Patient's question:
What chronic prostatitis patients should not eat?Doctor's answer:
Alcohol is a beverage that causes vasodilation. Due to some young and middle-aged people having long-term drinking habits, even alcoholism, chronic prostatitis is difficult to cure, and even if it is cured, it is very easy to recur. This is the reason why alcohol should be avoided.Smoking is harmful to human health. Harmful substances in cigarettes, such as tar, ammonia, nitrites, and carbon monoxide, not only directly poison the prostate tissue but also interfere with the nerve function that controls blood vessels, affecting blood circulation in the prostate and exacerbating congestion.
Spicy foods. Some patients with chronic prostatitis have a habit of eating spicy food. They often restrain themselves when symptoms are severe but revert to their old ways when symptoms subside. This is also an important reason why prostatitis is difficult to treat.
In summary, to avoid long-term and repeated chronic congestion of the prostate tissue, it is necessary to avoid smoking and drinking and to abstain from spicy foods.
