Yes: Diets rich in antioxidants, fresh fruits and vegetables and a supplement called queceretin have all been shown to be good for prostate health. In addition, good urination habits, not holding urine, drinking plenty of water during the daytime are also good strategies.

Not really: Most prostatitis has no known or obvious cause. Infection is often suspected, but most cases test negative for known infections. Some cases are caused by E. coli and other bacteria that cause urinary tract infections, bu tusually it's non-infectious inflammation. Because the cause usually is unknown, there are no proved preventive measures. See a urologist for in-person advice
