Patient's question:
I have been frequently urinating recently and often feel itching and a stinging sensation. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said I have prostatitis. Besides medication, I would like to know what foods are good for prostatitis patients in terms of diet?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis patients can eat more apples, as consuming more apples greatly assists in the treatment of prostatitis. They can also eat more soy products, coarse grains, fresh vegetables, and fruits high in lycopene, as well as nuts like walnuts and sunflower seeds. Pay attention to personal hygiene, drink more water, and stay active. Avoid sitting for long periods, holding in urine, and staying up late to prevent overexertion. Additionally, maintain a light diet, avoid smoking and alcohol, and avoid spicy and irritating foods, which can help alleviate symptoms. Prostatitis can be relieved, but the treatment process is generally slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment.
