Nursing diagnosis of prostate cancer
Male patients are treated with surgery for prostate cancer and are cared for after surgery. Because if there is improper care after surgery, it will not only affect the recovery speed and treatment effect of the body after surgery, but also increase the chance of recurrence and metastasis of tumor cells after surgery.
In general, after surgery, patients will have urinary incontinence, urethral anastomotic stenosis,Erectile dysfunctionetc.
Therefore, we need to take proper care of these conditions.
Urinary incontinence often occurs after surgery, and this occurs due to damage or bruising of the patient's urethral sphincter. If patients do not control their urination well, it can seriously affect their daily life. Long-term urinary incontinence can also lead to secondary urinary system and perineal skin infections. Therefore, after prostate surgery, patients should be prepared for urinary incontinence, overcome anxiety and other bad emotions, and exercise pelvic floor muscles to make the sphincter recover quickly.
Patients also present with symptoms such as progressive thinning of the urine line and dysuria, which are clinical manifestations of urethral anastomotic stenosis. Patients should take care to ensure that the urethral opening is clean at all times to avoid infection.
During surgical treatment, the patient's bilateral vascular nerve bundles are often damaged, which makes their erectile function impaired.Therefore, in patients with such symptoms, they should be psychologically counseled and not overly psychologically stressed.
In addition, it should be noted that even if the patient has undergone surgical treatment, this does not mean that the cancer is completely cured, and surgical treatment can only remove some large tumor tissues in the patient's body, and for some relatively subtle lesions, surgery cannot be completely removed. Therefore, after the surgical treatment, it is necessary to continue to receive examinations and go to the hospital regularly for examinations to achieve early detection and early treatment.
