Patient's question:
My father is 73 years old this year. He has been experiencing pain during urination. A few weeks ago, he underwent a thorough examination here and was diagnosed with prostatitis. Later, he took medication and received intravenous fluids, which slightly alleviated the symptoms, but they did not completely disappear. How can he recover quickly? What foods should he eat for the treatment and attention of prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) offers effective treatment for prostatitis. During home treatment, it is recommended to combine oral Chinese herbal medicine with the Chinese patent medicine Xianlie Long Qian'an Tong capsules. These capsules are safe, have no side effects, and address both the symptoms and root causes of the condition.Dietary considerations include avoiding strong alcohol, reducing the intake of spicy, greasy, and sweet foods, limiting coffee consumption, and minimizing foods high in acidity such as citrus fruits and orange juice. Additionally, reduce the consumption of refined sugar and white flour. Instead, focus on eating fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and soy products. Consuming honey regularly can help maintain bowel regularity, and adequate amounts of beef and eggs are beneficial.
For seed-based foods, options like pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds can be eaten daily in any quantity. Green beans can be cooked into a porridge, cooled, and consumed as desired. This is particularly suitable for individuals with heat in the bladder, who experience difficulty urinating or a burning sensation.
It is important not to increase fluid intake due to frequent urination, as drinking more water can help dissolve urine.
