Patient's question:
A 40-year-old man has been feeling very tired for a while and found out he was sick after a hospital check-up. Please ask: How should nursing be appropriate after benign prostatic hyperplasia surgery?Doctor's answer:
For patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia who are discharged home after surgery, what precautions should they take? Generally, we recommend the following:First, drink plenty of water to ensure a sufficient amount of urine, which helps to flush the urethra.
Second, these patients should avoid sitting for long periods. Sitting for extended periods after surgery can easily cause skin breakdown. Some patients may play mahjong or watch TV for too long at home, which we advise against. It is generally better to lie down or take more walks.
Another risky situation is to avoid riding a bicycle for three months.
Lastly, it is essential to maintain regular bowel movements. Stool should not become constipated, as constipation can also lead to skin breakdown.
