How to treat ureteritis after gastric cancer surgery

Usually, it is a routine operation for gastric cancer patients to have an indwelling urinary catheter after surgery. If the urinary catheter is infected, anti-infection treatment is required in time, and the local area should be kept clean and dry.

1. General treatment: Pay attention to personal hygiene in daily life, change underwear and bed sheets and quilts frequently, and avoid excessive force during defecation that may cause the wound to split;

2. Drug treatment: For patients with mild symptoms, antibiotics can be used as prescribed by the doctor to control the inflammatory response, such as cefixime capsules or amoxicillin capsules. At the same time, oral heat-clearing and detoxifying Chinese patent medicines can be used to help relieve discomfort, such as Niuhuang Shangqing Pills or Sanjin Tablets. If the condition is more serious, intravenous antibiotics are required to eliminate bacterial infections. Commonly used drugs include levofloxacin sodium chloride injection and ciprofloxacin hydrochloride injection;

3. Other methods: In addition to the above treatment methods, physical therapy can also be used to help reduce swelling and relieve pain, such as infrared irradiation or microwave therapy, which can promote blood circulation and accelerate metabolism, and is conducive to the absorption and disappearance of inflammation. In addition, acupuncture can also be used to improve physical fitness and achieve the purpose of conditioning.

Patients are advised to eat a light and easily digestible diet, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables to supplement vitamin C, and drink more water to increase metabolic circulation in the body. In addition, they should go to the hospital for regular check-ups to understand the recovery status. If there are any abnormalities, they need to actively cooperate with the doctor for symptomatic treatment.
