Сочетанное развитие хронического простатита и возрастного андрогенного дефицита

Probability, period of development and characteristics of a clinical course of chronic prostatitis against the background of androgen deficiency in the aging males were studied. The Aging Males' Symptoms (AMS) rating scale was applied for androgen deficiency evaluation and the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) – for chronic prostatitis evaluation. 57 men with chronic prostatitis in combination with androgen age-related deficiency were examined. We concluded that development of chronic prostatitis against a background of androgen age-related deficiency occurs in a shorter period and about 1.5 times more frequently compared to androgen age-related deficiency against a background of chronic prostatitis. The analysis of time periods between onset of chronic prostatitis symptoms against a background of androgen age-related deficiency and androgen age-related deficiency symptoms against a background of chronic prostatitis showed that androgen age-related deficiency symptoms were evidenced 1-2 year earlier the onset of chronic prostatitis. The development of androgen age-related deficiency against a background of chronic prostatitis showed a backward tendency. Signs of chronic prostatitis have been most frequently occurred four-five years earlier the androgen age-related deficiency development.
