Patient's question:
Recently, I often feel uncomfortable physically and have a weak body. Occasionally, I experience frequent urination. After a thorough medical examination, I found out that I have prostatitis. I would like to consult: What foods can be eaten with prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is divided into bacterial prostatitis and non-bacterial prostatitis. Bacterial prostatitis is mainly caused by bacterial infection, while the causes of non-bacterial prostatitis include overexertion, frequent sexual activity, medication, surgery, and more. Eat more fish, shrimp, lean meat, poultry eggs, and soy products. When cooking, it is best to use methods such as boiling, steaming, baking, and stir-frying, as this can prevent nutritional loss caused by high temperatures. Prostatitis patients should avoid spicy and stimulating foods, beer, and extremely cold foods. This is the most important dietary restriction for prostatitis. It is recommended to eat more fresh green, coarse, and high-fiber foods to produce more urine and maintain smooth bowel movements.
