Abstract:
33 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) were exposed to hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) and SHF waves. Group 1 patients had no prostatic inflammation, group 2 patients had combination of BPH with chronic prostatitis. Both these modalities are considered as to mechanism of action at different periods of the development of urination disturbances. The combined therapy imposed a positive trend in urination parameters, especially evident in group 2 patients. In them mean urination frequency reduced from 14.8-8.5 times to 6.3, mean urine volume increased from 83.6 to 199 ml. Index I-PSS fell in group 1 by 2 and group 2 by 6.4 scores. L index of quality of life declined by 1.2 and 1.6 scores in groups 1 and 2, respectively. It is inferred that combined use of HBO and SHF therapy is highly effective in urination disorders in patients with BPH suffering from or without chronic prostatitis.
