Bargeboy Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 I have problems with my prostate in that it is inflamed. I think it might be coffee related as it seems to throb after drinking it. Any advice/experience of this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLazyCaveman Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Hi, Bargeboy! First, I'm not a doctor, so if this is causing you significant discomfort, definitely get yourself checked out! That said, do you suspect that it's the coffee itself that's a problem, or the increased act of urination because of the coffee? Do you experience the same pain after drinking a lot of water, for example? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLazyCaveman Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Well, then I'd suggest you cut back on the coffee, then make the switch to tea, and see if you can get completely off it. Because caffeine is a vasodilator, it increases blood flow to areas (like your prostate), which will enlarge them. And because it's a diuretic, it will make you urinate more often, which will also affect your prostate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay C Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Hi Bargeboy - I have BPI and it definitely improved when I cut out coffee. Sorry to say. It hasn't completely rolled back the clock for my prostate, but it was a clear step in the right direction. A good strong cup of tea is pretty satisfying!
