The prostate is one of the male genitourinary organs, which
is located in the pelvic cavity and close to the bladder neck
mouth. Its main functions include secreting prostatic fluid
and controlling the number of urination. The prostate,
which has been called "the unique lifeline of men", shows
the importance of the prostate to men. Maintaining a
healthy prostate gland has also become the preferred way
for men to keep fit.

However, in daily life, many male friends develop bad
behavior habits, which will cause certain damage to the
prostate. For example, staying up late for long periods,
being sedentary, smoking, and drinking alcohol can
damage the prostate. Therefore, we should pay attention
to the timely correction of bad habits. Of course, we
should also pay attention to our diets.

Is "garlic"
stimulating
for prostatitis?

Garlic is a usual kind of food for every family. It is a
common condiment and has anti-inflammatory and
bactericidal effects. Some say, "A garlic a day and
diseases go away," and others say, "Meat without garlic
tastes half as good ."Examples like these are many. People
who like to eat garlic cannot eat their meals without
garlic.

Although the taste of garlic is unique, its nutritional value
is high. Garlic is spicy and stimulating food that contains
rich allicin, dietary fiber, vitamin C, vitamin E, a famous
antioxidant, and other components.

Eating garlic regularly can enhance the body's resistance
and immunity and prevent cancer to a certain extent.
However, some people believe that garlic is spicy and
stimulating, and eating garlic frequently will stimulate the
prostate and aggravate the disease.

This statement, honestly, sounds a little one-sided.
Although garlic is a specific stimulation, garlic is believed
to have anti-inflammatory and bactericide effects.
Thus, men with prostatitis regularly eating garlic will not
aggravate the disease. The fact is, eating garlic may even
have specific improvement of the condition.

Even so, it is recommended that people eat garlic in
moderation. Every coin has two sides. Excessive consumption
of garlic will also bring certain safety risks to the body. The
spicy and pungent garlic will lead to vasodilatation when
people eat it too often or for a long time. In such cases, the
resistance of the prostate might be reduced. Worse still, the
bacteria and germs near the prostate might breed, proliferate
and induce acute prostatitis.

So, no matter how much one likes a particular food, one
should eat it in moderation. Diseases come in at the
mouth. Some diseases can be prevented by controlling
how and what one eats.

If prostatitis has been diagnosed, patients need to take
the right treatment, mainly medication. In addition to
antibiotics, traditional Chinese medicine Diuretic and
Anti-inflammatory Pill can eliminate all symptoms
associated with prostatitis in patients without causing
harm to the body.

Other treatments, such as prostate massage, biofeedback
therapy, and hyperthermia, are also effective.
Now there are more and more patients diagnosed with
prostate disease. It is advised that men should protect the
prostate in daily life.

disease.

periods can increase the plant estrogen inside the body,

rich in vitamin C and various nutrients the human body
