Patient's question:
Hello doctor. I have a bit of prostatitis, not very serious, and I'm not really keen on going to the hospital to see. It's better to manage it at home. I heard that dietary therapy is also quite effective. Could you please tell me if prostatitis can be treated with dietary therapy? How long does dietary therapy usually take to work?Doctor's answer:
If you have mild prostatitis that is not too severe, it is also necessary to go to the hospital to determine the type of inflammation and take medication accordingly. You cannot ignore medication just because it is mild. Although dietary therapy can be implemented, it is only an auxiliary treatment method. It is even more important to identify the factors that lead to prostatitis, especially to prevent prolonged sitting and holding urine. You should pay attention to having a regular sexual life and avoid excessive frequency. Additionally, you need to quit smoking and drinking, and exercise moderately. In daily life, pay attention to drinking more water, urinating frequently, eating more fruits and vegetables, and reducing the intake of spicy and greasy foods.
