    Summary

    This study investigated prostatic calculi (PC) and developed a physiotherapy regimen combining ultrasound, laser therapy, and electrostimulation. The treatment effectively destroyed calculi, improved prostate function, and relieved pain in patients with chronic prostatitis.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology and Andrology
    • Biophysics and Biomedical Engineering

    Context:

    • Prostatic calculi (PC) are common in chronic prostatitis, impacting prostate function and patient quality of life.
    • Understanding the physical properties and structure of PC is crucial for developing effective treatment strategies.
    • Current treatment options for PC and associated chronic prostatitis often have limited efficacy.

    Purpose:

    • To analyze the strength properties and morphology of prostatic calculi (PC).
    • To design and evaluate a novel local physiotherapy complex for treating prostatolithiasis and chronic prostatitis.
    • To assess the efficacy of this combined physiotherapy in improving prostate function and alleviating symptoms.

    Summary:

    • Microhardness testing revealed correlations between PC structure, morphology, and strength, aiding in understanding destruction features.

  • A physiotherapy regimen involving impulse ultrasound, laser therapy, sulfide mud introduction, and electrostimulation was implemented.
  • This complex therapy successfully destructed PC, leading to their elimination from prostatic ducts and recovery of prostate function.

    • Impact:

    • Significant improvement in erectile function was reported by 65% of patients within 3 days.
    • Pain syndrome relief was observed in 40% after 5-6 procedures and 87% after 11-15 procedures.
    • Ultrasonic analysis confirmed reduced prostate size, absence of calculi shadows in 87% of patients, and disappearance of chronic prostatitis symptoms.
