Patient's question:
Prostatitis Wikipedia? During urination, there is a pain sensation in the genital area, and the lower abdomen is also uncomfortable. In recent days, nighttime urination has been particularly severe. After a thorough examination at the hospital, the result was diagnosed as prostatitis, and the doctor advised not to drink alcohol. Do patients with prostatitis need to abstain from alcohol?Doctor's answer:
1: Must abstain from alcohol, as alcohol expands blood vessels. Long-term alcohol consumption makes chronic prostatitis difficult to cure, and even if cured, it is very prone to recurrence. Especially for baijiu (strong grain alcohol), this is because the prostate quickly becomes engorged with blood after the body recovers from alcohol. If consumed with pungent foods like garlic, ginger, onions, chili peppers, or chives, the consequences will be even more severe.2: It is best to consult a reputable public hospital in your local area for clear guidance before starting treatment. Prostatitis patients should avoid alcohol, as the type of prostatitis varies, and the reaction to alcohol differs for each type. Therefore, it is advisable not to drink alcohol while the prostatitis has not been fully cured to avoid worsening the condition.
