+  6 Self Care Tips for Prostate Management
  1. Drink a plenty of water. ...High water consumption helps to flush out your kidneys and prevent bladder infections or kidney problems due to an enlarged prostate. Don’t drink any liquids after 7 pm to limit night time urination. Each time you urinate, try to empty your bladder completely.

  2. Avoid caffeinated beverages and limit alcohol use. Alcohol increases urine production and may cause congestion in the prostate gland. Caffeine irritates the bladder.

  3. Keep your zinc consumption at an average of 11mg daily. Taking too much zinc has no additional benefits.

  4. Stay active. Urine is retained when you don’t move around. Even a little increase in activity can make a difference.

  5. Avoid over-the-counter antihistamines and decongestants. These drugs tighten the muscles that control urine flow, making it more difficult to urinate.

  6. If you’re going to have a PSA test, abstain from bicycling or sexual activity during the 24 hours prior to the test. These activities can abnormally elevate the findings on your test, rendering it void.
