Patient's question:
Doctor, hello, my father has had prostatitis for many years. He has been taking medicine for treatment, but it hasn't been very effective. My friend said he should eat less tea. Unfortunately, my father was a big tea lover back then. I would like to consult the doctor, can people with prostatitis drink tea leaves?Doctor's answer:
According to your age, the occurrence of prostatitis is mainly caused by factors such as benign prostatic hyperplasia. Men with prostatitis are advised not to drink strong tea to prevent worsening of the condition. It is appropriate to consume some light tea. At the same time, in terms of diet, it is necessary to avoid spicy and irritating foods, and eat more light, easily digestible, and vitamin-rich foods. Smoking and drinking should be avoided, and prolonged sitting should be prevented. Prostatitis patients can, while understanding the principle of symptomatic treatment, use folk remedies as supplementary therapy in daily life. It is essential to avoid excessive hunger or fullness in daily dietary habits and never overeat or binge drink.
