2. During a warm family gathering, as delicious food and wine filled the table, a middle-aged man hesitated amidst the lively atmosphere. He was grappling with chronic prostatitis and, faced with the temptation of wine, felt conflicted. His hesitation mirrors the reality for many who suffer from this condition.

3. A common question among them is: "Can I drink alcohol? If so, how should I drink, and what should I choose?"

4. Chronic prostatitis is an insidious ailment that affects the health of many middle-aged and older men, bringing not only physical discomfort but also a psychological burden. Treatment methods vary and include medication, physical therapy, and lifestyle changes. Drug therapy often involves antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, and analgesics to alleviate inflammation and pain. In addition to Western medicine, traditional Chinese medicine is also widely used.

5. Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill , a traditional Chinese medicine, offers diuretic, detoxifying, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial effects. It can effectively alleviate symptoms such as frequent and urgent urination, helping patients regain their health.

6. In managing chronic prostatitis, dietary habits—especially alcohol consumption—are a frequent topic of discussion between patients and doctors. Proper drinking habits can help patients better manage the disease and improve their quality of life.

7. The Risks of Alcohol Consumption for Chronic Prostatitis Patients: When Alcohol Meets Inflammation 1. Aggravation of Inflammation:
- Alcohol increases levels of inflammatory cytokines in the body, playing a crucial role in the development of chronic prostatitis. This heightened inflammatory response can worsen symptoms like difficulty urinating and pain in the perineal and lower abdominal areas.

8. 2. Hormonal Imbalance: - Alcohol disrupts the normal production and regulation of hormones, including those affecting prostate health. This imbalance can exacerbate prostatitis symptoms.

9. 3. Immune System Suppression: - Long-term alcohol consumption can weaken the immune system, reducing the body's resistance to infections. For chronic prostatitis patients, this means a higher risk of recurrent infections and increased difficulty in recovery. 4. Dehydration: - Alcohol is a diuretic, leading to dehydration and increased urine concentration, which can exacerbate prostate inflammation.

10. How to Drink Safely (If Necessary) For chronic prostatitis patients, alcohol is not an absolute taboo, but it requires adherence to certain key principles to minimize its negative impact on health.

11. Key Principle 1: Control Quantity Alcohol consumption should be strictly controlled. The recommended intake should not exceed one drink per day for men (equivalent to about 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of spirits). This helps reduce potential harm to the prostate and overall health.

12. Key Principle 2: Limit Frequency The frequency of alcohol consumption should be limited. Avoid making drinking a daily habit, and restrict intake to as few days per week as possible.

13. Key Principle 3: Timing of Consumption Choose to drink when eating healthily and feeling physically well. Avoid drinking when taking medication or feeling unwell to prevent adverse reactions between alcohol and medication or exacerbation of health problems.

14. Recommended Drink Choices Red Wine: A Friendly Choice Red wine is considered a healthier alcoholic beverage due to its high content of antioxidants, such as resveratrol, which positively affects prostate health and helps reduce inflammation. It is recommended to choose dry red wine and consume it within safe limits.

15. Beer: Control the Quantity While beer has a relatively low alcohol content, its larger volume can lead to excessive intake. Choose low-alcohol beer and strictly control the amount consumed.

16. Spirits: Handle with Care Spirits have a high concentration of alcohol, and even small amounts can significantly impact prostate health. If choosing to drink spirits, strictly limit the intake and dilute them as much as possible before consumption.
