Patient's question:
During this period, the symptoms of burning sensation during urination, urinary urgency, frequent urination, and painful urination have recurred repeatedly. It's been particularly painful every day, and it's also uncomfortable during sexual activity at night. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and it was diagnosed as prostatitis. What foods should I avoid?Doctor's answer:
Absolutely avoid alcohol consumption, as it can cause congestion and edema in the prostate and bladder neck, leading to urinary retention. Eat less spicy and irritating foods; consuming them excessively can cause congestion in sexual organs while also alleviating symptoms of hemorrhoids and constipation, helping to control the prostate and relieve urination difficulties. Never hold in urine; doing so can lead to excessive bladder filling, weakening the detrusor muscle of the bladder and causing urination difficulties again, easily resulting in acute urinary retention. For patients with prostatitis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If not treated promptly, it can affect overall health.
