Radical prostate cancer surgery is a difficult procedure that is physically and psychologically challenging for the patient. Moreover, patients are mostly elderly and often have a combination of other systemic diseases, so they should be well prepared before surgery.
First, one should maintain a good state of mind and avoid excessive anxiety; excessive stress and anxiety may affect the outcome of the procedure.
Second, patients with heart, brain, and lung diseases should consult their relevant medical doctors to see if they need to adjust their medication regimen. For example, patients with hypertension and diabetes should keep their blood pressure and blood sugar within reasonable limits, and patients who have been taking aspirin for a long time are asked to stop taking it for at least a week before surgery to avoid uncontrollable hemorrhage during and after surgery.
In addition, it is important to maintain good lifestyle habits by quitting smoking and alcohol.
