Patient's question:
Suffering from chronic prostatitis, I have been taking medicine for 22 days. For the first 15 days, I took Longqing capsules, Cefdinir, and Qianmao An. For the last week, I took Clarithromycin granules for suspension, Longqing capsules, and Qianmao An. Today, I went to the hospital and was prescribed another 15 days of Clarithromycin granules for suspension, Qianmaoxin capsules, and Qianmao An. Is this prescription okay? Additionally, my wife often makes a soup with Codonopsis, Goji berries, and red dates. Can I eat it?Doctor's answer:
The common symptoms of prostatitis include urgency, frequency, pain during urination, white discharge, lower back pain, and even sexual dysfunction. It is recommended to drink plenty of water, avoid holding urine, to maintain urinary tract, and to help the secretion of prostatic fluid. Alcohol, caffeine, spicy foods, and other irritating foods have a significant impact on this condition and should be avoided as much as possible.Suggestions for dietary management: It is advisable to consume less fried and high-fat foods, and more fresh fruits, vegetables, and raw nuts rich in natural unsaturated fatty acids, such as sunflower seeds and sesame seeds. Foods high in zinc, such as apples, are also recommended.
There are several treatment methods for prostatitis, but the diagnostic approach may vary depending on the patient's symptoms.
