What foods should be avoided with an enlarged prostate (BPH)?

Certain foods and beverages may worsen urinary symptoms in some men with BPH. Reducing these triggers may help improve comfort, although dietary changes alone cannot treat prostate enlargement.

Some men notice increased urinary symptoms after consuming:

• Excess caffeine.
• Alcohol.
• Very spicy foods.
• Highly processed foods.
• Sugary beverages.

Not everyone reacts the same way. If you notice that certain foods worsen your symptoms, discuss dietary modifications with your doctor.
