2. Prostatitis, while not a life-threatening condition,
can significantly impact men's health if left
untreated. Beyond seeking medical intervention,
patients with prostatitis must also be vigilant
about their diet, as certain foods can intensify
inflammation and hinder recovery.

3. Key Dietary Restrictions for
Prostatitis Patients
Spicy Foods: Spicy foods, including mustard, raw ginger, garlic,
and chili, should be consumed in moderation. These can
aggravate the prostate, leading to increased symptoms such as
frequent and urgent urination and a sensation of incomplete
bladder emptying.

4. Alcohol: Alcohol, often consumed in social settings, can accelerate
blood circulation, exacerbating inflammation. This is particularly
detrimental for those with acute prostatitis, as it can trigger
recurrent flare-ups and potentially lead to chronic prostatitis.
Stimulating Foods: According to Traditional Chinese
Medicine, certain "stimulating" foods like pork
head, leeks, and meats from dogs, cows, and sheep
can exacerbate inflammation. Prostatitis patients
should limit these to prevent further prostate
congestion and swelling.

5. Who is at
Higher Risk?

6. Drivers: The habit of holding urine among truck and long-distance
bus drivers can lead to urinary retention, increasing the risk of
bacterial infection due to higher microbial concentration in the
urine.

7. Office Workers: Sedentary lifestyles can impede blood circulation in
the reproductive system, slow metabolism, and affect the excretion
of toxins, potentially leading to prostatitis.
Socializers: Those frequently engaging in
heavy drinking, smoking, and consuming
rich diets are more prone to prostate issues
due to increased risk of bacterial invasion.

8. Prostatitis is manageable and treatable. Early
diagnosis and medical intervention are crucial.
Antibiotics are effective for early-stage
prostatitis, while traditional Chinese medicine,
like Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill, can be
beneficial for chronic cases without adverse
effects.

9. Preventive Measures
for Prostatitis Patients
1. Reduce Irritation: Avoid smoking, alcohol, sedentary habits,
cold exposure, and spicy foods to prevent prostate congestion.
2. Hydration: A daily intake of 2000 milliliters of water helps
flush the urinary tract and prevent irritation from
concentrated urine.

10. 3. Regular Urination: Avoid holding urine for extended periods
to prevent prostate enlargement and inflammation.
4. Loose Clothing: Wearing loose clothing helps reduce the risk
of prostate compression and damage.
5. Regular Check-ups: Men over 50 should undergo annual
prostate-specific antigen screenings to detect early signs of
prostate cancer.
