Эффективность комбинированной терапии негонококковых уретритов у мужчин

Abstract

To carry out a comparative assessment of the efficiency of combination therapy for non-gonococcal urethritis (NGU) in men.a total of 124 patients with NGU and laboratory-confirmed urogenital infection were included in the study. The diagnostic methods included microscopy of urethral smear, real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for the detection of uropathogens and laser Doppler flowmetry for evaluating the urethral microcirculation. All patients were randomized into three groups matched for age, clinical manifestations, and disease duration. Patients of the group 1 received targeted antibiotic therapy. In the group 2, local peloid therapy was added, while patients in group 3 additionally received vibromagnetotherapy. The control group consisted of 22 patients aged 18 to 55 years. The study included 2 visits, at the baseline and 4 weeks after the end of treatment.After the treatment, the frequency of microbiological cure was 89%. In the group 3, more pronounced improvement in main symptoms of NGU was observed. The analysis of microcirculation after treatment in the groups 2 and 3 showed a significant increase in perfusion and modulation of urethral blood flow and a decrease in venous congestion after combined therapy.The combined treatment, including antibiotic, peloid therapy, and vibromagnetotherapy, promotes more pronounced clinical improvement, restoration of urethral microcirculation and relief of inflammatory process in patients with NGU and can be recommended for routine clinical practice.
