Patient's question:
A friend's father went to the hospital for a thorough examination and discovered that his prostate had problems again. His family and friends are very worried. So, I'd like to ask on his behalf, what dietary precautions should he take while his father is being treated? For example, what kind of foods are recommended for prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Prostate diseases are a common clinical diagnosis in urology, associated with various factors such as age, chronic inflammatory stimulation, lifestyle, and dietary factors. The vast majority of middle-aged and elderly individuals, whether mildly or severely, suffer from prostate-related issues. While undergoing medication, it is important to pay attention to rest, avoid overexertion, prevent catching colds, avoid prolonged sitting or standing, and reduce sexual frequency. Dietary factors are also crucial: drink plenty of water, consume more fresh vegetables and fruits, and avoid extremely cold or spicy foods. It is best to limit the intake of seasonings like garlic, ginger, and onions. Quit smoking and drinking alcohol.
