Patient's question:
My father had a thorough examination last month and was diagnosed with prostatitis. The doctor advised my father to pay attention to his diet. Today, my mother cooked two dishes of onions and some small greens. I remember the doctor mentioned that onions should not be eaten, but I'm not quite sure. I would like to consult the doctor to see if it's okay to eat onions with prostatitis.Doctor's answer:
Onions are pungent and irritating foods, and it is not recommended for patients with prostatitis to eat them, as they can worsen inflammation symptoms, leading to urgency, frequency, and pain during urination. During this period, it is important to pay attention to dietary flavors and opt for lighter, healthier options, such as eating more vegetables and fruits to digest vitamins. Drinking warm water in moderation can also help boost the body's metabolic processes. Avoid staying up late and overexerting yourself. Prostatitis can be relieved, but the treatment period is usually long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after recovery. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible!
