Are there risks with prostate cancer surgery? Any surgery has risks

Cancer may occur in any organ or tissue of the human body, so the male prostate cannot escape the possibility of cancer. In particular, some patients who have long-term prostate diseases do not actively treat them, which eventually leads to prostate cancer. In life, many people believe that surgery is necessary to treat cancer, so patients want to know if there are risks in prostate cancer surgery?

1. Are there risks in prostate cancer surgery ? Any surgery, no matter how difficult it is, has certain risks, so prostate cancer surgery is no exception. However, according to the physiological structure of the human prostate, this surgery is the most difficult of all urological surgeries, because the prostate is located very low, it is in the deepest part of the male pelvis, surrounded by many organs and tissues, and there are also many micro-blood vessels and large blood vessels, so the risk of prostate cancer surgery is very high.

2. Precautions after prostate cancer surgery
1. Routine care: One week after surgery is a critical period for the patient's physical recovery, so at this time, we should not only pay attention to the patient's mental state, but also pay attention to the changes in the values ​​of various drainage fluids. After surgery, patients often have double drainage tubes left in their bodies, and the drainage tubes must be kept clean before they are removed.
2. After surgery, patients will have bloody secretions in their urine after defecation or coughing hard. Don't worry at this time. First confirm the cause of hematuria before treatment. It is best to drink more water to promote urination and prevent blood clots from blocking the catheter.
3. If patients using a catheter experience urine leakage around the catheter, they do not need to be overly nervous. Proper adjustment of body position can relieve the problem. Urine leakage is mainly caused by the balloon of the catheter leaving the bladder.
4. After surgery, patients should not only drink more water, but also take appropriate anti-inflammatory drugs under the guidance of a doctor to prevent urinary tract infections.

5. Patients often experience symptoms of urinary incontinence after surgery, which may be related to the long-term use of a catheter. Therefore, after surgery, they need to exercise their pelvic floor muscles to slowly restore their urination function.
