The diet to correct male prostatitis is a preventive measure and a prescription for treatment. Diet will help normalize the body's protective functions and prevent the recurrence of the disease. The treatment of prostatitis should be comprehensive, in which special attention should be paid to a balanced diet.
Useful products for prostatitis
Dishes rich in vitamins, trace elements, and plant fiber can significantly reduce the pain in the inflamed prostate and eliminate congestion. Progressive adenoma puts pressure on the wall of the large intestine and cannot proceed without the characteristic symptoms of the pelvic area.
It is recommended to follow the diet during the active phase of treatment and during remission. The active ingredients of plant products can dissolve and remove small stone fragments in the urethral catheter. Therefore, urine does not remain in the bladder, which increases the risk of an ascending inflammatory process. It is necessary to stick to the diet throughout the treatment of prostatitis, and then stick to it for another month after the acute symptoms are removed.
Food for treating 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).
The molecules of these substances actively participate in the synthesis of male sex hormones, stimulate sperm motility, neutralize infections in the circulatory system, and inhibit pathogenic bacteria on the mucous membranes of pelvic organs. The doctor recommends eating more buckwheat porridge, sunflower seeds, garlic, spinach, bananas, grapefruit, and black currant.
During the exacerbation of prostatitis, the patient complained of decreased libido, lower abdominal pain, frequent false urgency, and fluid retention in the body. Due to the lack of trace elements such as silicon, chromium and selenium, the risk of prostate adenoma increases several times. Eggs, liver, brewer's yeast, and seafood contain essential trace elements, and they are easily absorbed by the human body.
For prostatitis that has entered the chronic phase, the diet should include foods rich in zinc and selenium. E. g:
- Ginger;
- Ginseng;
- tomato;
- broccoli;
- Sprouted wheat
- Liver dish.
This will reduce swelling and improve the quality of sperm produced. Regular consumption of "healthy" foods reduces the risk of adenomas degenerating into malignant tumors. Selenium can improve potency, restore vascular tone and increase the body's immune function.
The benefits of vegetables and fruits for prostatitis
During the exacerbation of prostatitis, regardless of the climate and other subjective factors, good results can be achieved by eating fresh fruits and vegetables. Table 1 shows some derivatives of fruits, vegetables, seafood, fruit and vegetable crops, which help to improve the death function of the prostate.

However, when eating fruits and vegetables raw, the characteristics of the digestive system should be considered. It is recommended to prepare fresh juices from berries that are too sour and too sweet and dilute them with less aggressive or pure drinking water. Some fruits are good for the body in candied fruit or jelly. Vegetables are used to prepare meals by roasting in an oven or double boiler. Vitamins and trace elements are preserved in the following vegetable dishes:
- potato;
- radish;
- onion;
- tomato;
- cucumber;
- pumpkin;
- garlic;
- squash;
- horseradish;
- Parsnips
- parsley;
- Lettuce leaves
- asparagus;
- spinach.
Freshly prepared horseradish paste has a unique antiseptic effect on the mucous membrane of the urinary system. Horseradish actively inhibits the pathogenic bacteria in the prostate and rapidly reduces inflammation. Including meals that add horseradish to your diet, you can rely on stimulating potency and improving erectile function.
Greens responded to the formation of stones in the urinary system ducts and activated the work of the gonads. The antioxidants rich in many fruits and vegetables can effectively neutralize waste and heavy toxins in the body, so that they have no chance to poison organs and tissues.
The essential amino acids in plant fiber are involved in the production of sex hormones and the stabilization of hormone levels. The doctor recommends adding onions and garlic to the diet every day. They can be added to vegetable salads, meat dishes, and fruit drinks.
Foods that affect the prostate
Men with prostate inflammation should be provided with a diet rich in vitamins, minerals and natural ingredients. Adhering to a diet that targets erectile dysfunction and frequent inflammatory processes in the excretory system organs will likely reduce the risk of cancer and pelvic organ adhesions, and avoid infertility.
The function of the prostate is affected by active substances from meat and fish fiber. However, if you suffer from prostatitis, it is not recommended to eat too fat meat and fish. The following meat varieties will have beneficial effects:
- Chickens;
- rabbit;
- beef;
- Turkey;
- horsemeat.
The meat is easily absorbed by the body when it is steamed or in the oven, without the need for additional frying and hot spices. Boiled meat is useful in soups and stews. After boiling the meat, it is recommended to drain the "first" broth and prepare the main dish with fresh water. Therefore, toxins and fat can be removed from the product.
