Patient's question:
Is bacterial prostatitis contagious? How can it be avoided? What are the dietary taboos? Besides spicy foods like scallions, garlic, and chili peppers, what other foods should be avoided? Is garlic sprouts okay? 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 any other food taboos? It's hard to avoid these seasonings in daily life. What can I eat? What should I eat more of? I kindly ask the experts to help answer this.
Additionally, can I drink alcohol in moderation? What kind of alcohol should I consume?
Doctor's answer:
Hello,(1) Avoid drinking strong alcohol, eating spicy, greasy, and sweet foods, and consuming coffee. Also, limit the intake of highly acidic foods such as oranges and orange juice, as well as refined sugar and flour.
(2) Eat more fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and soy products. Consume honey to maintain regular bowel movements, and moderately eat beef and eggs.
(3) Include seed-based foods in your diet, such as pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds, and consume 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 discomfort 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. It is best to drink cool boiled water and limit the consumption of strong tea.
