For patients with uroepithelial tumors, in addition to surgery, bladder irrigation therapy is routinely performed for about six months to two years after surgery. Many patients successively experience urinary frequency, urgency, painful urination, incomplete sense of urination, hematuria, sometimes accompanied by lower abdominal distension, some must go to the toilet almost in 1 minute, and patients cannot sleep at night and have poor mental status, making it difficult to persist. For this reason, this article was written to inform us sufferers how to recognize chemical cystitis after bladder irrigation.
The so-called chemical cystitis after bladder irrigation refers to the abnormal urination symptoms described above that occur after bladder irrigation treatment is performed. It is a manifestation of cystitis caused by the action of drugs. The severity of this manifestation sometimes varies from person to person, and the early or late occurrence of this manifestation also varies from person to person, but clinically it is mostly seen around the 6th-8th bladder irrigation treatment.
What should I do after the appearance of chemical cystitis? I think the following will be of some help: 1. First of all, we must understand the disease and its occurrence correctly, do not panic with fear and do not think wildly. This is a normal occurrence in the course of perfusion therapy, the vast majority of patients are basically prone to symptoms after receiving chemotherapy drug perfusion chemotherapy, to be treated correctly, not negative; 2, the most obvious symptoms often occur about 2-3 days after the current perfusion, and thereafter gradually alleviate; sometimes, if the symptoms have not been alleviated, again when receiving a second perfusion, the symptoms will be worse than the last. Once you understand this pattern, you can communicate with your transdiagnostic physician to adjust the timing of perfusion as appropriate. For example, you can moderately avoid this time when the symptoms are aggravated, and the urination symptoms will be much better.
3. Be sure to drink more water and don’t be afraid to urinate. Those who have poor sleep status at night can moderately adjust the sleep pattern to guarantee enough sleep and avoid adverse events caused by lack of sleep. Try to avoid eating spicy and stimulating food.
4, some symptoms are really serious and unbearable, use drugs to relieve symptoms under the guidance of physicians; those who do not work again can consider replacing chemotherapy drugs with less stimulation.
5. It is important to adhere to bladder infusion chemotherapy, which can effectively reduce the risk of tumor recurrence. Under this premise, persistence is victory. The development of chemical cystitis is sometimes manageable, and the symptoms will be much better when the bladder is perfused once a month.
The number of patients receiving bladder irrigation therapy has gradually increased and our understanding of chemical cystitis has gradually grown. All kinds of clinical conditions occur, but persistence is most important, as long as you insist on proper understanding and proper treatment, persistence is victory!
