Patient's question:
I have been feeling lower back pain frequently for the past half month, even though I haven't done much work every day. After a thorough examination at the hospital, the doctor said I have prostatitis and need to take medication for a period of time. When I came home, my wife cooked chicken. I wanted to understand if it's okay to eat chicken with prostatitis.Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is a common urological disease in clinical diagnosis, with main symptoms including frequent urination, urgency, and sexual dysfunction. The diet for prostatitis patients should be light and rich in nutrition, emphasizing foods high in protein, iron, and zinc, as well as chicken. It is recommended to quit smoking and drinking, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and stop masturbation. Prolonged sitting should also be avoided. For prostatitis patients, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely medication treatment and pay attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
