ASSESSMENT OF THE EFFICIENCY OF THE APPLICATION OF THE COWBERRY AND BLUEBARRY PASTE IN COMPLEX TREATMENT OF CHRONIC BACTERIAL PROSTATITIS

Abstract

In order to evaluate the eff ectiveness of cowberry and blueberry pastes in the complex treatment of chronic bacterial prostatitis, 72 patients of the Men’s Health clinic in Kyiv were examined. According to the survey results, 2 symmetric groups of 23 patients were formed. The main group was treated according to the model: antibiotic therapy, auxiliary pharmacotherapy (venotonic drugs and enzymes), local physiotherapy and diet therapy with the inclusion of cowberry and blueberry pastes. The control group received a similar treatment, but without changing the diet.Evaluating the eff ectiveness of cowberry and blueberry pastes in the complex treatment of chronic bacterial prostatitis shows that patients treated with the inclusion of homogenized cowberry and blueberry pastes in the diet demonstrate a lower intensity of symptoms of chronic bacterial prostatitis (according to the I-PSS scale) 3 months after treatment, namely: “urination urgency” and “subjective reduction in the quality of life” (p=0.03).
