Patient's question:
The diagnosis revealed that I have benign prostatic hyperplasia. I plan to have surgery this weekend. I would like to know what precautions to take after the surgery, how to adjust, and what restrictions there are in daily life.Doctor's answer:
Sir 1. After the male patient returns to the room, he should always maintain fresh indoor air, increase staff movement, ensure the patient has adequate rest, and after the anesthesia period, adopt a sloped position to facilitate bladder drainage, prevent postural pneumonia, and record the intake and output for 24 hours. 2. Pay close attention to the condition of blood in the urine. Generally, initial bleeding tends to recur within 24 hours after surgery, often related to incomplete medication application during the procedure, insufficient control by the catheter balloon, or bleeding from the wound. The characteristics are persistent deep red irrigation fluid in the bladder, accompanied by small blood clots. When the amount is large, it can easily cause catheter blockage. If such symptoms are observed, report the doctor immediately for instructions. 3. Care after catheter removal. Usually, after the urine becomes clear.
