What kind of tea is good for patients with urinary tuberculosis to drink?

Tuberculosis patients of the urinary system may moderately consume honeysuckle tea, chrysanthemum tea, green tea, dandelion tea, and plantain herb tea. Specific details are as follows:

2. Chrysanthemum tea: It clears heat, removes dampness, detoxifies, and reduces swelling. Most patients experience noticeable relief from urinary irritation symptoms such as frequent urination and urgency after drinking it, thus helping to ease discomfort.

3. Green tea: It helps clear internal heat and fire. Its significant diuretic effect increases urine output, which helps flush out the urinary tract, reduce inflammation, and improve symptoms of urinary tract infection.

4. Dandelion tea: It has heat-clearing and detoxifying properties that help relieve urinary tract inflammation. Its active ingredients can inhibit bacterial growth, making it suitable for consumption during cystitis or urethral discomfort. However, individuals with cold-deficiency body constitution should use it cautiously.

5. Plantain herb tea: It promotes urination and relieves painful or difficult urination. It is suitable for cases of poor urine flow. The organic acids and potassium salts it contains help promote the excretion of metabolic waste, reduce edema, and improve urinary obstruction.

Urinary tuberculosis patients should avoid strong tea to prevent bladder irritation and worsening of urinary frequency. Tea consumption should be spaced at least two hours apart from medication times to avoid interference with drug absorption. If the condition worsens or abnormal symptoms occur, prompt medical attention is necessary.
