Patient's question:
Is bacterial prostatitis contagious? How can it be avoided? Are there any dietary restrictions? Besides spicy foods like scallions, garlic, and chili peppers, what other foods should be avoided? Is garlic leaves considered one? Can I eat beef and lamb? Can I drink milk? Can I eat dog meat?Follow-up question: In addition to what I mentioned above, are there other food restrictions? These seasonings are hard to avoid in daily life. What can I eat? What should I eat more of? Please help me answer this question.
Additionally, can I drink alcohol in moderation? What kind of alcohol should I consume?
Doctor's answer:
Hello,(1) Avoid hard liquor, reduce consumption of spicy, greasy, and sweet foods, limit coffee intake, and eat less acidic foods like oranges and orange juice. Also, consume less refined sugar and white flour.
(2) Eat more fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and soy products. Consume honey to maintain regular bowel movements, and eat beef and eggs in moderation.
(3) Include seed-based foods in your diet, such as pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds, and eat them daily in any quantity.
(4) Green beans can be cooked into a porridge and eaten at room temperature. This is especially beneficial for those with heat in the bladder, experiencing difficulty urinating, or pain during urination.
(5) Do not reduce water intake due to frequent urination. Drinking more water can dilute urine, preventing urinary tract infections and the formation of bladder stones. Cool boiled water is the best choice for drinking, and limit the consumption of strong tea.
