Patient's question:
Last year, I was diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia. Suddenly, I've noticed an increase in urination frequency, incontinence, and I'm afraid to have sex. Sitting for a long time always leaves me with a feeling of fullness. Erection but not firm, please help me, doctor.Doctor's answer:
In daily life, eat less spicy foods like chili peppers; drink alcohol moderately and have a restrained sexual life; reduce the occurrence of constipation. Every morning, you should drink a glass of warm plain water on an empty stomach. It can prevent constipation, dilute blood, and produce a mechanical flushing effect on the urethra, preventing residual urine from concentrating and forming stones.Older adults should avoid excessive intake of animal fats. Taking vitamins A, C, and E in moderation, along with green tea and soy products, can effectively prevent prostate diseases.
Traditional Chinese Medicine has always emphasized the role of diet in the occurrence and development of diseases, and this is no exception for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). If you have a habit of eating spicy and greasy foods, it can lead to internal damp-heat, which over time may obstruct the smooth flow of Qi and accelerate the formation of blood stasis. Damp-heat flowing downward can naturally worsen the symptoms of the disease.
Traditional Chinese Medicine experts remind patients with BPH that paying attention to diet can effectively prevent male prostate diseases. Dietary regulation is also very important for the recovery of the disease. In the treatment of BPH, taking Chinese medicine diuretic and anti-inflammatory pills can be effective. It has functions such as killing bacteria and inflammation, promoting blood circulation to remove stasis, and diuretic and urinary relief, all of which provide excellent therapeutic effects.
