What should we pay attention to after surgery for advanced prostate cancer

Prostate cancer is a relatively rare malignant tumor disease, mostly occurring in men over 50 years old, especially those with a family history of the disease. Once the disease occurs, it will rapidly deteriorate. If the patient's disease has become advanced, surgery should be performed in time, and postoperative care should be done well, which will be more beneficial to the patient's health. So what should be paid attention to after surgery for advanced prostate cancer?

1. After the operation, the patient's physical condition should be closely observed, because patients with advanced prostate cancer are prone to complications such as bleeding and infection after radical surgery. Therefore, it is necessary to closely monitor the patient's vital signs after the operation, and pay attention to maintaining the patency and cleanliness of the urethra. Once an abnormality is found, the doctor should be consulted in time to avoid other complications that may cause more serious damage. This is very effective in consolidating the therapeutic effect.

2. Since patients with advanced prostate cancer will experience pain after surgery, they should be equipped with a self-controlled analgesic device after surgery to prevent pain. One week later, you must also pay attention to preventing deep vein thrombosis in the lower limbs and move as soon as possible after surgery, which will help the patient's physical recovery.

3. Do not fast after the intestinal function returns to normal. When you can fast, it is best to eat mainly liquid food, and the food should be light and nutritious. Be sure to avoid eating spicy and irritating foods and foods that are prone to hair growth, because these foods themselves are not good for the body. If the patient eats more, it is likely that the symptoms will become more serious. Therefore, the patient should pay attention to these when eating.

After understanding the matters that need to be paid attention to after surgery for advanced prostate cancer, patients should never have any negative emotions after suffering from this disease. They should maintain an optimistic attitude and actively cooperate with the doctor for surgical treatment. They should also take good care after the treatment. Only in this way can patients have a good course of treatment after the operation and there will be hope of recovery from the disease.
