Possibilities of magnetic resonance imagraphy in the diagnosis of inflammatory changes in the paraurethral glands in women

Introduction. Inflammation of the paraurethral glands (skeneitis) is a complex urological disease, often hidden under the guise of other pathological conditions and causing recurrent lower urinary tract infection (UTI) in women. A significant problem for the diagnosis of skineitis at present is the absence or extremely low sensitivity and specificity of available laboratory, instrumental and radiation methods. Thus, the search for new ways to examine patients with recurrent UTI caused by chronic inflammation of the Skene’s glands is an important clinical and socio-economic task of modern healthcare.
