Hlín Patients with prostatitis are generally not recommended to consume spicy foods, alcoholic beverages, high-fat foods, caffeinated beverages, and high-salt foods. Prostatitis may be related to factors such as infection and immune abnormalities. It usually presents with symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and perineal discomfort. It needs to be treated with dietary adjustments.
1. Spicy and stimulating food
Spicy foods such as chili pepper, Sichuan peppercorns, and mustard may stimulate congestion and edema of the prostate, aggravating symptoms such as frequent urination and painful urination. Patients with acute bacterial prostatitis should especially avoid it to avoid exacerbation of the inflammatory response. On a daily basis, you can choose lightly cooked vegetables, porridge and other easily digestible foods.
2. Alcoholic beverages
Alcoholic beverages such as beer and liquor can dilate blood vessels, cause prostate congestion and reduce local immunity. Patients with chronic non-bacterial prostatitis are prone to perineal swelling and pain after drinking alcohol. It is recommended to replace it with warm water and light tea to help dilute urine and promote metabolism.
3. High-fat foods
High-fat diets such as fried foods and fatty meats may promote the release of inflammatory factors in the body and affect the recovery of prostatitis. Such foods may also cause constipation and indirectly increase pelvic pressure. It is more appropriate to choose low-fat and high-quality protein such as steamed fish and chicken breast in moderation.
4. Caffeine drinks
The caffeine in coffee and strong tea has a diuretic effect, which may aggravate the symptoms of frequent urination and irritate the bladder mucosa. Some patients will experience increased nocturia after drinking it, affecting their sleep quality. It is recommended that daily caffeine intake should not exceed 200 mg, or switch to mild drinks such as flower and fruit tea.
5. High-salt foods
High-salt foods such as pickled foods and processed meats will increase urine sodium concentration and may irritate the urinary tract mucosa. Long-term high-salt diet is also associated with increased blood pressure and may aggravate pelvic blood circulation disorders. Spices can be used instead of salt when cooking, and the daily salt intake should be controlled within 5 grams.
In addition to adjusting their diet, patients with prostatitis need to avoid bad habits such as sitting for long periods of time and holding in urine, and maintain a daily drinking volume of 1500-2000 ml of water. You can do moderate exercise such as brisk walking and swimming to promote pelvic blood circulation. If symptoms such as fever and hematuria occur or the symptoms persist or are not relieved, you should seek medical advice from a urology department in time. If necessary, follow the doctor's instructions and use Tamsulosin Hydrochloride Sustained-release Tablets, Qianlieshutong Capsules and other drugs for treatment.
