What foods are beneficial for maintaining prostate health?

Managing an enlarged prostate

Dietary changes can be quite effective in managing some of the symptoms of BPH, but other basic lifestyle changes can help as well.

Some strategies that may ease BPH symptoms include:

• managing stress
• quitting smoking
• avoiding fluids in the evening to reduce nighttime urination
• emptying the bladder completely when urinating
• doing pelvic floor exercises
• avoiding medications that can worsen symptoms, such as antihistamines, diuretics, and decongestants if possible
• trying bladder training exercises
• limiting fluid intake to 2 liters of liquids each day

If these lifestyle changes are ineffective, medication or surgery may be recommended by a doctor.
