Dietary correction for prostatitis in men is a preventative measure along with prescription therapy. Diet will help normalize the body's protective function and prevent recurrence of the disease. Treatment of prostatitis should be comprehensive, where a special place will be given to a balanced diet.
The product is useful for prostatitis
Dishes rich in vitamins, trace elements, plant fiber reduce pain in the inflamed prostate gland and relieve congestion. Progressive adenomas put pressure on the wall of the large intestine, which cannot walk without special symptoms in the pelvic area.
A diet is recommended to be followed during the active therapy phase, as well as when remission occurs. The active components of plant products dissolve and remove small stone fragments from the urethral canal. Therefore, urine is not stuck in the bladder, posing the risk of developing inflammatory processes of the ascending type. It is necessary to adhere to the diet throughout the period of treatment for prostatitis, and then for another month after the removal of the acute condition.
Foods for prostatitis must contain the following trace elements:
- zinc (Zn);
- magnesium (Mg);
- selenium (Se);
- phosphorus (P);
- manganese (Mn);
- chromium (Cr);
- silicon (Si);
- calcium (Ca);
- iodine (I);
- iron (Fe).
These nutrient molecules take an active part in the synthesis of male sex hormones, stimulate sperm movement, neutralize infections in the circulatory system, and suppress pathogenic flora on the mucous membranes of pelvic organs. Doctors recommend eating buckwheat porridge, sunflower seeds, garlic, spinach, bananas, grapefruit, black currants.
During the period of worsening prostatitis, patients complain of decreased libido, pain in the lower abdomen, frequent urge to urinate, fluid retention in the body. With a lack of trace elements such as silicon, chromium and selenium, the risk of prostate adenoma increases several times. The necessary trace elements are contained and easily absorbed by the body from eggs, liver, brewer's yeast, seafood.
With prostatitis, which has entered a chronic stage, foods rich in zinc and selenium should be included in the diet. For example:
- halia;
- ginseng;
- tomato;
- broccoli;
- wheat sprouts;
- liver dish.
This will reduce swelling and improve the quality of the sperm produced. Regular consumption of "healthy" foods will reduce the risk of adenoma degeneration into a malignant tumor. Selenium increases potency, restores vascular tone and enhances the body’s immune function.
Nutrition of vegetables and fruits for prostatitis
During the period of increased prostatitis, which can occur regardless of climatic factors and other subjective factors, a good effect can be achieved by eating fresh fruits and vegetables. Table 1 shows a number of fruits, vegetables, seafood, derivatives from fruit and vegetable crops that help improve the function of the dead prostate gland.

However, when eating raw fruits and vegetables, you should consider the characteristics of your digestive system. It is recommended to prepare fresh juice from berries that are too sour and sweet, diluting it with less aggressive or purified drinking water. Some fruits have a good effect on the body in compote or jelly. Vegetables are used to prepare diet foods by roasting them in an oven or double boiler. The composition of vitamins and trace elements is stored in dishes from the following vegetables:

- garlic;
- tomato;
- cucumber;
- pumpkin;
- garlic;
- pumpkin;
- horseradish;
- parsnip;
- parsley;

