Patient's question:
My husband has been experiencing pain during intimacy with me for the past few days, along with soreness in his lower back. He feels a bit weak and exhausted. After a thorough examination, it was discovered that he has benign prostatic hyperplasia and acute prostatitis. I would like to understand what foods are beneficial for treating acute prostatitis and benign prostatic hyperplasia.Doctor's answer:
First, benign prostatic hyperplasia is caused by long-term inflammation stimulating the prostate area, leading to hypertrophic manifestations. If you currently have acute prostatitis, it may be triggered by an acute recurrence of inflammation, resulting in symptoms such as pain and discomfort during intercourse. Currently, it is necessary to first treat acute prostatitis with anti-inflammatory measures. For example, you can follow your doctor's advice to take anti-inflammatory medication for treatment. In terms of diet, it is recommended to eat a light diet and avoid frequent sexual activity and prolonged sitting. Prostatitis is prone to recurring.
