Can Prostatitis Patients Take Seafood? Be Careful!

Prostatitis refers to prostate diseases caused by various complicated causes, with urinary tract irritation and chronic pelvic pain as the main clinical manifestations, and is a common disease in urology.

Prostatitis patients should pay attention to the everyday diet, so as not to eat inappropriate foods to aggravate the condition. Liang Donghui, chief physician of TCM doctor at Zhujiang Hospital of Southern Medical University, said that because of the close relationship between prostate and zinc, patients should eat less zinc-rich foods such as seafood.

Excessive eating of seafood induces prostatitis

Because zinc has a "close relationship" with the prostate, seafood has a high zinc content as well as a high protein content. Moreover, the proteins of shellfish (such as buttercups, fresh shellfish, etc.) and crustaceans (such as shrimps and crabs) are mostly heterologous preteins, which may cause skin allergies to people with allergic constitution.

Excessive consumption will stimulate the disease, auses tissue congestion and edema, aggravating the inflammatory response of the prostate. In addition, seafood, especially shellfish, generally contains a lot of strontium, which is decomposed to produce uric acid. Therefore, the increase of uric acid in the blood may also be one of the causes of prostatitis.

Based on the above two points, even if seafood is rich in zinc, it will cause more problems while supplementing zinc, which is not worth the candle. This is also the reason why patients with prostatitis should not eat seafood.

How to treat prostatitis
