How to care after prostate cancer surgery

Prostate cancer is a relatively serious disease. When you have this disease, your health will be significantly affected. Therefore, you must start treatment as soon as possible. Now everyone chooses surgery, but you must do a good job of nursing after treatment. The following will explain to you how to care for prostate cancer after surgery.

1. After radical surgery for prostate cancer, in order to improve the long-term efficacy, endocrine therapy or chemotherapy should be used as postoperative care for radical prostate cancer surgery, which can greatly improve the patient's long-term survival rate.

2. Patients are very likely to develop sexual dysfunction and permanent urinary incontinence after surgery. Sexual dysfunction can be adjusted from both psychological and physiological aspects. Some patients may suffer from sexual dysfunction due to nerve damage during surgery, and their spouses should understand this. For permanent urinary incontinence, the patient's family should also be fully prepared and do a good job of caring for the patient's urinary incontinence caused by radical prostatectomy.

3. After radical surgery, patients should pay attention to rest, strengthen their diet, maintain an optimistic mood, quit smoking and drinking, and improve their immunity as postoperative care for radical prostate cancer. Some patients with advanced prostate cancer lose the chance of radical surgery, and clinically they often undergo bilateral orchiectomy to block androgen supply and delay tumor growth. After surgery, such patients should cooperate with radiotherapy, chemotherapy and endocrine therapy, and go to the hospital for regular follow-up to keep abreast of the progress of the tumor and whether there is metastasis to important organs.

4. Conduct medical monitoring at an early stage and dynamically observe changes in serum acid phosphatase and prostate-specific antigen. Generally speaking, after active and effective treatment, these two indicators can return to normal. Regular review of these indicators is an important means of monitoring the recurrence of prostate cancer and is very helpful in judging the patient's prognosis.

5. Postoperative care for radical prostatectomy combined with cellular immunotherapy is a positive and effective measure that can regulate the balance of the patient's internal environment, inhibit the growth of tumor cells, and achieve the purpose of delaying the progression of the disease.

The above content explains in detail the postoperative care of prostate cancer. If you suffer from prostate cancer, you must actively treat it to avoid worsening of the disease. If the disease worsens, the treatment will become more difficult. In addition, prostate cancer patients should also pay attention to postoperative care after treatment, which is very important for recovery from the disease.
