Patient's question:
I am 50 years old this year. A few days ago, I felt unwell and went to the hospital for a thorough check-up. It was found that I have prostatitis. They said I should pay attention to my diet, but I don't know if it's okay to eat onions with prostatitis. So, I wanted to ask you if it's okay to eat onions with prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it's okay to eat onions if you have prostatitis. Onions have antibacterial properties, so you can eat them with peace of mind. If you have prostatitis, avoid spicy and stimulating foods in your diet, and do not drink beer or smoke. You can consume some heat-clearing and detoxifying foods, such as bitter melon, cat's ear greens, lotus root, etc. Additionally, keep track of your sexual activity—maintain a frequency of at least three times a week, but avoid excessive sexual intercourse.
