Patient's question:
I am 40 years old and have recently discovered pain when urinating and abnormal urination. Two years ago, I was diagnosed with prostatitis, and I have been experiencing general fatigue and lack of energy. What are some dietary methods for managing prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for prostatitis cannot be fully resolved solely through medication; dietary therapy must be added. Once prostatitis becomes inflamed, it leads to obstruction of the prostate ducts, causing the prostate to swell and affecting the sexual nerves surrounding it. Therefore, timely treatment is essential. Currently, dietary therapy methods include:Pumpkin seeds as snacks, and regularly consuming Astragalus and Codonopsis Decoction, Osmanthus Porridge, peeled apricot kernels, pitted pear slices, and stoneell together with plantain and knotweed, cooked with water, and served chilled as a herbal tea. Additionally, diuretic cucumber-grape juice, lotus root juice, and prepared Rehmannia glutinosa juice are suitable for prostatitis and conditions of difficult urination.
