  • prevents irritation of the pelvic organs and can exacerbate inflammation.
  • Strengthen the functionality of the immune system.
  • Normalization of the digestive tract.
  • Decreased urination, especially at night.
    • Cook vegetable salad for prostatitis
  • Prevent hardening of the prostate by restoring blood flow and nourishing the body.

Therapeutic diet includes:

  • Enriching the diet with healthy products.
  • Establish a drinking regimen (at least 2-2, 5 liters of filtered water per day).
  • Combining "healthy" food intake with physical activity (eg, physical education).
  • Development of separate menus for "exacerbation" and "remission" stages.
  • Abstain from bad habits completely.

Useful products

What do men's opinions say?

On the Internet, you can find comments from men about their experiences with prostatitis and BPH. In addition to information about medications, patients also share the results of the diet in their opinions.

“I have been suffering from prostatitis for more than 5 years. I haven't tried anything during this time. And I went to the doctors and self-medicated, it didn't make sense. I have noted for myself that while maintaining a healthy lifestyle (I'm talking about nutrition now), relapses are less common and they are not as "bright". The most important thing is to get rid of alcohol and, if possible, not to smoke and, as usual, to remove fried, salty and spicy foods. "

“Six months ago, I started having a terrible urinary problem. I went to the doctor and he said I had prostatitis. First of all, he told me that treatment and recovery depend on how I eat and how active I am. There were no signs of prostatitis. I am sure that the diet has contributed to the effectiveness of treatment. "

“Prostate adenoma ruptured unnoticed. The doctor said that surgery was not recommended at my age (I also have a heart problem). He prescribed medication, advised him to walk more in the fresh air and adjust his diet, wrote down what you can and cannot eat. Strictly banned the consumption of alcohol. I feel very good, erection even appeared. The mood has improved, I wanted to live with a new strength. "
