Patient's question:
Father is 65 years old. During the daytime training, he suddenly noticed blood in his urine. In the afternoon, there were blood clots, and by the evening, he couldn't urinate at all. On the third day, he was admitted to the hospital for treatment, and most of his prostate was removed. Pathological tests revealed a small number of cancer cells. He was told to wait three more months before further treatment. Currently, he is resting at home and taking medication. What should he do?Doctor's answer:
Looking after a patient who has been diagnosed with prostate cancer and has undergone surgical treatment, it is acceptable to wait for a period of time after the surgery for the body to fully recover before focusing on treatment. Currently, staying at home for rest is also a good option. However, if radiation and chemotherapy are not implemented at this time, it might be worth considering traditional Chinese medicine. In the patient's current condition, traditional Chinese medicine can be used to differentiate symptoms and provide targeted treatment, which has been effective for some time. Prostate cancer can be recovered, but the treatment period is generally long, and the disease is prone to relapse after treatment.
