Abstract

The aim of the study was to establish the clinical and morphological characteristics offemale urethral polyps including cases with concomitant sexually transmitted infections. A total of 150 women were enrolled in the study. The evaluation of microcirculatory changes, morphological parameters and immunogram indices of urethral polyps were carried out. The most common infectious agent in patients with urethral polyps was Ureaplasma urealyticum. In those cases predominance of inflammatory symptoms and elevated levels of serum proinflammatory cytokines were identified. It is found that the pronounced inflammatory reaction leads to an increase in the relative area of the subepithelial microvascular bed and the cellular elements population of lamina mucosa propria, as well as to the relative predominance of congestive forms of microcirculation disturbances according to the laser Doppler flowmetry.
