[Complex diagnosis of chronic prostatitis complicated by disorders in sexual and reproductive functions].
A comprehensive clinical-and-laboratory evaluation was carried out in 132 patients with chronic prostatitis, the major proportion of these presenting with concomitant urethritis. It has been ascertained that infectious agents (chlamidia, gonococci, myco- and ureaplasms, trichomonads) play an important part in the origination and development of chronic prostatitis. In the examined patients spermograms were studied, with normospermia having been recorded in 45 (34%) patients, grade I oligospermia in 41 (31%), grade II oligospermia in 29 (22%), grade III oligospermia in 13 (10%), azospermia in 4 (3%) patients. There was no relatedness of changes revealed in qualitative characteristics of the ejaculate to etiology of chronic prostatitis. A comparative study was done on those parameters characterizing local (cell-mediated, humoral) immunity of the reproductive tract in patients with chronic prostatitis of different etiological (infectious) origin. Disturbances in local immunologic vigor in varying etiology chronic prostatitis have been shown to be of unidirectional character with no statistically significant difference in place.
