Diet after bladder cancer surgery

Although bladder cancer is a malignant tumor and poses a great threat to the patient's health, as long as it is discovered in time and treated, it will not cause fatal harm to the patient's body. However, surgical treatment is not the only treatment method. In addition to surgery, there are also chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Therefore, during treatment, you must also adjust your diet. Because surgery consumes too much energy, adjusting your diet can not only allow the body to obtain all the nutrients it needs, but also make the body's resistance stronger, which can also ensure better treatment results. Of course, a reasonable diet is also critical to wound healing. Let's learn about dietary adjustments after bladder cancer surgery.

1. Surgery is the first and most basic step in the treatment of bladder cancer, because it is a way to remove the tumor. Generally, removing the tumor does not mean that the cancer is cured, because this type of cancer cell has a strong ability to replicate and also has the possibility of metastasis and spread. Therefore, further radiotherapy or chemotherapy is required to better inhibit the further development of cancer cells. However, this system of treatment has a great impact on the patient's body. Only by ensuring adequate nutrition supply can the patient's body cope with so much damage.

2. After bladder cancer surgery, you must adjust your diet, because after surgery, if you adjust your diet well, the body will take in more nutrients, and the body's resistance will be stronger. The body will also store a lot of energy, which is very beneficial for the subsequent treatment, can ensure the smooth progress of the treatment, and will make the treatment effect better. Therefore, for bladder cancer patients, some foods with anti-cancer effects and foods that can improve the body's immunity should be eaten, such as snails, kelp, seaweed, turtle, jellyfish, coix seed, water chestnut, walnut, pork kidney, sea bass, etc.

3. If urethral obstruction occurs after bladder cancer surgery, you can eat more kelp, wakame, seaweed, blue crab and other foods. However, to prevent bladder cancer infection, you can eat pigeon, jellyfish, lotus root starch, buckwheat, kohlrabi, olives, eggplant, figs, mung bean sprouts, soy milk, amaranth, seaweed, loach and other foods. In order to reduce the symptoms of bleeding after bladder cancer surgery, you can eat celery, day lily, leek, winter melon, black plum, dried persimmon, sesame, lotus seeds, sea cucumber and so on.

Generally, there are not too many dietary restrictions for bladder cancer patients after surgery. As long as it is not spicy food, tobacco, alcohol, coffee are not allowed. Of course, some foods that are easy to cause cancer are also not allowed, especially moldy food and pickled food. Also, longan, red dates, donkey-hide gelatin, royal jelly and other foods with high heat and hormone content should not be eaten for the time being.
