Patient's question:
Recently, I've noticed that my urine has been particularly yellow, and I've also been experiencing a dull pain in my lower abdomen. Additionally, I've been experiencing urinary incontinence after sexual activity, which has made me feel very embarrassed. Over time, I thought about going to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said I have prostatitis. Can I eat garlic sprouts?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis only affects a very small number of patients with acute history, and most exhibit a chronic, recurrent course. The pathogens are mostly enteric pathogens, and routine bacteriological tests detect bacteria in only about 20% of patients. Recent studies have shown that urodynamic tests in prostatitis patients reveal elevated pressure in the posterior urethra, and symptoms are reduced or disappear after taking oral α-adrenergic receptor antagonists, suggesting increased smooth muscle tone in the posterior urethra of the prostate. However, the general treatment period is long, and the disease is prone to relapse after treatment. Patients need to maintain a light diet.
