Patient's question:
My friend has been feeling unwell recently and went to the hospital for a thorough check-up. The doctor said they have prostatitis. I wanted to ask you if it's okay to eat onions with prostatitis.Doctor's answer:
Onions have a pungent and irritating effect. It is not recommended for patients with prostatitis to eat onions as they may trigger inflammatory symptoms. However, during this period, it is essential to pay attention to diet and keep it light. Restricting sexual activity and maintaining regular sexual life can help reduce prostatic congestion and edema, contributing to prostate health. Always keep the external genitalia and perineum clean to prevent infection. Drink plenty of water and urinate frequently, regularly cleaning the urethra with urine.
