Patient's question:
Medical Description: I am 21 years old, and I have a very short sexual history, which might be due to excessive masturbation. I have weak ejaculation and little force when urinating. I went for a check-up, and the doctor said I have prostatitis. He mentioned that I can have sexual activity during the treatment. I asked if I can eat ginger, scallions, and garlic. He said I can, but I should avoid alcohol and eat spicy food less. Many doctors say that ginger, scallions, and garlic should not be eaten. Can doctors really eat them?

Doctor's answer:
Medical Analysis: Hello; it is advisable to avoid spicy foods, consume alcohol in moderation, avoid prolonged sitting, drink plenty of water, and avoid frequent sexual activity. Sexual activity should be controlled to about once a week to prevent aggravating the condition.Suggestions: Hello; the preservation of prostatitis should focus on a light, easily digestible diet, with an emphasis on vegetables and fruits while minimizing spicy and stimulating foods. Quit smoking and drinking to reduce the chances of prostate congestion. If possible, consume more pumpkin seeds, and cook tomatoes with eggs to improve digestibility. Maintain a normal sex life according to individual circumstances, avoiding both overindulgence and abstinence. Avoid holding urine for long periods and promptly treat urinary and genital infections.
