A prospective uncontrolled study of the safety and efficacy of transrectal hyperthermia was performed on 15 patients with chronic abacterial prostatitis or prostatodynia. A total of 6 (1-2 per week) 1-hour sessions of hyperthermia were performed. Subjective improvement was fair in 2 cases and slight in 13 cases (about 87%). The uroflowmetry and the prostatic size measured by transrectal echography did not show any significant changes. The complications were epididymitis (1 case), UTI (1 case) and chlamydial urethritis (2 cases). In conclusion, this therapy seems to achieve the short-term improvement of chronic abacterial prostatitis or prostatodynia.

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).
Aim: To evaluate the efficiency of therapy with Prostatex plus rectal suppositories in the treatment of patients with chronic abacterial prostatitis and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
Materials And Methods: A total of 50 men with chronic abacterial prostatitis of category III A, occurring in combination with BPH, were included in the study. All patients received Prostatex plus (rectal suppositories) 1 suppository 1 time per day.
Introduction: Immune defense mechanisms, including a decrease in the functional activity of monocytes/macrophages, neutrophils, as well as a violation of the balance of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines, are important in the development of chronic abacterial prostatitis (CAP). The discovery of the cytokine system and the determination of their biological role in the development and functioning of the immune system and in the pathogenesis of a wide range of human diseases led to the development of a new direction in immunotherapy - cytokine therapy. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of various regimens of the use of the immunomodulatory drug Superlimf in the prevention of recurrence of CAP.
