Patient's question:
My husband is 56 years old this year. A few weeks ago, he was diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). I have always paid close attention to his dietary habits. Now that my husband has this condition, I need to pay even more attention to his dietary health. What dietary precautions should be taken for BPH?Doctor's answer:
The diet for prostatitis generally involves eating fewer stimulating foods, fried foods, especially spicy and irritating ones, to avoid stimulating the prostate and causing significant production of urination difficulties. It is also important to smoke less, drink less beer, and consume more foods rich in vitamins. Fresh fruits and vegetables should be eaten more to supplement vitamin intake, and at the same time, oral anti-prostate medications should be taken to implement treatment. Prostate hyperplasia can be cured, but the treatment process is usually slow, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor during treatment.
