Nutrition after removal of adenoma or prostate cancer

Proper nutrition after removal of prostate adenoma requires the introduction of some restrictions.

Changing your diet helps speed up the recovery process, saturates the body with useful vitamins and microelements, and improves your general condition. It is recommended not only in the postoperative period, but also as a prevention of prostate diseases.

Why do you need a diet?

The first 3-7 days after transurethral resection of the prostate gland, the patient is in the hospital, so nutrition occurs in the hospital. On the first day after surgery, any food is prohibited. The diet in the first days after removal of prostate adenoma includes low-fat chicken broth, boiled chicken meat and diluted fruit juices and still water.

After this period, if no complications were identified, discharge occurs. The rehabilitation period lasts up to 2 months. Postoperative nutrition for prostate adenoma is an important component in restoring the body, preventing complications and relapse of the disease.

The difficulty lies in the fact that the consumption of a fairly wide range of products is prohibited, and the permitted and healthy ones do not cause obvious appetite.
