Can I still eat spicy food if I have prostate cancer? Dietary taboos for prostate cancer patients

No matter what disease you have, there will be certain dietary taboos, especially for some malignant diseases, you must pay more attention to abstaining from food.

1. High-calorie food: This is one of the foods that patients with prostatitis cancer should avoid eating, because it is not good for prostate cancer. It will cause certain stimulation to cancer cells, thereby accelerating the mitosis of cancer cells, leading to faster cell proliferation, and finally aggravating the condition.

2. Spicy and stimulating foods: There are many such foods, such as alcohol, coffee, garlic, pepper, chili, etc. These foods can stimulate prostate congestion, thereby affecting normal urination, aggravating prostate symptoms, and are not conducive to the treatment of prostate cancer.

3. Irritating foods: Because prostate disease is very sensitive to irritating foods, some prostate cancer patients experience temporary urinary obstruction after eating irritating foods. This is mainly because irritating foods can stimulate the body after entering the human body, causing congestion and edema of the prostate, and finally compressing the urethra, resulting in urinary obstruction. Therefore, prostate cancer patients should avoid eating irritating foods, such as dog meat, mutton, pork head, leeks, etc.

4. Raw and cold food: When the human body eats raw and cold food, it will bring a certain cold stimulation to the body, which can cause the prostate to shrink and cause adverse urine circulation. In addition, it is not conducive to the treatment and recovery of prostate cancer, so it is recommended that prostate cancer patients do not use frozen drinks, cold foods, etc.
