Prospective Study on Association of Prostatic Calcifications with Clinical Symptoms and Results of Treatment in Men with type III prostatitis

Abstract The purpose is to investigate the clinical significance of prostatic calculi in patients with chronic prostatitis and to discuss the possible treatment.The data from 277 young males with CP/CPPS were analyzed prospectively. Symptom severity was measured using the National Institutes of Heal...

Symptom severity was measured using the National Institutes of Health Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index (NIH-CPSI) and the International Prostatic Symptoms Score (IPSS). Sexual function was assessed by the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) questionnaire. After four weeks of therapy, the NIH-CPSI, IPSS, and IIEF-5 tests were repeated. The variables were compared between patients with and without prostatic calcifications using the Students t-test or chi-square test. No significant differences were found between CP/CPPS patients with and without prostatic calcifications regarding age, body mass index, prostate volume, CPSI, IPSS and IIEF-5. Men with calcifications endured symptoms significantly longer (37.9 ± 25.2 versus 19.0 ± 16.4 months, P < 0.01), and had significantly higher white blood cell counts per high power field in expressed prostatic secretions (7.7 ± 12.8 versus 3.9 ± 4.7; P < 0.01), than patients without prostatic calcifications, who responded better to medication compared with patients with prostatic calcifications. In conclusion, patients with calcifications were more likely to have category IIIA disease and they required a longer medication period.Xiang FeiWei JinShengyu HuaYan SongNature PortfolioarticleMedicineRScienceQENScientific Reports, Vol 7, Iss 1, Pp 1-6 (2017)
