nephrostomy, where a draining tube and bag are placed on your body, or a stent to allow the flow of urine.
Bowel problems
If the cancer is advancing to the rectum area, this can lead to a variety of complications – including diarrhea, fecal incontinence, constipation, rectal urgency and stomach and back pain. Your diet can help these issues.
For constipation, try adding foods high in fiber to your daily meals, such as whole grain bread and breakfast cereals, fruits and vegetables.
For diarrhea, do the opposite – cut down on fibers like pasta and bread, potatoes and eggs.
Sexual problems
It may be difficult to get an erection if your cancer has advanced to the point where you’re undergoing radiotherapy, hormone therapy or surgery. However, one cause of erection is state of mind. If you’re feeling low or defeated by cancer, that can affect your mood and ability in bed. Therapy can help this.
