Patient's question:
During this time, I was diagnosed with prostatitis, and this has affected my normal life. During this period, I took some medication, but I didn't get much effect. I'm very worried and wanted to ask an expert here. Is prostatitis serious?Doctor's answer:
This can be addressed through medication or traditional Chinese medicine decoctions for nourishment. You have already taken some medication, and it's important to pay attention to complete recovery in the later stages, which is greatly related to diet. Control your meal intake to about seven or eight parts fullness, and aim to have fewer than two bowel movements daily. In addition to medication, what's even more important is to quit drinking alcohol promptly and control your food intake. Avoid spicy foods, as obesity can lead to prolonged lipid decomposition and metabolism in the body. Fatty foods can affect the cleaning and discharge function of the prostate, potentially causing endocrine dysfunction of the prostate. Eating more apples, or apple juice, is even more effective. They are safe, easy to supplement, and have refining properties. You can also consume some melon seed, sunflower seeds, or pine nut kernels, all of which are beneficial for the prostate.
