How to care after prostate cancer surgery? There are four major care points

Prostate cancer is a type of cancer of the reproductive system that occurs in men. Its incidence rate increases with age and can cause great harm to the patient's body. According to statistics, the incidence rate of prostate cancer in my country is significantly lower than that in European countries, which may be closely related to the living environment and eating habits of the Chinese people.

The specific cause of prostate cancer is not yet completely clear. Experts believe that this is closely related to family inheritance, so the incidence of prostate cancer will show a clustering characteristic. Other studies have shown that the ratio of sex hormones in men will also affect the incidence of prostate cancer, and the concentration of androgens and estrogens is affected by daily diet and lifestyle habits, so a healthy lifestyle is very meaningful for the prevention of prostate cancer. Patients with this disease may not have obvious symptoms in the early stages, only a slight swelling of the prostate. As the disease continues to progress, it can cause symptoms such as thinning of urine flow, urinary pain, hematuria, and may even cause acute urinary retention, causing great damage to their health.

All patients with prostate cancer need to go to the hospital for surgical treatment as soon as possible, and do the following care after the operation: ① Drink more water and urinate more often to help reduce the stimulation of urine on the bladder and the discharge of secretions, and prevent further infection; ② Pay attention to maintaining a stable mood, improve your own tolerance, and avoid emotional ups and downs due to emergencies; ③ Strengthen nutritional care, replenish the nutrition lost due to surgery, and eat more high-protein, high-vitamin foods; ④ Limit the intake of fat and red meat, eat more calcium-rich foods, and enhance personal physical fitness.

In order to reduce the incidence of prostate cancer, men should pay attention to the annual census. Once they feel unwell, they should go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination as soon as possible to detect the disease in time and control it before the disease worsens. This can not only prevent the occurrence of prostate cancer, but also effectively prevent other men's diseases.
