What happens after a prostate removal?

Prostate disease troubles many male friends, and many patients have to endure the torture of this disease for many years. Some patients even choose to have their prostate removed because they cannot bear the trouble of the disease. However, prostate removal is a very wrong practice.

Every organ in the body plays an important role. If you remove it at random, it will definitely have some impact on the body. The prostate is one of the important organs in the male reproductive system and affects human reproduction. Without the prostate, male friends' reproductive function will be affected.

The prostate can mature under the nourishment of sex hormones. If it loses the nourishment of androgens, the prostate will never grow. The prostate participates in human reproduction. Its main function is to provide prostatic fluid, which is sperm nutrient and can enhance sperm motility. It protects sperm to complete reproduction. After prostate fluid removal, sperm transportation will be hindered, sperm motility will be reduced, and infertility will be caused. The above is an introduction to the consequences of prostate removal, and we also understand the importance of the prostate to men. Male friends must pay special attention to prostate health and deal with prostate problems in a timely manner.

What are the risks of prostatectomy?

(1) The reasons for the patient's difficulty urinating or even urinary retention after surgery are: first, the hyperplastic glands were not completely removed during surgery, and the solution is to perform another electrosurgical resection; second, the patient already has a neurological defect that makes urination difficult. Appropriate examinations and treatment should be given, and the two reasons should be explained clearly to the patient.

(2) Abnormal urination: Microscopic hematuria and pyuria may persist for several months after surgery. There are two reasons for this: one is the gradual shedding of necrotic tissue during wound healing, and the other is possible kidney disease. Therefore, detailed examinations should be performed to clarify the cause and provide treatment.

(3) Epididymitis Due to the use of preventive antibiotics before and after surgery, the postoperative incidence of epididymitis has been greatly reduced, but it still occurs in a few cases. If swelling and pain in the scrotum occur after surgery, you should seek medical attention promptly.

(4) Urinary incontinence may be related to surgery, or it may be caused by inflammation, tumors, stones or neurological factors. Therefore, appropriate examinations should be done to find out the cause.

(5) In case of urethral stenosis, the stricture should be carefully identified and the urethra should be dilated or re-electroscopically treated.
