Patient's question:
My husband has been feeling discomfort during urination for a while. He went to the hospital for a thorough examination and was diagnosed with prostatitis. He just had surgery. What are the post-prostate surgery precautions?Doctor's answer:
After prostate surgery, attention should be paid to various aspects. Generally, after prostate surgery, it is important to avoid overexertion and prolonged sitting, especially on bicycles, as this can easily lead to excessive congestion of the prostate, which is clearly unfavorable for full recovery. First, it is recommended that you engage in appropriate exercise to prevent overexertion. You should undergo a follow-up ultrasound or CT scan at a professional urology department one month after the surgery. Eat nutritious foods and avoid alcohol. Pay attention to maintaining a regular daily routine, follow a schedule, and try your best to avoid catching colds. Develop good lifestyle habits. For patients with prostate conditions, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence. If treatment is delayed, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly according to their symptoms and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
