Effect on the prostate
The effect of coffee on the prostate has not yet been fully studied. Some studies show that drinking this drink was more likely to worsen symptoms.
Therefore, in order to understand the benefits of coffee for prostatitis and what harm it can cause, it is necessary to understand its effect on the body and, in particular, on the genitourinary system.
Positive influence
If you drink coffee with prostatitis and prostate adenoma, the following positive effect on the body occurs:
- blood circulation improves;
- a slight diuretic effect appears;
- the feeling of fatigue is relieved;
- considered an aphrodisiac.
If its use does not cause discomfort, then you don’t have to give up this habit.
Bad influence
In the presence of acute inflammatory processes in the prostate gland, the effect that the drink has on the body can lead to negative results:
- The diuretic effect on an inflamed organ will lead to even greater irritation of the bladder and urinary tract.
- Improving blood circulation contributes to additional stress on the inflamed organ, and this increases pain.
- Improving erection during prostate inflammation can lead to an exacerbation of the disease or its transition to a chronic form.
- Excitement of the nervous system can lead to increased irritability.
- Frequent use contributes to the accumulation of fluid in the body; if urination is impaired, this can lead to even greater swelling of the organ.
- Promotes the leaching of useful substances from the body (potassium, magnesium, calcium and others).
Therefore, we can conclude that coffee is harmful for prostatitis during an exacerbation of the disease and when consumed in excess.
Is it possible to drink coffee for chronic prostatitis?
If you cannot give up the habit of drinking a drink, you should follow some rules. Coffee for chronic prostatitis can be consumed:
- In small doses - 1 cup per day will not hurt. But it’s best to prepare not espresso, but Americano diluted with milk. In the presence of milk, the drink washes out less nutrients.
- To prepare the drink, you should use natural grains, not soluble analogues. To achieve a soluble form, grains undergo several degrees of processing, this affects the content of nutrients in the final product.
- It is recommended to avoid adding sugar, syrups and heavy cream to prepare the drink.
- Avoid consumption in the afternoon. This way you can avoid increased urination at night.
- Contraindications of prescribed medications should be examined for the presence of caffeine.
Bacterial chronic prostatitis during the period of exacerbation is accompanied by pain when urinating and a feeling of incomplete emptying of the bladder. During this period, you should refrain from drinking the drink, as the diuretic effect of taking it will cause even more discomfort.
Is it possible to drink coffee if you have prostate stones?
Drinking strong black tea and espresso disrupts the mineral balance in the body. Therefore, drinking coffee if you have prostate stones is not recommended.
Is it possible to have coffee for acute prostatitis?
You should not drink coffee during acute prostatitis, since during this period its consumption increases the sensitivity of the body. The diuretic effect promotes rapid filling of the bladder, and this leads to even greater pressure on the prostate and an increase in its swelling.
Is it possible to drink coffee if you have prostate adenoma?
The ability to drink a drink with adenoma directly depends on the degree of the disease.
- At stages 1–2, a drink in small quantities will not harm the body. It is advisable to drink only weak coffee, preferably with the addition of milk.
- Drinking coffee with stage 3 prostate adenoma is strictly prohibited. At this stage, the prostate is maximally enlarged and blocks the urethra.
What drinks can be replaced
You can replace coffee with other healthy drinks that will bring pleasure and benefit the body. These include:
- Green tea.
- Chicory.
- Cocoa with milk.
- Rose hip decoction.
