Abstract

The paper discusses the possibilities of treating chronic chlamydia prostatitis. The retrospective analysis of literary sources made it possible to conclude that urogenital chlamydia is one of the diseases, which treatment is most difficult due to the fact that many of its manifestations are asymptomatic and it is necessary to diagnose it later when the disease goes into a chronic state. The literature analysis made it possible to suggest that despite numerous studies in this area, the opinions of scientists on this matter vary and there is still no unambiguous view on the role of chlamydia infection in the development of prostatitis, which is largely caused by difficulties in identifying the causative agent in prostate tissue. Although all studies based on the principles of evidence-based medicine confirm that urogenital chlamydia infection can cause urethritis, epididymitis and male infertility. This study also considers the development of a new comprehensive method for diagnostics and treatment of chronic chlamydia prostatitis with the assessment of its efficiency based on molecular biology. The experimental group included 50 patients from 18 to 65 years old: 10 patients with chronic prostatitis caused by C. trachomatis as a single-agent infection; 40 patients with chronic prostatitis with combined chlamydial-mycoplasmal and other urogenital infection. The control group included 20 healthy men without chlamydia and other urogenital infections. A comprehensive clinical and laboratory study made it possible to reliably detect its pathogens and establish a niveau diagnosis, and on this basis to prescribe adequate comprehensive therapy. The treatment results demonstrated high efficiency and high tolerability by patients.
