What should I do if I have black stools after taking medication for prostatitis?

Patient's question:

Okay, here is the translation following your instructions:
It's just that after taking the medicine, I had black poop! And it smelled really bad! Not eating it is the opposite!

Doctor's answer:

After taking the medicine, the stool turned black, which is likely related to the medication. This is nothing to worry about; it will gradually and completely return to normal after stopping the medication. It is recommended to follow a light diet, avoid extremely cold, greasy, spicy, and other irritating foods, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and drink plenty of water. Prostatitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek medical attention immediately at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on the results of a thorough examination. Additionally, it is important to limit sexual activity and maintain a positive mood.
