How long does it take for kidney cancer to progress from early to late stage?
It will likely take about two years. Kidney cancer is a malignant tumor with a relatively high degree of malignancy, and its prognosis is closely related to its specific pathological staging. Therefore, it is not possible to accurately judge this time frame as it relates to individual differences in tumors and the degree of malignancy. Timely detection and standard treatment are crucial. The first choice is surgical treatment, which should be followed by immunotherapy and targeted therapy to prevent and reduce the possibility of postoperative recurrence and metastasis. If controlled effectively, early cure is possible, and the survival period in the middle and late stages can be significantly extended. Early treatment primarily involves surgical operations, which can be complemented by traditional Chinese medicine to reduce the risk of recurrence.
What are the symptoms of bladder stones?
The symptoms of bladder stones primarily include frequent urination, urgent urination, painful urination, visible blood in the urine, and sometimes interrupted urination. Bladder stones mainly form when kidney stones move down through the ureters into the bladder. Another cause may be due to urinary obstruction, such as prostate enlargement in males, an elevated bladder neck, etc., leading to urinary retention, which in turn causes the formation of bladder stones. Bladder stones are a common disease in the urinary system and can be cured with proper treatment at a hospital’s urology department.
Can I drink strong tea during chronic prostatitis?
Patients with chronic prostatitis should avoid drinking strong tea during treatment. They should primarily drink warm boiled water, increase their water intake, urinate frequently, and eat a light, easily digestible diet without consuming spicy or irritating foods. Patients with chronic prostatitis should visit the urology or andrology department of their local hospital for a systematic examination, including bacterial culture of prostate fluid and drug sensitivity tests. Treatment should be based on the results, choosing antibiotics that are effective against the identified pathogen.
Can chronic prostatitis of twenty years be surgically removed?
Chronic prostatitis, which has lasted for twenty years, cannot be removed through surgery. Generally, prostatitis is treated with medication and surgery is not an option. Patients with chronic prostatitis can visit the urology or andrology department of their local hospital for a systematic examination and treatment. The initial step is to conduct a bacterial culture of the prostatic fluid, along with a drug sensitivity test. Based on the results, the pathogen causing the infection is identified, and the antibiotics to which this pathogen is sensitive are determined. Then, treatment proceeds with these sensitive antibiotics. Additionally, patients can take warm water sitz baths every evening and regularly visit the hospital for prostate massages.
Is the recurrence rate of kidney cancer high?
Kidney cancer is associated with a certain recurrence rate. If a patient undergoes partial nephrectomy for kidney cancer, it is crucial to schedule regular follow-ups at the hospital to monitor the renal pelvis and check if the cancer has recurred. If the patient has undergone radical nephrectomy, where the affected kidney is entirely removed, it is important to regularly observe the surrounding tissues and distant organ tissues for any signs of tumor metastasis.
Bladder inflammation moxibustion site
Cystitis is primarily treated with antibiotics, so moxibustion can only serve as an auxiliary treatment method. Commonly chosen acupoints include Zhongji and Guanyuan. Moxibustion involves igniting a moxa stick, targeting the body's meridians and channels to achieve a therapeutic effect. Moxibustion can effectively unblock the body's meridians, and for certain symptoms of diseases like cystitis, it can have a significant effect. It is a treatment method in traditional Chinese medicine. From the perspective of Chinese medicine, the treatment of cystitis with moxibustion is considered a form of internal and external medicine, where blood and qi play a direct role.
Is vomiting severe in renal cancer?
Patients with kidney cancer who experience vomiting are facing a serious situation because nausea and vomiting are common symptoms among late-stage cancer patients and are often more distressing than the pain from cancer itself. Nausea and vomiting may be side effects of treatment, or they might be caused by cancer invading the digestive and nervous systems. People who are ill often feel anxious, which is also one of the reasons causing vomiting. Cancer patients need to pay extra attention to their diet, as this can greatly aid their treatment. In daily life, it is beneficial to consume more fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes, focusing on light meals to ensure a balanced diet and supplement various nutrients.
Can urethritis syphilis recur?
Urethritis and syphilis can both recur. Urethritis is primarily due to bacterial cleansing, leading to inflammatory infection of the urinary tract. If personal hygiene is not maintained, it can cause recurrence of urethritis, or the presence of other urinary system diseases may also lead to its recurrence. A relapse of syphilis refers to the condition where, after treatment, the titer is controlled below 1:4, but during an intermittent observation period, the titer rises again, and the proportion of increase is relatively high. This situation is considered a recurrence of syphilis.
How to treat testicular pain caused by chronic prostatitis?
Chronic prostatitis may cause testicular pain, possibly due to the inflammation spreading from the prostate gland to the testicles, resulting in testicular inflammation. Patients should undergo a color ultrasound examination under the guidance of a doctor to observe the condition of the testicles. After confirmation, treatment can include oral or intravenous administration of broad-spectrum antibiotics. Additionally, patients should rest in bed, minimize activity, and support the scrotum with soft clothing, which can help reduce testicular swelling and alleviate pain.
How is bladder calculus treated?
Patients with cystitis who also have bladder stones need to use antibiotics for local anti-inflammatory treatment. Meanwhile, the bladder stones require formal treatment. If the size of the stone is less than 2 centimeters, patients can undergo extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy in the lithotripsy department. If the size of the stone is more than 2 centimeters, patients need to visit the urology department for minimally invasive surgery, specifically ureteroscopic holmium laser lithotripsy. During this procedure, a ureteroscope is inserted through the urethra to visually break up and flush out the stone.
