Patient's question:
I got prostatitis two years ago. Because I felt this disease was quite private, I was afraid of being known and laughed at by others. Now only my family knows. Today, my friend called and said he wanted to take me out for seafood. Doctor, can people with prostatitis eat seafood?Doctor's answer:
Patients with prostatitis should not eat seafood. They should maintain a light diet. Seafood is considered an irritant, and consuming it can exacerbate symptoms of prostatitis, leading to frequent urination, urgency, and dysuria. Patients with prostatitis should drink more water and urinate more frequently. They should avoid prolonged sitting and engage in more physical activity and exercise, such as practicing Tai Chi, which can enhance their physical fitness.
