What are the precautions after transurethral electrical prostatectomy?

It takes about 3 months for complete healing after transurethral resection of the prostate, and self-care during this period is crucial. 1, prevention and treatment of urinary tract infection: after surgery, the patient’s urethra prostate part of the damage and exposed, attached to the necrotic tissue and blood clots that are not completely off, these may become a good culture medium for bacterial growth, in addition, the patient’s resistance to decline after the operation, but also makes the risk of urinary tract infection increased, in the urinary tract infection after the wound is congested or ruptured bleeding, then the formation of delayed hemorrhage. Patients should take oral antibiotics excreted through urine, such as levofloxacin, etc., and pay attention to rest and drink more water within 2 to 3 weeks after discharge. 2.Prevent bleeding: In addition to the above infectious factors, bleeding is mainly caused by direct stimulation of the wound, such as dry stool, strenuous activities, especially cycling and other direct stimulation of the prostate fossa, as well as, sexual intercourse and alcohol consumption will also cause local congestion, increasing the risk of infection and bleeding. 3, to improve the temporary incontinence: after BPH surgery many patients will have varying degrees of urinary incontinence, may be due to decreased resistance of the posterior urethra, management of bladder urinary bladder forced muscle contraction without inhibition, infection in the prostate fossa, etc., of course, damage to the external urethral sphincter caused by the true urinary incontinence is very rare. Patients should develop the habit of regular urination, which can enhance the compliance of the bladder forced urinary muscle, so that the bladder to carry urine increased, assisted by the use of drugs to increase the compliance of the bladder forced urinary muscle, such as sernitin, etc. can also play a certain effect. In addition, pelvic floor muscle contraction training, i.e. anal lifting training is also very important, and oral promethazine etc. can also help to some extent, through the enhancement of urethral sphincter and pelvic floor muscle tone to achieve the purpose of controlling urinary incontinence. If the patient still exists incontinence after one year, should go to a specialized hospital for further treatment to determine whether it is true urinary incontinence. 4, pay attention to nutrition, work and rest: in addition to the above drink more water, eat more fruits and vegetables, should pay attention to diet and nutritional allocation, recipes pay attention to nutrition and easy to be absorbed by the elderly.
