After the Dragon Boat Festival, some people end up consuming zongzi for days due to an excess in production or purchase. However, urologists warn that this dietary habit can be detrimental, especially for men prone to prostatitis. Excessive consumption of oily, spicy foods during the hot weather post-festival can trigger inflammation reactions, commonly affecting young to middle-aged men. Symptoms include frequent or urgent urination, nocturia, urinary burning sensation, pain, itching, and at times, white discharge. To prevent prostatitis, suggestions include opting for low-oil and low-salt zongzi, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, adequate hydration, avoiding prolonged sitting, and promptly seeking medical advice for any unusual symptoms.