Fish dishes are irreplaceable in any diet. River fish and sea fish are rich in phosphorus, fatty acids and trace elements. It is recommended to cook meatloaf, casserole or fish soup with fresh fish.
Raw chicken or quail eggs will fill the body with magnesium, calcium, and silicon. Egg white and cholesterol are involved in the synthesis of hormones and stabilize the metabolic processes of organs and tissues.
Fermented dairy products have a positive effect on the work of the pelvic organs. At home, you can cook yogurt, curd, kefir and curd casserole.
The lactobacillus rich in dairy products has a beneficial effect on the mucosa of the large intestine, so that the flora in the intestinal cavity contains beneficial microorganisms and bacteria. By consuming dairy products every day, you can get rid of constipation, which in many cases is the root cause of prostate inflammation.
Timely emptying of the intestine is the key to the health of the pelvic organs. However, it is not recommended to use high-fat milk regularly to treat prostatitis. Based on milk, you can cook cereals, casseroles, and omelets. Taking buckwheat porridge for several weeks can normalize tissue circulation and increase the body's protective function. Buckwheat is considered a natural antioxidant that can prevent the rapid development of cancer cells.
Men with prostatitis should pay special attention to drinks when adjusting their diet. Drink more water. During the day, it is recommended to drink still water, herbal tea, low-concentration fruit juice, preserves, fruit juice drinks, fermented milk drinks. 1-1. 5 liters of purified water is needed in the daily diet.
It is recommended to discuss the amount of fluid to be consumed with your doctor, because excessive drinking will increase the swelling of the prostate itself and compress the prostate due to the overflow of the bladder. It is recommended to drink a lot of liquids every morning to reduce the amount of urine at night and avoid going to the toilet at night.
From herbal infusions, hot chamomile tea has a positive effect on the prostate. Chamomile flowers are rich in phytoncides, flavonoids and chamomiles, which can relieve inflammation and inhibit pathogenic bacteria on the mucous membrane. Essential oils easily penetrate tissues and relieve pain by relaxing smooth muscles.
Ginger root is a unique treatment against prostatitis. The plant is rich in amino acids, vitamins and minerals. By adding ground ginger to the tea, you can reduce inflammation of the prostate tissue and increase the production of testosterone. With age, the synthesis of male sex hormones decreases, which leads to hormonal imbalance. Infusion of rose hips, hawthorn and barberry will ensure the normalization of sexual function and reduce the risk of cancer.
The diet of acute and chronic prostatitis should be varied and meet the needs of specific ages and individuals.
Products that have to be abandoned due to prostatitis
The prostate is very sensitive to food. Therefore, it is necessary to use some nutrients that can worsen prostatitis even if consumed in small amounts. The following dishes and beverages must be completely excluded:
- Hot spice
- alcohol;
- Lamb;
- fat;
- mackerel;
- Factory canned food;
- Semi-finished products
- Beans
- mayonnaise;
- Hot sauce
- coffee;
- Strong black tea;
- Sweet carbonated drink
- Sweet carbohydrates
- Fat milk;
- bacon;
- pickle;
- Pickled vegetables;
- grilled.
If you allow the intake of these products, it will aggravate the symptoms of the disease, not only irritating the prostate but also the bladder. Too spicy and greasy food can cause intestinal dysfunction, thereby aggravating prostatitis. The swelling of the bowel wall increases the urge to urinate and puts pressure on the prostate. It is recommended to limit the consumption of beverages that stimulate urination during the remission period, or even completely eliminate it when prostatitis worsens.

Acute prostatitis can cause severe discomfort and deprive you of rest even during sleep. The diet includes restricting the intake of the following foods:
- Citrus fruits
- Sweet pastry
- candy;
- mushroom;
- Beans
- cabbage;
- coffee;
- Concentrated fruit juice.
In addition to flatulence, foods that increase gas production can also cause allergic reactions. Pastries and desserts will increase weight and cause additional burden on the digestive system. It is recommended to use cereals instead of pasta. Compared with white pasta, dark or whole wheat bread is preferred.
Some useful tips
Prostatitis must be prevented from an early age. For this reason, you should stick to a healthy lifestyle, observe eating habits, and eliminate urinary tract infections in time. It is very important to not allow frequent changes of sexual partners, neglect barriers to contraception and private hygiene.
It is also important to continuously monitor the hypothermia of the lower extremities and pelvic organs. Exposure of the external genitalia to low temperatures can have negative effects.
The prostatitis diet will significantly reduce the severity of acute symptoms and prevent the development of complications.
