Patient's question:
A few days ago, my father just had radiofrequency ablation at home, but I don't really understand how to take care of him after such surgeries. I thought of going back home in a few days to take care of him. He is quite old now, and it's not very convenient for him to move around.Doctor's answer:
Because the patient changed their previous lifestyle and was not accustomed to urinating in bed, it led to urinary retention. Discovering urination difficulties may cause urination, such as letting the patient listen to the sound of flowing water or applying cold compresses to the lower abdomen. Those with poor results will be given indwelling catheterization and closely monitored for urine output. After 24 hours, the catheter will be removed. Rest well, avoid fatigue and strenuous exercise. Maintain emotional stability; ensure sufficient deep sleep; quit smoking and alcohol, avoid spicy and irritating foods, do not eat too full, and keep bowel movements smooth.
