Diet correction for prostatitis in men is a preventive measure along with therapeutic prescriptions. Diet will help to normalize the body's protective functions and prevent the disease from relapse. The treatment of prostatitis must be comprehensive, in which a special place will be given to a balanced diet.
Useful Products for Prostatitis
Dishes rich in vitamins, trace elements and vegetable fibers significantly reduce the pain in the inflamed prostate and eliminate congestion. A progressive adenoma puts pressure on the walls of the large intestine, which cannot proceed without characteristic symptoms in the pelvic region.
It is recommended that a diet be followed during the active phase of therapy as well as when remission occurs. The active components of plant products dissolve and remove fragments of small stones from the urethra ducts. Thus, urine is not retained in the bladder, creating the risk of developing inflammatory processes of the ascending type. It is necessary to follow the diet during the entire period of treatment of prostatitis and then for another month after the removal of the acute condition.
Foods for prostatitis must necessarily 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 circulatory system infections and suppress the pathogenic flora of the mucous membranes of Organs pelvic organs. Doctors recommend eating buckwheat porridge, sunflower seeds, garlic, spinach, banana, grapefruit, black currant.
During periods of prostatitis exacerbation, patients complain of decreased libido, lower abdominal pain, frequent false desire to urinate, and fluid retention in the body. With a deficiency 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 and seafood.
With prostatitis, which has moved into the chronic stage, foods rich in zinc and selenium must be included in the diet. For example:
Redhead;
ginseng;
tomatoes;
broccoli;
germinated wheat;
liver dishes.
This will reduce swelling and improve the quality of sperm produced. Regular consumption of "healthy" foods will reduce the risk of adenoma degeneration into a malignant tumor. Selenium improves potency, restoring vascular tone and boosting the body's immune functions.
The Benefits of Vegetables and Fruits for Prostatitis
During periods of prostatitis exacerbation, which can occur independently of climatic and other subjective factors, a good effect can be achieved by eating fresh fruits and vegetables. Table 1 shows some fruits, vegetables, seafood, fruit and vegetable derivatives that help improve prostate killing functions.

Greens deal with the formation of calculi in the ducts of the urinary system, activating the work of the gonads. Antioxidants, which are rich in many fruits and vegetables, effectively neutralize the body's waste products and heavy toxins, giving them no opportunity to poison organs and tissues.
Essential amino acids from plant fibers participate in the production of sex hormones and stabilization of hormone levels. Doctors recommend that onions and garlic be included in the diet every day. They can be added to vegetable salads, meat dishes, fruit juices.
Foods that affect the prostate

chicken;
rabbit meat;
beef;
Peru;
horsemeat.
Meat is easily absorbed into the body when steamed or in the oven without additional frying and hot seasoning. Cooked meat is useful in soups and stews. After the meat has boiled, it is recommended to drain the "first" broth, preparing the main dish with a new portion of water. Thus, it will be possible to remove toxins and fats from the product.
Fish dishes are simply irreplaceable in any diet. River and sea fish are rich in phosphorus, fatty acids and trace elements. It is recommended to prepare cutlets, casseroles or fresh fish soup.
Chicken or quail eggs, eaten raw, saturate the body with magnesium, calcium and silicon. Egg white and cholesterol participate in the synthesis of hormones, stabilize metabolic processes in organs and tissues.
Fermented dairy products have a positive effect on the functioning of Organs pelvic organs. At home, you can prepare yogurt, sour milk, kefir and also curd casseroles.
Lactobacilli, abundant in dairy products, have a beneficial effect on the mucous membrane of the large intestine, populating the flora of the intestinal cavity with beneficial microorganisms and bacteria. By consuming dairy every day, you can get rid of constipation, which in many cases is the root cause of prostate inflammation.
Timely emptying of the intestines is the key to the health of Organs pelvic organs. However, whole milk is not recommended for frequent use in raw prostatitis.

From herbal infusions, chamomile tea, consumed hot, has a positive effect on the prostate. Chamomile flowers are rich in phytoncides, flavonoids and azulenes, which alleviate inflammation by suppressing the pathogenic microflora of the mucous membranes. Essential oils, which easily penetrate tissues, reduce pain by relaxing smooth muscles.
Ginger root is a unique remedy for fighting prostatitis. The plant is rich in amino acids, vitamins and minerals. By adding grated ginger to tea, you can reduce inflammation in prostate tissues and increase testosterone production. With age, the synthesis of male sex hormones decreases, which leads to hormonal imbalances. Infusions of rose hips, hawthorn and barberry ensure the normalization of sexual functions, reducing the risk of developing cancer.
The diet for acute and chronic prostatitis should be varied and meet individual and age-specific needs.
Products that will have to be abandoned for prostatitis

Foods that will have to be limited for prostatitis
Acute prostatitis causes severe discomfort, depriving you of rest even during moments of sleep. The diet involves a limited intake of the following foods:
citrus fruits;
sweet pastries;
candy;
mushrooms;
legumes;
cabbage;

Some useful tips
From an early age, it is necessary to carry out prevention of prostatitis. To do this, you must adhere to a healthy lifestyle, observe the regimen, and eliminate urinary infections in a timely manner. It is very important not to allow frequent changes of sexual partners, neglect of barrier contraception and intimate hygiene.
It is also important to constantly monitor hypothermia of the lower extremities and pelvic organs. Exposure to low temperatures in the external genitals will have a negative effect.
A diet for prostatitis will significantly reduce the severity of acute symptoms, preventing the development of complications.
