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.
Renal cancer interventional treatment efficacy.
Interventional treatment for kidney cancer is a relatively effective treatment method. Kidney cancer is a common malignant tumor in the urinary system. Tumors in the kidneys can cause dysfunction in the body's endocrine system, usually resulting in symptoms such as polycythemia, hypercalcemia, and changes in kidney function. Interventional treatment is a major method for treating kidney cancer. Its advantages are that it is patient-oriented and addresses both the root and symptoms. The treatment drugs can directly target the affected area, not only increasing the concentration of drugs at the lesion site but also reducing the dosage of drugs and their toxic side effects.
Can kidney cancer patients eat mushrooms?
Patients with kidney cancer can eat mushrooms. They should pay special attention to their diet in daily life, as some foods can harm their body after consumption. It is advisable for kidney cancer patients to eat foods that enhance vitality and avoid spicy and stimulating foods, foods high in iodine, seafood, and also to abstain from drinking alcohol and smoking. Kidney cancer patients generally have less physical activity and poorer digestive functions, so they should primarily consume foods that are light and easy to digest. The diet of kidney cancer patients must ensure nutritional sufficiency and pay attention to a balanced diet, incorporating starchy foods like carrots and peas, as well as foods that enhance the body's anti-cancer abilities, such as mushrooms and shiitake mushrooms.
How long does it take for kidney cancer to progress from early to late stage?
It will likely take about two years. Kidney cancer is a malignant tumor with a relatively high degree of malignancy, and its prognosis is closely related to its specific pathological staging. Therefore, it is not possible to accurately judge this time frame as it relates to individual differences in tumors and the degree of malignancy. Timely detection and standard treatment are crucial. The first choice is surgical treatment, which should be followed by immunotherapy and targeted therapy to prevent and reduce the possibility of postoperative recurrence and metastasis. If controlled effectively, early cure is possible, and the survival period in the middle and late stages can be significantly extended. Early treatment primarily involves surgical operations, which can be complemented by traditional Chinese medicine to reduce the risk of recurrence.
What are the symptoms of bladder stones?
The symptoms of bladder stones primarily include frequent urination, urgent urination, painful urination, visible blood in the urine, and sometimes interrupted urination. Bladder stones mainly form when kidney stones move down through the ureters into the bladder. Another cause may be due to urinary obstruction, such as prostate enlargement in males, an elevated bladder neck, etc., leading to urinary retention, which in turn causes the formation of bladder stones. Bladder stones are a common disease in the urinary system and can be cured with proper treatment at a hospital’s urology department.
Can I drink strong tea during chronic prostatitis?
Patients with chronic prostatitis should avoid drinking strong tea during treatment. They should primarily drink warm boiled water, increase their water intake, urinate frequently, and eat a light, easily digestible diet without consuming spicy or irritating foods. Patients with chronic prostatitis should visit the urology or andrology department of their local hospital for a systematic examination, including bacterial culture of prostate fluid and drug sensitivity tests. Treatment should be based on the results, choosing antibiotics that are effective against the identified pathogen.
Can chronic prostatitis of twenty years be surgically removed?
Chronic prostatitis, which has lasted for twenty years, cannot be removed through surgery. Generally, prostatitis is treated with medication and surgery is not an option. Patients with chronic prostatitis can visit the urology or andrology department of their local hospital for a systematic examination and treatment. The initial step is to conduct a bacterial culture of the prostatic fluid, along with a drug sensitivity test. Based on the results, the pathogen causing the infection is identified, and the antibiotics to which this pathogen is sensitive are determined. Then, treatment proceeds with these sensitive antibiotics. Additionally, patients can take warm water sitz baths every evening and regularly visit the hospital for prostate massages.
Is the recurrence rate of kidney cancer high?
Kidney cancer is associated with a certain recurrence rate. If a patient undergoes partial nephrectomy for kidney cancer, it is crucial to schedule regular follow-ups at the hospital to monitor the renal pelvis and check if the cancer has recurred. If the patient has undergone radical nephrectomy, where the affected kidney is entirely removed, it is important to regularly observe the surrounding tissues and distant organ tissues for any signs of tumor metastasis.
Bladder inflammation moxibustion site
Cystitis is primarily treated with antibiotics, so moxibustion can only serve as an auxiliary treatment method. Commonly chosen acupoints include Zhongji and Guanyuan. Moxibustion involves igniting a moxa stick, targeting the body's meridians and channels to achieve a therapeutic effect. Moxibustion can effectively unblock the body's meridians, and for certain symptoms of diseases like cystitis, it can have a significant effect. It is a treatment method in traditional Chinese medicine. From the perspective of Chinese medicine, the treatment of cystitis with moxibustion is considered a form of internal and external medicine, where blood and qi play a direct role.
Is vomiting severe in renal cancer?
Patients with kidney cancer who experience vomiting are facing a serious situation because nausea and vomiting are common symptoms among late-stage cancer patients and are often more distressing than the pain from cancer itself. Nausea and vomiting may be side effects of treatment, or they might be caused by cancer invading the digestive and nervous systems. People who are ill often feel anxious, which is also one of the reasons causing vomiting. Cancer patients need to pay extra attention to their diet, as this can greatly aid their treatment. In daily life, it is beneficial to consume more fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes, focusing on light meals to ensure a balanced diet and supplement various nutrients.
