Patient's question:
I sometimes urinate frequently, but the amount is not much, just a little bit. I really enjoy it, and I have also had a thorough check-up at the hospital, which said I have prostatitis. However, due to the nature of my job, I have to drink beer at dinner every day. I want to know what the effects of drinking beer are for people with prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, a small amount of alcohol consumption can have some mild effects on promoting blood circulation and diuresis, and it may have a certain stabilizing effect on benign prostatic hyperplasia. However, excessive alcohol consumption can slow down blood circulation, causing congestion in the prostate, which may lead to symptom relief and be beneficial for treatment. The harmful substances contained in alcohol can damage the human immune system, leading to a decrease in immune function and creating opportunities for bacteria and many microorganisms to thrive. At the same time, it may also be beneficial for the treatment of the prostate.3. Quit smoking and drinking, and avoid overexertion in daily life. Pay attention to personal hygiene.
