anastomotic stenosis may be considered. Urethral dilation can relieve the symptoms. Before dilation, explain to the patient the method, necessity, possible complications and pain caused by urethral dilation. At the same time, ensure the cleanliness of the urethral opening to avoid complications.

3. Nursing of erectile dysfunction after surgery

Surgery may damage the bilateral vascular nerve bundles of the penis, resulting in erectile dysfunction
