Risk Factors
Smoking
Smoking is one of the leading causes of bladder cancer. Chemicals in tobacco smoke can damage the lining of the bladder, increasing the risk.
Gender
Men are at a higher risk of developing bladder cancer than women.
Chronic Bladder Infections or Inflammation
Conditions such as bladder infections and long-term bladder inflammation can increase the risk.
Exposure to Chemicals
Prolonged exposure to certain chemicals, especially those used in the dye industry, rubber production, and chemical manufacturing, increases the risk.
Unhealthy Diet
High-fat and low-fiber diets increase the risk of gallstones, obesity, and colon cancer.
Obesity
Excess body weight contributes to acid reflux, gallbladder disease, and fatty liver.
Smoking and Alcohol
Both cause inflammation and increase the risk of stomach and pancreatic cancers.
Family History
Genetic predisposition can make one more prone to colorectal and liver diseases.
Chronic Digestive Disorders
Long-term ulcers, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), or GERD can progress to surgical stages.
Infections
Viral hepatitis or H. pylori infections can damage the liver or stomach lining.
Sedentary Lifestyle
Lack of activity slows digestion and worsens metabolic disorders.
Uncontrolled Diabetes
Leads to delayed gastric emptying, gallbladder disease, and liver damage.

Proper nutrition is essential for a healthy digestive system, especially before and after gastroenterology surgery. The clinical nutritionists at VS Hospitals work closely with surgeons and gastroenterologists to design personalized diets.
- High-fiber foods: Fruits, vegetables, and whole grains aid bowel movement and reduce constipation.
- Lean proteins: Chicken, fish, tofu, and lentils promote healing and tissue repair.
- Probiotic-rich foods: Yogurt, kefir, and fermented foods restore healthy gut bacteria.
- Hydration: Drinking adequate water helps regulate digestion and prevents dehydration after surgery.
- Avoid processed foods: Fried or spicy dishes trigger acid reflux and slow recovery.
- Small, frequent meals: Helps prevent bloating and discomfort after abdominal surgery.
- Low-fat diet: Reduces strain on the gallbladder and pancreas.
- Limit caffeine and alcohol: Both irritate the stomach lining and worsen reflux.
Patients at VS Hospitals receive ongoing dietary guidance to optimize recovery and support long-term gastrointestinal wellness.
