Can patients with bladder cancer drink red wine?

Bladder cancer patients can drink red wine in moderation: 1. Moderate consumption may be beneficial: Red wine contains antioxidants such as polyphenols. Drinking it in moderation may help reduce the incidence of cardiovascular diseases and may have a certain inhibitory effect on the spread of cancer cells. Therefore, moderate consumption of red wine may provide certain health benefits for patients with bladder cancer. 2. Excessive consumption may worsen the condition: Red wine is an alcoholic beverage and has certain irritant properties. Bladder cancer is generally caused by chronic bladder diseases that fail to heal over a long period or by prolonged exposure to irritating chemical substances. Therefore, excessive consumption of red wine by bladder cancer patients may lead to acute alcohol poisoning, thereby worsening their condition. If in doubt, it is recommended to consult a professional physician.
