Patient's question:
Doctor, I am currently 47 years old, male. I have been troubled by prostatitis for a long time. Recently, I am very happy to hear that prostatitis can be cured by lycopene. I want to know if lycopene can treat my prostatitis now?Doctor's answer:
Lycopene has certain benefits in the treatment of prostatitis. By digesting zinc through lycopene, it can reduce inflammation and kill bacteria in the prostate, effectively lowering the antibacterial and antiseptic ability of the gland. However, relying solely on lycopene for treatment is not sufficient to the condition. It is still necessary to combine it with other anti-inflammatory medications and physical therapy. It is recommended that patients seek targeted treatment at a urology outpatient department in a hospital.
