Dietary problems in patients with prostatitis

The main dietary taboos for prostatitis are:

1. Patients with prostatitis cannot smoke or drink. Patients may know that smoking can cause impotence, but they do not know that smoking can also increase prostate congestion, thereby aggravating the symptoms of acute and chronic prostatitis. Drinking can dilate organ blood vessels and increase blood perfusion, thus aggravating prostate congestion and causing recurrence of cured prostatitis.

2. People with prostatitis cannot eat spicy food: scallions, raw garlic, chili peppers, pepper and other irritating foods, although they can increase the taste of dishes, they can also cause blood vessel dilation and organ congestion. For patients with prostatitis, these foods cannot be eaten, otherwise it will cause prostatitis to be prolonged and difficult to cure.

3. Some meats cannot be eaten by patients with prostatitis: dog, beef, mutton, seafood, etc. These meats are considered to be delicacies that can enhance virility and vitality. However, Chinese medicine believes that prostatitis is caused by dampness, so if drugs that enhance virility are used to promote urination, their effects may not be as expected. In addition, after years of clinical observation, eating the above-mentioned meats can often lead to worsening of the disease.

4. For prostate hyperplasia, rich, spicy and sweet foods can easily cause endogenous dampness and heat and inhibit the circulation of qi and blood. Therefore, elderly people with prostate hyperplasia should pay attention to a light diet.
