Patient's question:
I have prostatitis and balanitis. I don't know if I can eat dishes with chili peppers.Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis and balanitis require dietary adjustments to avoid spicy and irritating foods, including chili peppers, ginger, garlic, and pepper. It is important to drink plenty of water, urinate frequently, and avoid holding urine. Quit smoking and drinking alcohol, and avoid prolonged sitting. Pay attention to regular and hygienic sexual activity, and maintain clean and dry external genitalia. Prostatitis can be relieved, but the treatment period is usually long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, patients should follow a light diet, avoid foods, and not smoke or drink beer.
