Chronic prostatitis (CP) is a common condition that predispose to recurrence and development of complications. The 100 patients with CP participated in the research devoted to assessment of opportunities of the extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT). 73 of them have had CP complicated with prostatic calculi. All patients have had ESWT complex treatment on the “Dornier Aries ”. The results of treatment were estimated on a scale of CP symptoms called NIH - CPSI (National Institutes of Health - Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index) and on prostatolithiasis level. Course patients with CP had insignificant positive dynamics immediately after ESWT: the number of points on a scale of symptoms totally decreased from 20.5 to 18.0, however the mean points decreased on average up to 9.8 in a month. The secretion of prostate was debrided in 67.9 % of CP patients with complicated prostatolithiasis in 3 months after ESWT combined with phytotherapy by drug canephron n; the amount of pain has decreased for 86.7 %, urination disturbance level - for 65.2 %, prostatolithiasis level - for 60.9 %. ESWT peformed on “Dornier Aries ” is highly effective in patients with CP of IIIа, b category and in prostatolithiasis.
