What Are the Potential Complications of Prostate Removal?

The prostate is an important reproductive organ for men and the most prone to illness. Surgical resection can be used as a treatment method. Although removing the prostate can be a permanent solution, it can also lead to various complications such as frequent urination, urinary incontinence, hematuria, and sexual dysfunction. Although the possibility of surgical cure is relatively high, the complications that may arise from the surgery are uncontrollable and may even lead to uncontrollable illness and life-threatening situations.

1. Difficulty urinating: If urodynamic analysis is not performed before surgery, it will be impossible to understand the state of the detrusor muscle, and the surgery may lead to difficulty urinating.

2. Sexual dysfunction: Surgery may cause erectile dysfunction and ejaculatory dysfunction.

3. Frequent urination: Overactive bladder syndrome can lead to a reduction in the effective volume of the bladder, and patients may experience frequent urination after surgery.

4. Urinary incontinence: If the sphincter muscle is damaged during surgery, patients may experience urinary incontinence.

5. Late bleeding: The shedding of blood clots may lead to bleeding, and patients are advised to seek medical attention promptly.

If you feel discomfort, do not delay and seek medical attention at a reputable hospital as soon as possible. Follow the advice of your doctor, actively cooperate with the hospital's treatment, and adopt scientific treatment plans and reasonable daily care to effectively reduce the risk of complications after treatment.
