Patient's question:
My husband was diagnosed with prostatitis two years ago due to discomfort in his body, experiencing frequent urination, urgency, pain during urination, and low fever. He has been taking medication and his condition has gradually improved. He had surgery at the hospital a few days ago and is now recovering at home.How should one pay attention to their diet after a transurethral resection of the prostate?
Doctor's answer:
After the surgery, there may still be a recurrence of hematuria (blood in the urine) and symptoms of urinary frequency and dysuria (painful urination). These symptoms are quite noticeable, and at this point, it is advisable to take oral anti-inflammatory medication to prevent reinfection. During this period, avoid drinking beer and consuming spicy foods like chili peppers. This helps prevent the possibility of clinical symptoms worsening. If the symptoms are severe, it is recommended to receive intravenous drip treatment. Oral medication should be taken under the guidance of a local doctor.
