After a prostate puncture, the patient should:
- Lie flat for 4 to 6 hours and measure heart rate and blood pressure every hour for 3 consecutive times.
- Avoid straining to defecate or urinate and avoid strenuous exercise after getting out of bed to prevent bleeding.
- Refer to your doctor if you have blood in your urine or stool.
In addition, you should actively prevent infections and pay attention to changes in body temperature, and any fever should be treated promptly.
After the puncture, you can usually eat and drink normally without fasting, water fasting, etc. After the puncture, a few sterile cotton balls are usually left in the rectum and can be expelled within a few hours.
