[Vacuum interference therapy in the complex treatment of patients with chronic bacterial prostatitis]. / Vakuum-interferentsterapiya v kompleksnom lechenii patsientov s khronicheskim bakterial'nym prostatitom.

Taking into account the complex etiology and pathogenesis of chronic prostatitis, a large number of complications including the reproductive function impairment, the developing new effective methods of treating this pathology remains highly relevant. OBJECTIVE: Scientific substantiation of combined electric vacuum exposure in patients with chronic bacterial prostatitis (CBP). MATERIAL AND METHODS: The 90 patients with CBP aged 27-55 years were examined and were divided into 3 equal groups by the method of simple randomization. Patients of the main group received vacuum interference therapy procedures, the comparison group received interference therapy without vacuum exposure, and the control group received only standard drug therapy that was also prescribed in the first two groups. The effectiveness of therapy was assessed before, immediately after and 6 months after using the NIH-CPS, IPSS, QOL scales, trans-rectal ultrasound examination of the prostate gland, bacteriological examination and microscopy of a native preparation of prostate secretion and uroflowmetry. RESULTS: An improvement in the clinical symptoms of CBP was found largely in the groups receiving physiotherapy. In the main group there was a more significant volume decrease in the inflammatory-altered prostate gland (by 31.5%), in the comparison group the volume of the prostate gland decreased by 14%, and in the control group - by 9.6% that indicates the most pronounced anti-inflammatory effect of electro-vacuum actions. In the main group, there was also a more pronounced positive dynamics of dysuric disorders' indicators and maximum urination rate compared to the comparison and control groups. CONCLUSION: A higher clinical efficacy of vacuum interference therapy in patients with CBP (93.3%) has been proven compared with interference therapy (80.0%) and standard therapy (66.6%). The data obtained confirm the advantages and usage prospects of the combined physiotherapeutic effects.
