What dietary precautions should be taken for benign prostatic hyperplasia?

Patient's question:

Hello doctor, I went to the hospital for a check-up two days ago, and the doctor said I have benign prostatic hyperplasia. What should I pay attention to in my diet if I have benign prostatic hyperplasia?

Doctor's answer:

In daily life and diet, eat less spicy foods like chili peppers; drink less alcohol and restrain sexual activity to prevent constipation from recurring. Every morning, drink a glass of warm boiled water on an empty stomach. It can prevent work-related constipation, dissolve blood clots, and act as a mechanical scrub for the urinary tract, ensuring that residual urine does not form stones. Prostate enlargement can be cured, but the treatment process is usually long, and relapse is common after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid spicy foods, and not smoke or drink beer. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
