Laboratory criteria for effectiveness of magnetic and ozone therapy for chronic bacterial prostatitis

Introduction. Assuming the relevance of optimization of treatment for patients with chronic bacterial prostatitis (CP) we performed the study to evaluate efficacy of combined magnet therapy and ozone therapy in such patients. Materials and methods. This study included 154 patients with bacterial CP: 43 patients received standard therapy (antibacterial drugs, а-adrenergic blockers, enzymes, vitamins, antiaggregants, prostatic massage) up to 6 weeks, 38 additionally received tran-srectal magnet therapy, 40 additionally received transrectal ozone therapy, and 33 additionally received transrectal magnet and ozone therapy. Outcomes were evaluated 3 months after treatment using the following criteria: number of leukocytes and lecithin granules in prostatic secretions, eradication of bacteria causing CP by the cultural study. Results. The most pronounced positive dynamics by all three studied parameters was observed in the group of patients where we used both treatment methods: magnet therapy and ozone therapy...
