Can men with prostatitis drink green tea?

Patient's question:

I recently don't know why my lower abdomen is very uncomfortable, and I also don't get morning erections anymore. Can I drink green tea if I have prostatitis?

Doctor's answer:

Patients with prostatitis can drink green tea, as green tea has the effect of clearing heat and relieving dryness. However, green tea should not be consumed for a long time. It is recommended to drink a lot of plain water daily. Patients with prostatitis should eat more easily digestible foods in their diet and avoid consuming too many spicy and irritating foods, such as fermented tofu, scallions, ginger, garlic, and chili peppers. Tea lovers can also combine Chinese herbal medicine, such as Jin Qian Cao (), to brew tea and consume it.
