Patient's question:
Prostate Hyperplasia Can a patient undergo catheterization after prostate hyperplasia surgery?Doctor's answer:
Hello! After the initial period of a prostate hyperplasia surgery, a catheter is required for urination. As the condition recovers, the catheter should be gradually removed to avoid infection caused by prolonged placement. If the elderly person is currently undergoing catheterization, attention should be paid to local hygiene, sterilization should be performed on schedule, and adequate water intake is necessary to prevent inflammation and infection. Prostate hyperplasia can be cured, but the treatment process is generally slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's medication plan is essential during treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and refrain from smoking and drinking beer.
