Patient's question:
Male, 73 years old, with an enlarged prostate. He underwent minimally invasive prostate surgery in mid-December 2018. Since then, within three months after the surgery, he has repeatedly experienced symptoms of urethral adhesion, stenosis, and difficulty urinating. He has been to the hospital for urethral dilation five times, but it still hasn't improved. How should the doctor treat it for better results?Doctor's answer:
After minimally invasive surgery on the prostate, recurrent urethral adhesions, stricture, and difficulty urinating have occurred. It is considered that urethral adhesions after surgery are a complication of prostate surgery. If the surgery is performed, adhesions may occur.Guidance and recommendations: Personal opinion; it is feasible to perform percutaneous bladder puncture to drain urine and place a drainage tube. Due to the inability to personally examine the condition, a comprehensive understanding of the illness is not possible. You should seek treatment under the specific guidance of a doctor at the hospital.
In addition, during the treatment for the prostate, in addition to symptomatic treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also very important. The patient must always maintain a cheerful mood and eat properly to avoid unnecessary interference with the complete recovery of the prostate.
