Dietary requirements
In case of inflammation of the prostate gland, additionally stick to the right diet.
- elimination of constipation, which provokes increased pain and impedes blood circulation in the pelvic organs;

- improving intestinal motility and the entire digestive process.
- berries, fruits, vegetables, herbs;
- cereals, bran, freshly squeezed juices.
If prostatitis develops, the blood vessels are also affected. They are in a state of spasm and therefore obstruct local blood flow. Cell hypoxia develops, so they begin to become inflamed and die. Blood circulation is disturbed not only in the prostate, but also in other pelvic organs. This provokes the development of edema and ascites may form.
Complex treatment is required to restore blood flow through the pelvic organs. They use medication, physical therapy, exercise, and diet. The diet includes fatty acids that improve blood circulation, reproductive system activity and testosterone production.
- diabetes;
- atherosclerosis.
Therefore, when the main disease develops, it is recommended to review your diet and limit foods with a high content of glucose and cholesterol.

Many men with chronic prostatitis are overweight or obese. Then they consult a gastroenterologist or nutritionist who chooses optimal nutrition and a strict diet.
