Patient's question:
This week, I've been feeling like I can't fully empty my bladder when urinating, and it seems like I lack strength when urinating. The stream is very thin, and I even feel like I can't urinate properly. Is this a sign of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)? If so, please tell me: What foods should I avoid with BPH?Doctor's answer:
Prostate hyperplasia patients should avoid spicy, greasy, and sweet foods. Prostatitis patients should pay attention to five dietary points:1. Avoid drinking strong alcohol, eat less spicy and greasy foods, drink less coffee, eat less acidic foods like citrus and orange juice, and eat less refined sugar and white flour.
2. Eat more fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and soy products. Eat more honey to keep bowel movements regular. Consume sufficient beef and eggs.
3. Consume seed-based foods, such as pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds, daily in any quantity.
4. Green beans can be cooked into porridge and eaten freely after cooling. This is especially suitable for those with heat in the bladder and difficulty urinating.
5. Do not increase fluid intake due to frequent urination. Drinking more water can help dissolve urine.
