Does lycopene help with prostatitis?

Patient's question:

Does eating lycopene regularly benefit prostatitis in men? Can it increase the size of an enlarged prostate? Besides, what is tomato extract? What are its components? Besides benefiting prostatitis, does lycopene have other benefits? Is there any side effect to taking 20mg of lycopene daily long-term?

Doctor's answer:

Based on your current situation description, it seems that lycopene has a very small impact on the volume of the prostate. Currently, if you don't have any special discomfort, there's no need to intentionally take anything. If you have prostatitis, you can take many medications for treatment. In addition to timely treatment, patients with prostatitis also need to pay attention to maintaining healthy eating habits in daily life to digest nutrients properly.
