[Experience in treating residual urethritis and its complications with low-intensity laser radiation]

The authors analyze the results of laser therapy of residual urethritis and complications of urethral inflammations: cystitis, prostatitis, epididymitis, urethral strictures. Laser therapy was found particularly effective in the treatment of residual urethritis and valuable in multiple-modality treatment of urethrogenic epididymitis, cystitis, and prostatitis. The authors discuss the possibility of palliative therapy of cicatricial strictures of the urethra developing after installations and instrumental invasions for urethritis.
