Patient's question:
Unable to urinate, unable to have a bowel movement smoothly, the tumor has metastasized to multiple locations, and the prostate is not doing well. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Currently suffering from advanced cancer with multiple metastases. Only palliative treatment is possible, aiming to minimize quality of life and slow down the progression of the disease. Currently unable to urinate, it is recommended to undergo a urinary diversion or use an indwelling catheter to drain the urine. For constipation, medications such as glycerin suppositories or laxatives can be used to assist with bowel movements. For prostate cancer patients, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications, whereas delayed treatment may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should receive timely symptomatic treatment and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene.
