Patient's question:
Suffering from chronic prostatitis, I have been taking medication for 22 days. For the first 15 days, I took Longqing capsules, Cefdinir, and Qianmao An. For the last week, I took Clarithromycin dry suspension, Longqing capsules, and Qianmao An. Today, I went to the hospital and was prescribed another 15 days of Clarithromycin dry 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 urinary urgency, frequent urination, painful urination, white discharge, lower back pain, and even sexual dysfunction. It is recommended to drink more 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.Advice on diet: It is recommended to eat less fried foods and high-fat foods, and to consume more fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as 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.
