Abstract
Chronic inflammation of the prostate leads to the formation of excess fibrous connective tissue, which hinders patients recovery and aggravates the symptoms. This study aimed to confirm the correlation between inflammation and prostatic fibrosis and the abnormalities of urodynamic and microcirculation in the prostate gland in humans, and the possibility of increasing the effectiveness of treatment of patients with chronic nonbacterial prostatitis using antisclerotic therapy. The study was carried out in two stages. At the first stage, pathomorphological findings, uroflowmetry data and degree of microcirculation disturbance were studied in 18 patients with chronic prostatitis who underwent prostate biopsy. At the second stage, an open prospective randomized comparative study was conducted. Two groups of patients with chronic nonbacterial prostatitis with signs of inflammation were formed. A control group (n=29) received standard treatment, rectal 0.5 methyluracil suppositories three times per week, 20 suppositories per course. In addition to the standard treatment, the patients of the study group (n=31) were administered Longidaza 3000 IU rectal suppositories also three times a week, 20 suppositories per course. Prostatic fibrosis worsens microcirculation by one and half times and statistically significantly negatively affects urodynamic. Using Longidaza resulted in neutralizing the negative consequences of the formation of excess fibrous connective tissue. Overall, an excellent and good effect was achieved in 21 (67.7%) and 9 (29.1%) patients of the study group, respectively; only in one case (3.2%) there was no effect. In the control group, an excellent and good effect was achieved in 14 (48.3%) and 11 (37.9%) patients, respectively; in 4 patients (13.8%) the treatment was considered of low effectiveness. Prevention of the fibrous connective tissue formation and regression of the fibrosis are pathogenetically valid. Anti-sclerotic enzyme therapy with Longidaza in the form of rectal suppositories results in a significant improvement in the symptoms of prostatitis, an increase in the maximum urinary flow rate and an improvement in the microcirculation of the prostate.
