Does alcohol have an effect on the prostate?

Patient's question:

Recently, I've noticed 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. I'd like to ask the doctor if drinking beer has any impact on the prostate?

Doctor's answer:

Drinking beer or eating spicy and irritating foods can alleviate symptoms of prostatitis. When suffering from prostatitis, it is essential to maintain a light diet, avoiding spicy and irritating foods, as well as foods that cause digestive issues. During severe infections, anti-inflammatory medications can be taken to complement the treatment for prostatitis, working together to control the progression of the condition. Finally, wish you a speedy recovery.
