Patient's question:
I am 40 years old this year, and my prostatitis has recurred, which has made me start running to the hospital again. It's really tiring. What should prostatitis patients avoid eating?Doctor's answer:
Hello, prostatitis is a relatively common male reproductive system disease, which is closely related to poor lifestyle and dietary habits, as well as excessive indulgence. Patients with prostatitis should try to eat less spicy and irritating foods. They should maintain a light diet, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and avoid smoking and drinking alcohol. It is recommended to seek medical examination and treatment at a formal public hospital.For men who have already developed prostatitis, spicy foods should still be avoided: foods like raw garlic, scallions, pepper, and chili peppers may enhance the flavor of dishes, but they can cause blood vessel dilation and organ congestion. For patients with chronic prostatitis, these foods are particularly harmful. Consuming too much of these spicy and irritating foods can lead to prolonged and unresolved prostatitis.
Therefore, to prevent long-term and repeated chronic congestion of the prostate tissue, patients must avoid these foods, especially during periods of symptom relief, to avoid prolonged suffering.
