Prostatitis dietary therapy

Maximize fruit and vegetables: Fruits and vegetables contain high levels of antioxidants, polyphenols, vitamins, minerals, and fiber, which can help fight infections, inflammation and contribute to overall health. Poor general health is a risk factor for prostatitis, and fruits and vegetables are an antidote.

Consider a wheat-free diet: Although you won’t find any published studies on the topic of a wheat-free diet and prostatitis (at least not yet), there are anecdotal reports from men who have eliminated wheat products from their diet and who then experienced significant reduction or even elimination of prostatitis symptoms.

Choose plant protein over animal protein: Plant protein gives you all the nutrients and health benefits needed for prostatitis prevention. Diets rich in plant protein have been shown to reduce rates of prostate disease.

Consume green tea: Green tea contains substances called catechins that have potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Research indicates that these catechins can be helpful in reducing infection and prostatitis prevention.

Try probiotics: Probiotics or beneficial bacteria, may be an effective addition to antibiotic therapy for men who have bacterial prostatitis and are looking for natural prostatititis prevention.

Eat healthy fats: A low-fat diet that includes healthy fats (omega-3s, monounsaturated) promotes prostate health, while a high-fat diet activates a protein complex that promotes inflammation.

Soy products: They can help prevent prostate enlargement and may slow tumour growth. This effect is attributed to isoflavones, plant chemicals that help lower dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a male hormone that stimulates the overgrowth of prostate tissue.

Selenium: selenium is another mineral that may offer protection. This antioxidant is found in nuts—especially Brazil nuts—seafood, some meats, fish, wheat bran, wheat germ, oats and brown rice.

Take the right supplements: Several supplements are helpful in prostatitis prevention if you have prostatitis, including Vitamin D, Zinc and Green tea extract.

The difference between prostatitis and urethritis according to their symptoms

A lot of male patients are going through abnormal urination, cloudy urine and painful lower abdomen. They often consider that they have got prostatitis. But in fact, it could be urethritis. There are many similarities between prostatitis and urethritis. We can hardly differentiate them without detailed test. Then, how to differentiate these two diseases?

1. Urethritis is a kind of infectious disease. But prostatitis is non-contagious.

2. Urethritis is mainly induced by bacteria. But most prostatitis is induced by physiological inflammation. It is rarely caused by bacteria.

3. Except for abnormal urination, there would be symptom of urethritis patients that the urine flows out of the urethral orifice automatically.

4. For treating urethritis, we kill the bacteria and diminish inflammation mainly by taking or injecting antibiotics. But for prostatitis, there are many treatment methods. And the methods vary with different people. For the patients who have treated for a long time, we suggest him to use traditional Chinese medicine-diuretics and anti-inflammatory pill to treat it.

5.If the urethritis develop continually, it would induce prostatitis.Relatively speaking, urethritis would be more contagious than prostatitis.
When checking the urine of patients with urethritis, there would be a lot of white blood cells. But when doing the same examination of prostatitis patients, there would not have so many white blood cells.

6. After cure of urethritis, we don't need to have the strict care. Only if we have good hygiene, it would not recur any more. But after cure of prostatitis, we should also do a lot of nursing, especially in terms of eating.

Now, we can differentiate the prostatitis and urethritis by ourselves. No matter what you have acquired, You should go to a hospital to have an examination soon. Then you can choose proper treatment based on accurate diagnosis.
