Patient's question:
Is bacterial prostatitis contagious? How can it be avoided? Are there any dietary restrictions? Besides avoiding spicy foods like garlic, scallions, and chili peppers, what other foods should I avoid? Is scallion 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 restrictions? It's hard to avoid these seasonings in daily life. What can I eat? What should I eat more of? I would appreciate it if the experts could help answer this. Also, can I drink alcohol in moderation? What kind of alcohol should I drink?
Doctor's answer:
Hello,(1) Avoid hard liquor, reduce consumption of spicy, greasy, and sweet foods, limit coffee intake, and eat less acidic foods such as oranges and orange juice. Also, reduce the intake of 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) Consume seed-based foods, such as pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds, daily in any quantity.
(4) Green beans can be cooked into a porridge and eaten at will after cooling. 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. It is best to drink cool boiled water and limit the consumption of strong tea.
