Patient's question:
I have prostatitis for more than 4 years. A few days ago, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and was told that I have benign prostatic hyperplasia. The symptoms I usually experience are frequent urination, urgency to urinate, and incomplete urination, in addition to impotence and premature ejaculation. I have tried some methods for treatment, but they only provided me with temporary relief, and the symptoms would return after a while. What foods should I avoid with these symptoms?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis patients should avoid drinking beer: Alcohol is a beverage that promotes blood vessel dilation. Alcohol can cause internal organs to become flushed, and the prostate is no exception. Due to some young and middle-aged individuals' habits of long-term drinking or even drug use, chronic prostatitis is difficult to cure, and even if cured, it is very prone to recurrence. Therefore, patients with prostatitis should strictly abstain from alcohol. Prostatitis patients should also avoid smoking: Cigarettes are harmful to health. The toxic substances in cigarettes, such as nicotine, tar, nitrosamines, and carbon monoxide, not only directly poison prostate tissue.