Freshly prepared carrot root paste has a unique antiseptic effect on the mucous membranes of the urinary system. Horseradish actively suppresses the pathogenic flora of the prostate gland, quickly reducing inflammation. Including foods with radishes added in the diet, you can rely on the power to stimulate and improve erectile function.
Green overcomes the formation of stones in the urinary tract, activates the work of the gonads. Antioxidants, which are rich in many fruits and vegetables, effectively neutralize waste products and toxins in the body, not giving them a chance to poison organs and tissues.
Essential amino acids from vegetable fiber participate in the production of sex hormones and the stabilization of hormone levels. Doctors recommend that onions and garlic be included in the daily diet. They can be added to vegetable salads, meat dishes, fruit drinks.
Foods that affect the prostate gland
The body of a man with an inflamed prostate should be given a diet rich in vitamins, minerals and natural substances. Adhering to a diet for erectile dysfunction and frequent inflammatory processes in the organs of the excretory system, it is possible to reduce the risk of cancer and adhesions to the pelvic organs, as well as to prevent infertility.
The function of the prostate gland is influenced by the active ingredients of meat and fish fibers. However, with prostatitis, it is not recommended to eat meat and fish that are too fatty. The following meat varieties will have a good effect:
- chicken;
- rabbit meat;
- beef;
- Turkey;
- horse meat.
Meat is easily absorbed by the body when steamed or in the oven without frying and hot spices. Boiled meat is useful in soups and stews. After boiling the meat, it is recommended to drain the broth "first", prepare the main dish with a fresh portion of water. Therefore, toxins and fats can be removed.
Fish dishes should not be substituted in any diet. River and sea fish are rich in phosphorus, fatty acids and trace elements. It is best to prepare pieces of meat, casserole or fish soup from fresh fish.
Chicken or quail eggs, eaten raw, will saturate the body with magnesium, calcium, silicon. Egg whites and cholesterol participate in the synthesis of hormones, stabilizing metabolic processes in organs and tissues.
Fermented milk products have a positive effect on the work of the pelvic organs. At home, you can cook yogurt, curdled milk, kefir, and even curd casserole.
Lactobacilli, which are abundant in dairy products, have a beneficial effect on the mucous membranes of the large intestine, filling the flora of the intestinal cavity with beneficial microorganisms and bacteria. By consuming dairy products every day, you can get rid of constipation, which in many cases is the cause of inflammation of the prostate gland.
Timely bowel emptying is the key to pelvic organ health. However, fatty milk is not recommended for frequent use in raw prostatitis. Based on milk, you can cook cereals, casserole, omelets. Taking buckwheat porridge for several weeks normalizes tissue circulation and improves the body's protective function. Buckwheat is considered a natural antioxidant that prevents the rapid growth of cancer cells.
Particular attention should be paid to beverages when adjusting the diet for men with prostatitis. Drink plenty of fluids. During the day, it is recommended to drink still water, herbal teas, low -concentrated fruit juices, compotes, fruit drinks, fermented milk drinks. Purified water in the daily diet is required in the amount of 1-1, 5 liters.
It is best to agree on the amount of fluid consumed with the doctor, as excessive drinking will cause increased swelling of the prostate itself and its compression by too much bladder. It is best to drink a large portion of fluids daily in the morning to reduce nocturnal urine output and avoid going to the toilet at night.
From herbal infusions, chamomile tea, drunk hot, has a positive effect on the prostate gland. Chamomile flowers are rich in phytonutides, flavonoids and azulents, which relieve inflammation, suppress pathogenic microflora on the mucous membranes. Essential oils, which easily penetrate tissues, reduce pain by relaxing smooth muscles.
Ginger root is a unique remedy to combat prostatitis. This plant is rich in amino acids, vitamins and minerals. By adding grated ginger to tea, you can reduce inflammation in the prostate tissue and increase testosterone production. With increasing age, the synthesis of male sex hormones decreases, which causes a hormonal imbalance. The infusion of rose hips, hawthorn, barberry will ensure the normalization of sexual function, reduce the risk of cancer.
Diet for acute and chronic prostatitis should be varied and meet the needs of age and individual.
Products that must be abandoned for prostatitis
The prostate gland is very sensitive to food. Therefore, it is necessary to use with caution some nutrients that can cause an increase in prostatitis even after a small portion. The following dishes and beverages must be completely excluded:
- hot spices;
- alcohol;
- lambs;
- fat;
- mackerel;
- factory canned food;

- roast.
If you allow the intake of the above products, you can worsen the symptoms of the disease, causing irritation not only to the prostate gland, but also to the bladder. Foods that are too spicy and fatty will cause intestinal disorders, which will worsen prostatitis. Bloating of the intestinal wall will increase the urge to urinate and put pressure on the prostate gland. It is recommended to limit the intake of beverages that stimulate urination during the period of remission, and even exclude it altogether in case of exacerbation of prostatitis.

Restricted food for prostatitis
Acute prostatitis causes severe discomfort, depriving you of rest even during sleep. The diet involves a limited intake of the following foods:
- citrus fruits;
- sweet pastries;
- candy;
- mushrooms;
- beans;
- cabbage;
- coffee;
- concentrated juice.
Foods that cause increased gas production, in addition to bloating, can also cause allergic reactions. Sweet pastry products increase weight, creating an additional burden on the digestive system. It’s best to replace pasta dishes with cereals, and prefer dark wheat or whole wheat breads rather than white pasta.
Some handy tips
From an early age, it is necessary to do prevention of prostatitis. To do this, you must adhere to a healthy lifestyle, observe a regimen, and get rid of urinary tract infections in a timely manner. It is very important not to allow frequent sexual partner changes, neglect of barrier contraception and intimate hygiene.
It is also important to constantly monitor for hypothermia in the lower legs and pelvic organs. Exposure to low temperatures on the external genitalia will have a negative effect.
A diet for prostatitis will significantly reduce the severity of acute symptoms, preventing the development of complications.
