[Levitra in the treatment of patients with chronic prostatitis associated with sexual dysfunction].
Sixty patients with chronic prostatitis and sexual dysfunction were divided into two groups. All the patients received one-month standard course of physiotherapy. In addition, group I (n = 30) was given levitra (vardenafil; 5 mg per os each other day), the control group was not given this drug. Follow-up covered 6 months to 1.5 years. General urological examination, questionnaire survey, ultrasound investigation of male genital organs were made before, 1 and 6 months after treatment. The results were processed statistically. Levitra improves circulation in male sexual organs promoting increased arterial inflow to the prostate and penis. Aftertreatment effect persisted for half a year. Regular levitra intake (2-3 times a week) is recommended to correct circulation in the sexual system, including prostatic gland, but not only for correction of erectile dysfunction as a result of psychogenic and vascular disorders in the penis accompanying chronic prostatitis.
