What is the dietary therapy for benign prostatic hyperplasia?

Patient's question:

I am a patient with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). I have had BPH for over a year. Usually, I feel fine, but after entering winter, my symptoms seem to have improved. I often feel like I can't urinate completely. Currently, I am taking medication for treatment. What is the dietary therapy for BPH?

Doctor's answer:

Considering it may be benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), the current treatment for BPH is to decide on transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) to expand the urethra in the prostate region. This helps alleviate urinary obstruction. It is important to pay attention to a light diet, eat less spicy and irritating foods, avoid drinking beer as much as possible, drink an appropriate amount of water, eat more vegetables, engage in outdoor exercise regularly, and have regular follow-up examinations. The above information can be used for reference.
