title: [The concept of the pathogenesis of chronic prostatitis].
abstract: The examination covered 4250 males (mean age 23,8 years) suffering from acute and chronic urethritides of various origin. In the chronic course of nongonococcal urethritis chronic prostatis (CP) occurred in 44.1-59.5% of the patients. In short-term nongonococcal urethritides CP was registered 3-4 times more rarely, in acute gonorrhea 40 time more rarely compared to chronic disease. Out of 128 males aged 17-24 free of urological diseases CP was detected in 20.3% of the examinees. CP 150 sufferers aged 19-61 had chlamydia in the urethra in 41.6% of cases. It is suggested that urethral infection can contribute to the onset of CP or add to prostatitis of another origin. It may also aggravate the run of noninfectious prostatitis.
