Patient's question:
Doctor, I would like to consult if I can eat yam with prostatitis. A few weeks ago, I experienced frequent urination, urgency, incomplete urination, and intermittent premature ejaculation. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said I have severe prostatitis. He prescribed some medication for me, but I really love eating yam, so I wanted to consult.Doctor's answer:
You were diagnosed with prostatitis after visiting the hospital due to symptoms such as frequent urination, urgent urination, and incomplete urination. Prostatitis patients can eat yam. Yam is a medicinal and edible food that tonifies the spleen and stomach. It can enhance the absorption and transformation functions of the spleen and stomach. For treating prostatitis, it should still be helpful because it has the effect of tonifying the kidneys. Prostatitis patients should pay attention to avoiding spicy and irritating foods in their diet.
