Patient's question:
In the past few months, I've been feeling constantly tired all over, with a heavy and painful sensation in my legs, decreased libido, some frequent urination and urgency, cloudy urine each time, and a burning sensation at the urethral opening that is very painful. My prostate is enlarged. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and was diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia. What foods should I avoid with these symptoms?Doctor's answer:
Men with benign prostatic hyperplasia should avoid drinking hard liquor, consume less spicy and greasy foods, limit coffee intake, and reduce consumption of acidic foods such as oranges and orange juice. Additionally, they should eat less refined sugar and processed flour. Moreover, it is essential for individuals with benign prostatic hyperplasia to seek active medical treatment at a hospital to prevent discomfort and adverse effects such as sexual dysfunction. For your health, if you experience any discomfort, please seek medical attention promptly to avoid delaying treatment. With advancements in surgical techniques and autopsies, radical surgeries that preserve nerves and blood vessels can enable most patients to fully recover sexual function postoperatively.
