Does lycopene have a therapeutic effect on prostatitis?

In real life, prostatitis is a relatively common physical disease, which usually occurs in young or middle-aged men. Prostatitis in men will not only have a certain impact on the health of the body, but also easily lead to some complications. Lycopene is a kind of carotene that can effectively prevent prostatitis or other diseases of the body, and can assist in the treatment of prostatitis.

Lycopene is a type of carotenoid and a strong antioxidant. It has a strong ability to scavenge free radicals and has significant effects on preventing and treating prostate cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, uterine cancer, etc. It also has the effects of preventing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, improving immunity, and delaying aging. Lycopene is also helpful for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, which are channels for energy transmission in the human body. Lipoprotein is used as a carrier for fat in the blood (such as cholesterol, which is insoluble in blood).

Among them, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) transported from the liver to cells is easily attacked by free radicals, causing cholesterol deposition, leading to arteriosclerosis, blocking blood flow, reducing heart nutrition and heat supply, and causing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as coronary heart disease and stroke. Lycopene can deeply remove blood vessel garbage, regulate plasma cholesterol concentration, and protect LDL from oxidation. It can also repair and improve oxidized cells, promote intercellular collagen formation, and enhance vascular flexibility.

The higher the lycopene content in human plasma, the lower the incidence of prostate cancer, lung cancer and coronary heart disease. In addition, lycopene also has the function of eliminating carcinogens and delaying cell aging. Lycopene is antioxidant, removes free radicals, prevents and improves various chronic diseases, and delays aging. Free radicals are the killers of human health. In order to fight against diseases and aging and seek health and longevity, humans have made many years of efforts. In the past ten years, modern science and technology has cooperated comprehensively in various disciplines and has made a series of progress in revealing the mechanisms of disease and aging. For example, people have confirmed that free radicals wandering around in the human body are one of the culprits that endanger health and accelerate aging.

There is a large amount of lycopene in the prostate. This anti-disease factor is the loyal guardian of the prostate. It enters the prostate tissue through the human blood circulation, protects the prostate tissue biomembrane from oxidative damage by free radicals, and enhances the cells' own repair ability. When the lycopene content in male blood is 0.23-0.3nmol/ml, it is normal. Once this content decreases, there will be systemic adverse symptoms such as difficulty urinating, soreness and bloating in the lower waist, perineum, and lower abdomen, lack of energy, insomnia, forgetfulness, and decreased resistance. At this time, it is very necessary to supplement lycopene to treat prostate diseases and improve symptoms such as frequent urination and urgency.

Therefore, lycopene has a great health-care effect on prostatitis, but taking lycopene alone cannot achieve the purpose of treatment and still needs to be combined with other treatment methods.
