Does alcohol have an impact on the prostate?

Patient's question:

Recently, I've felt that I and my wife easily lose our erection during intimacy, and sometimes it even causes pain. I suspect that my thyroid might be having problems again. I remember I used to enjoy drinking beer a lot, so I'd like to ask the doctor if drinking beer has any effect on the prostate?

Doctor's answer:

Drinking beer or eating spicy and irritating foods can alleviate symptoms of prostatitis. If you have prostatitis, you must pay attention to a light diet and avoid spicy and irritating foods, as well as foods that cause stomach upset. During severe infections, you can take anti-inflammatory medication to complement the treatment for prostatitis, working together to control the progression of the condition. Finally, I wish you a speedy recovery.
