Complicated etiopathogenesis of chronic prostatitis, presence of various complications and lack of an effective single treatment method make it imperative to develop a widespread introduction of new methods into the clinical practice. All this was a rationale for the use of the combined effects of interference currents and vacuum massage for patients with chronic bacterial prostatitis. The study included 60 patients aged 25-50 years with chronic bacterial prostatitis in the latent phase of inflammation. The study was conducted on a comparative aspect basis of the three randomized groups of patients (n = 20), comparable for all criteria, divided depending on the methods applied in two treatment and one control group. In this case, the originally assigned standard medication treatment was an obligatory component in all three groups. The study showed a high clinical efficacy of the use of vacuum-Interference in the patients with chronic bacterial prostatitis.
