A few days ago, he revealed that he was returning for a surgery and after being discharged from the hospital, he could not find the special tape used to fix the urinary catheter in the hospital.

Huang Guanxun, an attending physician at the Department of Urology at Dalin Tzu Chi Hospital in Chiayi, said that in fact, clinically, bladder cancer patients like Ace Broker who require bladder removal are considered a minority. In China, most patients have superficial bladder cancer from stage 0 to stage 1. Such patients Usually only surgery to remove the bladder lining is required, followed by intravesical chemotherapy or radiotherapy, and the bladder can usually be preserved.
However, the recurrence rate of bladder cancer is high, with a recurrence rate of more than 30% within 5 years. Huang Guanxun recommends that patients follow the doctor’s instructions to follow up closely, about once every 3 months. The lining of the bladder has a strong resilience. If recurrence is detected early, curettage treatment can be performed. Generally, as long as the recurrence occurs under close follow-up, and it is usually a superficial bladder cancer, there is still a chance of preserving the bladder.
Bladder cancer is highly invasive and requires bladder removal for stage 2 and above
However, after stage 2, 3, and 4 bladder cancer, due to the strong recurrence and invasiveness of cancer cells, organ preservation cannot be performed. The only option is to remove the bladder and use a section of the small intestine or large intestine as an artificial bladder. The outlet of the artificial bladder can be made from the adjacent skin like an “artificial anus”, a stoma is made to put a urethra, or it can be opened directly from the original site. Huang Guanxun said that because some patients do not urinate cleanly, they need to connect additional urinary tubes and urine bags to conduct urine, so they need to be fixed from the outside.
You can find suitable leggings by asking at the hospital’s urology care station or medical supply store.
In response to Sun Derong’s mention that special tapes that are as convenient as those used to fix urine bags can’t be bought outside the hospital, Huang Guanxun said that in fact, medical equipment is very advanced now. As long as you ask the right person, it means that it is medical equipment such as leggings to fix urine bags. In fact, there are Many options. It is recommended that you inquire at the urological care station of the hospital or at a medical supplies store, you should be able to buy them.
Don’t blame hair dye, smoking is the biggest cause of bladder cancer
Huang Guanxun said that the incidence rate of bladder cancer has shown an increasing trend in recent years, especially in men over 40 years old, where the incidence rate is three times that of women! Although the media often sensationalizes that “you should be careful about bladder cancer when you dye your hair,” in fact, as long as you buy qualified hair dye, it is highly safe, and whether hair dye can cause bladder cancer is still controversial. On the contrary, “smoking” is the most well-founded major risk factor. About 1/3 of bladder cancer patients are smokers. Smokers are 2 to 3 times more likely to develop bladder cancer than non-smokers, so quit smoking.
In addition, those who love to consume herbal medicines indiscriminately, are often exposed to artificial chemical dyes and dyes, and work in leather or rubber related fields are also high risk factors. Some studies have pointed out that the incidence of bladder cancer among workers in aniline pigment factories is 30 times higher than that of ordinary people. .
Be careful with painless hematuria
Painless hematuria is the most common symptom of bladder cancer. Huang Guanxun reminds the public to conduct basic urine tests regularly to understand their health. This can not only detect bladder cancer early, but also detect diseases such as diabetes and kidney disease early.
