Summer is a high incidence period of prostatitis for men. Hot weather, long sitting hours, holding urine, and emotional irritability can all cause prostatitis.
In summer, men can eat more fruits and vegetables such as grapes, kiwifruit, and balsam pear, which can effectively cooperate with drugs to prevent and treat diseases such as prostatitis.
Grape: It has the functions of tonifying qi and blood, promoting fluid production, strengthening the spleen, appetizing, diuresis, and detumescence. Take 250 grams of fresh grapes, peel, pit, and mash them, then add an appropriate amount of warm water to drink and take it 1-2 times a day for two weeks. This can treat prostatitis and astringent urination.

Balsam pear: Rich in vitamin C, it has the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, promoting diuresis, relieving fatigue, clearing the heart, brightening the eyes, and benefiting qi and yang. Bitter gourd can treat prostatitis and urinary tract infections, and can be eaten cold or stir-fried.
Many men don't like eating fruit very much, but this fruit therapy is actually more suitable for adolescent prostatitis patients. Zhao Guofu said that patients with chronic prostatitis in adolescence are generally children aged 14 to 18 years old. The causes of the disease are often due to excessive mental pressure causing pelvic floor dysfunction, which increases prostate and urethral pressure, leading to urinary reflux and difficulty in urination.
Zhao Guofu said that there is generally no bacterial infection or leukocytosis in adolescent chronic prostatitis, so psychological, physical, and traditional Chinese medicine treatment based on syndrome differentiation, fruit diet, etc. are often used to treat this disease. If bacterial infections are detected, antibiotics should be used reasonably under the guidance of a doctor.
