[Clinical study of zinc for the treatment of chronic bacterial prostatitis].

AbstractOBJECTIVE:
To study the efficacy of biological organic zinc in the treatment of chronic bacterial prostatitis (CBP).
METHODS:
Sixty-one CBP patients were randomized into two groups: Group A (39 cases) was supplemented with organic zinc after routine antibiotic treatment, Group B (22 cases) was given routine antibiotic treatment only. NIH-CPIS (including pain, urinary symptoms, quality of life) and urodynamic indexes were used to evaluate the efficacy of biological organic zinc in the treatment of CBP.
RESULTS:
The NIH-CPIS (including pain, urinary symptoms, quality of life) and the maximum urethra closure pressure (MUCP) were markedly decreased after the zinc treatment, compared with the non-zinc group(P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION:
It is suggested that biological organic zinc is effective for the treatment of CBP.
