How to scientifically and effectively care for prostate cancer patients

Prostate cancer is a relatively common cancer that has a certain impact on the patient's life. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the cause of prostate cancer and do a good job of prevention. For patients with this disease, early treatment is even more necessary. And the care of prostate cancer is also indispensable. So here are some care methods for prostate cancer.

1. Urinary incontinence after prostate cancer surgery: Permanent or temporary urinary incontinence may occur due to damage or traction of the urethral sphincter. Prostate cancer patients cannot control urination, which seriously affects their daily quality of life. Long-term urinary incontinence is prone to secondary urinary tract and perineal skin infections. Therefore, the care of prostate cancer in this regard should make patients who have temporary urinary incontinence after the removal of the catheter fully prepared. In order 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 confidence in treatment.

2. Care for urethral anastomotic stenosis: Care for urethral anastomotic stenosis is also one of the care measures for prostate cancer. If the urine stream becomes thinner and urination becomes difficult, urethral anastomotic stenosis may be considered.

The symptoms can be relieved by urethral dilation. Before dilation, explain to prostate cancer patients the method, necessity, possible complications and pain caused by urethral dilation, and ensure the cleanliness of the urethral opening to avoid the occurrence of complications of prostate cancer.

Through the above introduction of the methods of nursing for prostate cancer, everyone should now have some understanding. If the nursing is improper, you should go to a regular hospital for help in time. No matter how good the nursing method is, it is only an auxiliary treatment. Therefore, for patients with prostate cancer, it is crucial to actively go to a regular hospital to receive treatment for prostate cancer. Finally, I wish you all good health.
