Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing frequent urination urgency and a stinging sensation. After a thorough check-up, it was found to be prostatitis. I'd like to ask, what foods are best for men with prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
A diet for male prostatitis should emphasize foods rich in melanin content, such as black beans, black rice, black sesame seeds, walnuts, black fungus, etc. Animal meats, eggs, bone marrow, black sesame seeds, cherries, mulberries, and Chinese yam also have varying degrees of efficacy. Lycopene in tomatoes can help remove free radicals in the prostate. Pumpkin seed oil contains carotenoids and omega-3 fatty acids, which can prevent fibrosis of prostate cells. Foods like seafood, which are considered "heating" in traditional Chinese medicine, can easily exacerbate the condition, so it is advisable to consume lighter, easily digestible, and nutritious foods instead. Regular exercise, following medical advice, and periodic check-ups to monitor treatment effectiveness are all helpful in fully restoring your health.
