[A method and the clinico-laboratory results of laser therapy for patients with chronic prostatitis].

Abstract

Local exposures to low-intensity laser radiation (LILR) in chronic prostatis (CP) patients diminish basic symptoms of the disease (pain, dysuria, sex disorders, objective picture). Clinical response was obtained in 93.2% of cases. LILR markedly improved prostatic function, promoted trends to normalization of quantitative and biochemical ejaculate composition. LILR may act as antiaggregator contributing to less ejaculate viscosity and stimulate spermatozoal activity and motility. The above results were seen in 72.4-80% of the exposed patients. CP laser therapy should be wider introduced in clinical practice because its resolving, antiedema, anti-inflammatory, analgetic and deaggregation effects potential.
