What should patients pay attention to in their diet after urostomy surgery?

 

If a certain organ of the urinary system has a serious irreversible lesion and cannot use urethroplasty to restore urination from the tract, the urinary tract can be opened directly or indirectly into the abdominal wall to obtain a new way to discharge urine from the body, which is called a urostomy.

 

After urostomy surgery by some Urology consumables, there is no need to make any major changes in diet, but how long after surgery can I eat? What are the special attentions the patients need to pay to?

 

Since stoma surgery removes part of the intestine to form an abdominal stoma by the Urology Products, coupled with the effect of anesthesia, intestinal paralysis may occur and gastrointestinal motility may slow down. If you have foods at a too early time, the gastrointestinal tract cannot have the normal digestion and absorption, which will not only cause abdominal distension and discomfort, but also affect the healing of the anastomosis;

 

When the intestinal peristalsis function returns to normal and the intestines are unobstructed, food can be eaten. Generally speaking, When gas is discharged from the anus about 3 days after surgery with Ureteral catheters, it means that the intestinal peristalsis function has been restored, and you can start eating from an easily digestible liquid diet.

 

Appropriately increase acidic food intake

 

For patients with urostomy, special attentions should be paid to the acidity and alkalinity of food in their diet. Because in abnormally acidic urine, uric acid and amino acid stones are easily formed, while excessively alkaline urine can also form phosphate, carbonate or oxalate crystals.

 

When the urine becomes darker or the urine smell becomes heavier, it may be due to undereating or urinary tract infection. You should drink more water, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and supplement vitamin C to increase the acidity of urine and reduce the occurrence of infection.
