Role of beetroot prior to ordering repeat prostate biopsy

MUDr. ©árka Kudláčková, Ph.D.
Urologická klinika LF UP a FN Olomouc

In patients with chronic abacterial prostatitis and elevated PSA, beetroot aids in the treatment of inflammation, thus reducing the PSA level. In addition to relieving patients from the symptoms of chronic prostatitis, the decrease in PSA that is associated with reduction of inflammation may ultimately render prostate rebiopsy unnecessary in the patient.

Keywords: prostate rebiopsy, beetroot, chronic prostatitis.
