Prostate enlargement: Which foods should be avoided?

Patient's question:

Actually, it wasn't very serious at first. It was just that every time I urinated, I felt a bit of resistance. Recently, I've noticed the situation is getting worse. Sometimes the urine is very thin, and urination is quite difficult, a bit painful as well. After checking at the hospital, the doctor said it's benign prostatic hyperplasia. Please ask: Which foods should be avoided with benign prostatic hyperplasia?

Doctor's answer:

Prostate enlargement patients should avoid drinking strong alcohol and consuming spicy, greasy, and sweet foods. Here are five dietary points for prostate patients:
1. Avoid drinking strong alcohol, consume less spicy and greasy foods, limit coffee intake, eat fewer acidic foods like citrus and orange juice, and reduce the consumption of refined sugar and white flour.
2. Eat more fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and soy products. Consume honey regularly to maintain bowel regularity. Eat sufficient amounts of beef and eggs.
3. Consume seed-based foods, such as pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds, daily without restriction on quantity.
4. Green beans can be cooked into porridge and eaten freely after cooling. This is especially beneficial for those with bladder heat and painful urination.
5. Do not increase water intake due to frequent urination. Drinking more water can help dissolve urine.
