Summary
Local transurethral hyperthermia significantly improves remission periods for chronic bacterial prostatitis. This advanced prostate treatment offers a 2-3 fold increase in remission duration compared to conventional methods.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Medical Technology
Background:
- Chronic bacterial prostatitis affects men aged 25-40.
- Standard conservative therapies have limitations in achieving long-term remission.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the efficacy of local transurethral hyperthermia for chronic bacterial prostatitis.
- To compare the remission period of hyperthermia with standard conservative therapy.
Main Methods:
- The study involved 30 patients diagnosed with chronic bacterial prostatitis.
- Local transurethral hyperthermia was administered using the "Thermex" unit.
- Patients were monitored for examination, treatment, and follow-up.
Main Results:
- Local transurethral hyperthermia demonstrated significant effectiveness.
- The period of remission increased 2-3 fold compared to standard conservative therapy.
- The treatment was particularly effective for longstanding inflammatory processes.
Conclusions:
- Local transurethral hyperthermia is an effective treatment for chronic bacterial prostatitis.
- This method offers a substantial improvement in remission duration.
- It is indicated for patients with chronic prostatitis, especially those with secondary potency disorders.
