[Validity of using physical therapy in combined treatment of chronic prostatitis].
To evaluate efficacy of combined physiotherapy in patients with chronic prostatitis (chronic bacterial, chronic abacterial prostatitis), an open comparative trial was made by specialists of the Research Institute of Urology in 2003-2004 of the unit Andro-Gin. Before the treatment, a standard examination was made including analysis of case history and complaints, rectal palpation, questionnaire filling-in, prostatic secretion tests, PCR diagnosis, transrectal ultrasonic scanning and uroflowmetry. In group 1 (chronic bacterial prostatitis) given monotherapy with an etiotropic drug (ED) or combination of ED with Andro-Gin treatment, a significant improvement was achieved by the scale NIH-CPSI, Sorensen scale (p < 0.05). In group 2 (chronic abacterial prostatitis with inflammation) subgroups C,D,E patients showed significant improvement by the scales NIH-CPSI and Sorensen (p < 0.05). The highest symptomatic effect was recorded in the subgroup D in combined treatment with ED and Andro-Gin physiotherapy. In group 3 low NIH-CPSI scale score occurred due to alleviation of pain in subgroup F (p < 0.05), In subgroup G symptoms by the above scales did not change. Uroflowmetry featured moderate dynamics of the increment in maximal voiding speed. Voiding improved significantly in subgroup F in patients with chronic abacterial prostatitis in the absence of inflammation.
