Nutrition for prostatitis and prostate adenoma: what is possible, what is not on a diet

Proper nutrition for various illnesses is an important component of a speedy recovery. A diet for prostatitis and prostate adenoma improves the condition of the body and helps fight a number of unpleasant symptoms in men. Diet mistakes, on the other hand, can aggravate unpleasant symptoms and increase the discomfort caused by prostate diseases.

Nutritional characteristics for prostatitis

Main effects of eating properly in prostate inflammation:

  • Prevents irritation of the pelvic organs, which can aggravate inflammation.
  • Strengthening the functionality of the immune system.
  • Normalization of the digestive tract.
  • Decreased need to urinate, especially at night.
    • cooking vegetable salad for prostatitis
  • Prevention of prostate hardening by restoring blood flow and providing nutrients to the organ.

The therapeutic diet implies:

  • Enriching the diet with healthy products.
  • Establish a drinking regimen (at least 2-2. 5 liters of filtered water per day).
  • Combination of eating "healthy" foods with physical activity (eg physical education).
  • Compilation of separate menus for "exacerbation" and "remission" phases.
  • Total rejection of bad habits.

Useful products

Proper nutrition for prostatitis in men consists of eating foods that help speed up the cure. A medical specialist provides detailed recommendations.

The following should be added to the diet:

  • Nuts of all varieties.
  • Various dried fruits.
  • Lean meat.
  • Parsley and other fresh herbs.
  • Red fish.
  • Vegetables.
  • Vegetable fats.
  • Non-acidic fruits.
  • Gray bread.
  • Buckwheat / oatmeal.
  • Fermented baked milk, kefir and cottage cheese.
  • Fruit compotes.
  • Honey.
  • Fresh juices (in particular, asparagus).
  • Parsnip.

When forming a daily diet menu, it is necessary to pay attention to the amount of fiber consumed. It is important for normal bowel movements (excretion of stool from the digestive tract by the body). You should also eat foods fortified with zinc. The trace mineral increases resistance to infection and improves (as well as quantity) the quality of semen.

In case of stable remission, the following is allowed:

  • Mushrooms.
  • Spices.
  • Some fried food.
  • Dry wine (1-2 times a month 100 ml).

Dietary contraindications

When diagnosed with prostatitis, the following are prohibited for men:

  • "Fatty" foods: increase cholesterol levels and promote the formation of plaques on the walls of blood vessels. Regular "fatty" nutrition leads to impaired blood circulation, complicating the course of the disease.
  • Alcohol (even beer) - negatively affects the blood flow and overall health of a man. It leads to the appearance of congestion in the small pelvis, reduces immunity, disrupts the production of hormones and prostate secretions, and impairs erectile function.
  • Strong coffee - negatively affects the vascular system, increases pressure on the prostate gland, promotes the spread of infections (with an etiology of bacterial or viral inflammation) throughout the body.

The following products are also contraindicated:

  • Fast food.
  • Rich soups.
  • By-products.
  • Mushrooms.
  • Hot peppers, garlic and onion.
  • Pickles.
  • Spicy food.
  • Smoked products.
  • Pork and lamb fat.
  • Bake.
  • Acidic fruits.
  • Foods that contain chemical additives.
  • Carbonated drinks.
  • Spices.
  • Sweets.

How to eat properly for BPH?

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is expressed in the proliferation of organ tissues. After confirming the diagnosis, the doctor, in addition to drug therapy, prescribes a specialized diet. For BPH, the diet is based on several principles:

  • Lack of hunger combined with weight correction;
  • In case of obesity, food is selected in such a way as to guarantee weight loss;
  • A varied menu, dishes containing the necessary microelements and vitamins;
  • Divide the daily food intake into 4-5 meals;
  • Avoid food before bedtime.

The main focus is on products that help shrink benign tumors. Any food that increases the load on the bladder and causes (even indirectly) inflammatory processes is excluded.

Meat and fish products are indicated for prostatitis.

Diet disorder in BPH is plagued by men:

  • Constipation or diarrhea.
  • Bladder irritation.
  • Increased risk of stagnant secretions and blood in the prostate.

Sometimes men with a diagnosis of prostate adenoma switch to sports nutrition, considering it the most balanced. It is important to understand that it was developed for healthy people (and that, in addition to the main food) and is not intended for use in the presence of pathological processes in the body.

Nutritional guidelines for BPH:

  • Food should be eaten at approximately the same time.
  • Feelings of overeating should not be allowed.
  • The diet is calculated for each man individually.
  • The main focus is on foods that contain fiber and zinc.
  • Elimination of foods that negatively affect the immune system.
  • The diet varies depending on whether it is a medicine or a surgery.

Foods that are helpful for BPH are included in the diet:

  • Vegetable fats.
  • Diet meat.
  • Baked or raw vegetables and fruits. It is especially important to add cucumbers, pears, kiwis, potatoes, watermelons, bananas, and dates to the diet.
  • Fermented dairy products.
  • Pomegranate, carrot, beet, blueberry and tomato juice.
  • Mussels, fish, seaweed.

As with prostatitis, drinking is important. You need to drink about 2. 5 liters of water a day.

Experts advise to reject:

  • Fast food.
  • Processed and smoked cheeses.
  • Milk.
  • Store juices and sugary drinks.
  • Chili peppers.
  • Garlic.
  • Sweets.

What do men's reviews say?

On the Internet, you can find comments from men who talk about their own experiences with prostatitis and BPH. Along with information on medications, patients also share the results of the diet in their reviews.

“I have suffered from prostatitis for more than 5 years. During this time, I have not tried anything. And I went to the doctors, and I dedicated myself to self-medication, it didn't make sense. For my part, I noticed that while I maintain the correct lifestyle (now I am talking about nutrition), relapses occur much less frequently and are not so "bright" that they manifest themselves. The most important thing is to exclude alcohol and not smoke if possible and, as usual, eliminate fried, salty and spicy foods ".

“Six months ago, I started having terrible urination problems. I went to the doctor, he said I have prostatitis. First of all, he warned me that treatment and recovery depend on how I eat and how active I am. There was no trace of inflammation of the prostate. I am sure that the diet has contributed greatly to the effectiveness of the treatment ”.

“The prostate adenoma went unnoticed. The doctor said that surgery is not recommended at my age (also, I have heart problems). He prescribed medication, advised her to walk more outdoors and adjust her diet, wrote down what she can and cannot eat. He strictly prohibited drinking alcohol. I feel pretty good, even an erection appeared. The mood improved, I wanted to live with renewed vigor ”.
