Efficacy of combined physiotherapeutic methods in complex treatment of patients with chronic infectious urethroprostatitis

: The study is aimed at investigation of efficacy and safety of a combined effect of laser therapy and vibromagnetotherapy in complex treatment of patients with chronic urethroprostatitis in the presence of sexually transmitted infection (STI). A total of 35 males aged 20 to 51 years entered the study. They were divided into 3 groups. Group 1 received standard basic therapy, group 2 received basic and laser therapy, group 3 - basic treatment and laser plus vibromagnetotherapy. Effectiveness of the treatment was assessed by the evidence obtained from clinical, bacteriological, device and functional examinations. The results of the treatments were evaluated after 2 weeks of the follow-up. It is shown that patients of groups 2 and 3 achieved more pronounced improvement of clinical and laboratory indices, parameters of basal blood flow. Thus, physiotherapy, added to antibacterial treatment, is safe and effective in the treatment of chronic urethroprostatitis and STI.
