What should you pay attention to with bladder stones?
Patients with bladder stones need to rest more and be less active. This is because frequent movement can cause the stones in the bladder to shift. If the stones move within the bladder, they can rub against the bladder mucosa, leading to abdominal pain, visible blood in the urine, and painful urination. Sometimes, if the bladder stones block the urethra, it can also make urination difficult. Therefore, patients with bladder stones need to rest more and limit their activities.
Can people with bladder stones drink alcohol?
Patients with bladder stones should not drink alcohol, as drinking can cause congestion of the bladder and urinary tract mucosa, leading to worsening of symptoms. Patients with bladder stones may experience frequent urination, urgent urination, painful urination, and visible blood in the urine. Once bladder stones are diagnosed, timely treatment is necessary. For smaller bladder stones, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy can be performed. Larger bladder stones may require minimally invasive surgical treatment for cure.
Is kidney cancer prone to spreading?
The spread of cancer is caused by genes, and in the early stages of kidney cancer, it does not spread. If there is spreading, it indicates that the cancer has reached an advanced stage, and treatment becomes difficult at this time. If spreading occurs, the main goal is to control the disease and extend survival time, therefore, it is recommended that patients undergo biological treatment. Biological therapy can alleviate the clinical symptoms of late-stage tumor patients who have lost the opportunity for surgery, or where cancer cells have recurred or metastasized, and gradually helps to restore balance to the immune system. Normally, attention should be paid to a low-salt diet, eating light and vitamin-rich foods, and patients with severe edema and high blood pressure should avoid salt intake.
Can teenagers with premature ejaculation get better on their own?
Premature ejaculation in adolescents cannot heal by itself; they must go to local hospitals for systematic examination and treatment. Patients should first visit the urology or andrology department at local hospitals to determine the specific causes of premature ejaculation. If premature ejaculation is caused by an overly long foreskin or phimosis, a circumcision can be performed. After the surgery, the sensitivity of the glans penis will decrease, effectively improving the symptoms of premature ejaculation. If long-term masturbation leads to premature ejaculation, patients should quit the habit of masturbation as soon as possible.
Postoperative care for radical nephrectomy
Postoperative care after radical nephrectomy for kidney cancer is crucial. While the patient is still unconscious from general anesthesia, comprehensive monitoring is essential, with close observation of vital signs including blood pressure, pulse, and respiration. Patients recovering from kidney cancer surgery are extremely vulnerable; thus, it is essential to scientifically and reasonably plan their diet based on their actual condition and physical constitution. A reasonable diet should be formulated, with no food allowed for 48 hours post-surgery. During the period when a gastric tube is in place, intravenous nutrition should be provided. Every activity post-surgery significantly impacts the recovery of the patient's condition, especially the first urination after surgery. Observing the timing and volume of urination is a crucial factor in determining the patient's condition.
Can bladder stones move?
Bladder stones can move within the body, and since the bladder has a relatively large capacity, the movement of the stones can cause friction against the bladder's mucous membrane, leading to pain in patients, accompanied by symptoms of gross hematuria. Once bladder stones are diagnosed, it is necessary to seek prompt treatment at a local hospital's urology department. Treatment plans are made based on the specific size of the stones, observed through ultrasonography of the urinary system.
What should I do if cystitis recurs?
After the recurrence of cystitis, symptoms such as frequent urination, urgent urination, painful urination, and discomfort in the lower abdomen may occur. It is necessary to go to the local hospital's urology department for a formal examination and treatment in a timely manner. Urinalysis and ultrasound of the urinary system can be conducted. In terms of treatment, it is mainly based on oral or intravenous administration of broad-spectrum antibiotics. In addition, patients need to drink more water, urinate frequently, maintain cleanliness of the perineal area by washing daily, engage in appropriate exercise, avoid sitting for long periods, and avoid holding in urine.
Complications after interventional treatment for renal cancer
Post-intervention complications of renal cancer can include hematuria, lower back pain, and tumor recurrence. Hematuria is indirect and painless, visible to the naked eye. Renal cancer often accompanies renal colic, which is due to the formation of ureteral blood clots. Blood clots from renal cell carcinoma can form a ribbon-like shape through the ureter, and the degree of hematuria is not related to the size of the renal cell carcinoma. Renal cell carcinoma sometimes presents persistent microscopic hematuria. Lower back pain is a common symptom, often an intermittent dull pain, usually due to the enlargement of the kidney tumor. When the tumor invades surrounding organs and the psoas major muscle, the pain is heavy and persistent.
How to treat bladder stones?
For the treatment of bladder stones, a treatment plan should be developed based on the specific size of the stones. For smaller stones with a diameter of less than 1.5 centimeters, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy can be used. After the treatment, patients should go home, drink plenty of water, and urinate frequently to help expel the stones from the bladder. For larger bladder stones, surgical treatment is required. Currently, surgeries are minimally invasive; there are no incisions on the abdomen. The procedure mainly involves inserting a ureteroscope through the urethra, then locating and breaking the stones using a holmium laser and flushing them out of the body.
Are kidney cancer and uremia the same?
Kidney cancer and uremia are not the same disease; they are different. Kidney cancer is primarily caused by malignant tumors in the kidney, while uremia results from renal failure of both kidneys, leading to anuria. Kidney cancer requires surgical treatment, followed by postoperative radiotherapy, chemotherapy, molecular therapy, gene therapy, and so on. Patients with uremia generally need to be treated through hemodialysis.
