Introduction: Despite all the achievements of modern medicine, chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) remains a difficult disorder to treat. Patients are often dissatisfied with the treatment outcomes, since the main symptoms, namely pain and urination disorders, usually decrease, but do not completely resolve.
Aim: To study the efficiency of the combined drug Prostatex Plus in the treatment of patients with CPPS (IIIb).
Introduction: Urolithiasis and nephrotuberculosis, due to the similarity of the radiographic patterns, share the same differential diagnosis list. The study aimed to analyze the incidence of co-occurrence of nephrotuberculosis and urolithiasis and to determine the impact of urolithiasis on the clinical course of renal tuberculosis.
Material And Methods: This open cohort retrospective study comprised 843 patients with renal tuberculosis and 245 patients with urolithiasis.
We attempted to skip the antibiotic therapy in 17 patients with acute uncomplicated cystitis in the early time of presentation (up to 12 hours from the disease onset). All patients received ketoprofen (Flamax forte) 100 mg once daily for 5 days and the combined herbal preparation KanefronH 2 tablets t.i.

Material And Methods: Open pilot prospective non-comparative study was conducted to test the effectiveness of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) using Aries (Dornier) machine in patients with chronic prostatitis (CP) of IIIb category.
Introduction: Modern TB patient has lost the physical appearance (habitus phtisicus) typical for the previous years. Moreover, patients with different tuberculosis localizations also have different anthropomorphic characteristics.
Material And Methods: To determine anthropomorphic characteristics of patients with tuberculosis of the prostate, several parameters were compared between 95 male patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and 49 patients with prostatic tuberculosis.
In its 2012 global report on tuberculosis, the World Health Organization estimated that 3-7% (range 2.1-5.2%) of new cases and 20% (range 13-26%) of previously treated cases had multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (defined as tuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates that are resistant to rifampicin and isoniazid).

The diagnosis and treatment of this disorder presents numerous challenges for urologists, most notably, a lack of specific and effective diagnostic methods.
Methods: To improve the diagnostics the comparison of classic 4-glass test Meares and Stamey, 2-glass tests and 3-glass test was conducted in 177 men suspicious for chronic prostatitis.
