Patient's question:
Since the beginning of the year, I've been feeling like I have a lot of nighttime urination, and also frequent urination during the day. When I urinate, there's a stinging sensation, and the amount of urine is not much. I also always feel like I can't empty my bladder completely. My lower back, waist, and abdomen also hurt badly. I think it might be prostatitis. Please ask: What should prostatitis patients avoid eating?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis patients should follow a light diet and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Avoid consuming beef, lamb, dog meat, lychees, litchis, onions, mushrooms, and seafood such as shrimp and crabs. Additionally, maintain a regular sexual life; avoid sitting for long periods or cycling for extended durations; pay attention to local warmth prevention; enhance your immune system and resistance; drink plenty of water; and consider taking hot water to reduce local inflammation and promote healing. For prostatitis patients, timely treatment can help reduce episodes of the condition. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely medication and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
