Daily Question: Can Eating Seafood Cause Prostatitis?

Prostatitis refers to the prostate disease caused by a variety of complex reasons. Prostatic disease with urethral irritation and chronic pelvic pain as the main clinical manifestations is a common disease in urology. Patients with prostatitis should pay attention to daily diet, so as to avoid aggravating the disease due to some improper foods.

Can eating seafood cause prostatitis?

First of all, you should know that there is a close relationship between the prostate gland and zinc. Seafood is high in zinc and quite high in protein. Moreover, the proteins of shellfish and crustaceans are heterologous, which can lead to skin allergies for some people with allergic constitution. In some cases, excessive consumption of seafood can stimulate the body, causing tissue congestion and edema, aggravating the inflammatory response of the prostate gland.

In addition, seafood, especially seashells, generally contains a lot of purines, which can produce uric acid after decomposition. Therefore, increased uric acid in the blood may also be one of the causes of prostatitis. Based on these two points, even if seafood is rich in zinc, it can also lead to other problems related to prostatitis. Clearly, the loss outweights the gain. This is also why it has been suggested that patients with prostatitis should not eat seafood.

Matters Needing Attention -- Dietary taboos for prostatitis.

1.Patients with prostatitis can not smoke or drink alcohol. Patients may understand that smoking can cause impotence, but do not know that it can also increase prostate congestion, thereby exacerbating the symptoms of acute and chronic prostatitis. On the flip side, drinking alcohol can expand viscera blood vessels, increase the perfusion quantity of blood, and lead to congestion of prostate gland, thus leading to repeated attacks of prostatitis.

2. Patients with prostatitis should not eat spicy food. Even though scallion, raw garlic, pepper, and other irritating ingredients can increase the taste of dishes, they can also cause blood vessel dilation and organ congestion to some extent. For patients with prostatitis, these foods should be avoided as far as possible, otherwise it will make prostatitis prolonged and difficult to cure.

Recommended foods for men with prostate problems.

1. Nuts. They are rich in selenium, a micronutrient that is good for prostate health.

2. Broccoli. It contains high amounts of the anticancer phytonutrients sulforaphane and indole, which may reduce the risk of prostate cancer.

3. Tomatoes. It is high in the powerful antioxidant lycopene, which is known to improve prostate health.

4. Pumpkin seeds. Commonly, pumpkin seed oil prevents prostate cells from proliferating, which also contains carotenoids and omega-3 fatty acids, which may reduce the risk of prostate cancer. The zinc in pumpkin seeds is also good for prostate health.

Generally speaking, for patients with prostatitis, eating healthy food is important but can not help them solve the disease completely. Usually, patients can take the herbal medicine Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill to better solve the prostatitis, which can effectively disperse inflammation and improve the urinary health. More importantly, it leads no harm to patients. For patients with chronic prostatitis, they can take the medicine for a long period of time to achieve a complete cure.
