Do I need to avoid food after contracting an STD? What kind of food is beneficial to the recovery of sexually transmitted diseases? This is something every STD patient would like to know.

In short, sexually transmitted diseases are infectious diseases, not allergies or immune diseases, and there are no special taboos. For example, syphilis has no special dietary taboos; but for gonorrhea and non-gonococcal urethritis, due to symptoms of bladder and urethra irritation, it is not advisable to drink alcohol or eat spicy food. For example, the symptoms can be aggravated after drinking alcohol or eating spicy food.

Generally speaking, the diet should be light. Foods with diuretic and detoxifying effects such as winter melon, watermelon, lentils, adzuki beans, and mung beans are helpful for the recovery of sexually transmitted diseases.
