Abstract
For the evaluation of the effectiveness of combined herbal drug ”prolit super septo” in the prevention of exacerbations of chronic bacterial prostatitis, an open prospective comparative ”case-control” study, which included 54 patients with a diagnosis of chronic bacterial prostatitis was performed. 27 patients received standard etiopathogenic therapy; other 27 patients in addition to standard therapy received prolit super septo 2 capsules twice a day for two months. 6 months after treatment, it was found that exacerbations occurred in 4 (14.8%) patients in the comparison group, and in 2 (7.4%) patients in the main group who received prolit super septo; in other patients sustained remission was achieved. In patients in the comparison group, the pain intensity of 3.2 points has persisted, and 2.8 points - in patients in the study group. A moderate increase of white blood count in the prostate secretion was more than 1.5 times often detected in the control group by than in the group of patients taking a prolit. Clinically significant bacterial growth was not observed in any patient. Quality of life of patients in the study group increased by 4.6 points, and in the comparison group - by 4.2 points
