[Features of the incidence of cystitis depending on the type of contraception].

For the purpose of evaluation the effect of contraceptive methods on the incidence of recurrent bacterial cystitis in women, 215 clinical records of patients with cystitis were analyzed. In addition, incidence of recurrent cystitis in three groups of sexually active women of reproductive age was compared: 26 patients (Group 1) received conventional therapy and used condom as a method of contraception; 31 patients (Group 2) received combined oral contraceptives (COC), and 32 patients (Group 3) received COC and two courses of treatment with canephrone. A negative correlation between COC use and the risk of cystitis was detected.

[Urogenital tuberculosis today].

In order to analyze the structure of urogenital tuberculosis, retrospective analysis of medical records of 131 patients with newly diagnosed urogenital tuberculosis observed in the Novosibirsk Regional TB Dispensary from 2009 to 2011 was performed. The renal tuberculosis is main form in the structure is urotuberculosis, detected in 75% of patients, and widespread destructive forms of the disease were diagnosed in more than half of cases.

[Overactive bladder as a mask of chronic prostatitis].

In order to investigate the frequency of symptoms of overactive bladder (OAB) in patients with chronic prostatitis and determine the effectiveness of trospium chloride in their treatment, the analysis of case histories of 154 patients referred to a urologist for the exacerbation of chronic prostatitis was performed. 27 (17.5%) patients had a diagnosis of overactive bladder; in 19 patients it was accompanied by chronic prostatitis, and in 8 patients OAB was diagnosed as separate disease.

[A comparative study of efficacy of 2-, 3- and 4-glass tests in patients with chronic prostatitis].

To compare informative value of three tests (2-, 3- and 4-glass) in diagnosis ofprostatitis we examined 177 patients with chronic prostatitis (CP) who were randomized into 4 groups. Group 1 patients (n = 33) were examined with standard 4-glass test (Mearls and Stamey), patients of subgroup 2a (n = 42) were examined with 2-glass test before finger rectal test (FRT), FRT was made in subgroup 2b (n = 45) before urine collection (2 portions), group 3 (n = 57) was examined by an original technique proposed by the authors. While performing the latter test special focus was given to urination continuity, then the secretion obtained at FRT was studied.
