Patient's question:
I was diagnosed with sexual dysfunction a while ago. I want to know, can people with sexual dysfunction eat winter melon?Doctor's answer:
Sexual dysfunction accompanied by symptoms such as reddish, hot, and painful urination, dry mouth with a strong desire for drinking, red tongue with white or yellow greasy coating, slippery or wiry pulse, or excessive phlegm and saliva, as well as symptoms like chest tightness and body heaviness, should avoid consuming greasy meats, including mutton, dog meat, chicken, and sparrow meat, as well as pungent and warm foods like chili peppers, scallions, chives, and garlic. If there is severe phlegm-dampness, it is advisable to avoid rich and greasy foods such as chicken, ducks, meat, and seafood. Additionally, smoking, alcohol, coffee, and fried or smoked foods should also be avoided.
