Résumé
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the etiologic relationship between sexually transmitted diseases(STDs) and chronic prostatitis (CP), and to evaluate the effect of multiple treatment on CP following STDs.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Seventy-two cases of CP after STDs were randomly divided into three groups: Group A (treated with levefloxatin), Group B (treated with Levofloxacin, terazosin and microwave), and Group C (treated with levofloxacin, Chinese traditional medicine and microwave), all treated for thirty days. The pathogens related to STDs in the prostatic fluid of all the patients had been examined before treatment. The efficacy was evaluated among the three groups by comparing the count of leukocytes and the scores of NIH-CPSI before and after treatment.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The pathogens related to STDs were found in the prostatic fluid of 7 patients. The count of leukocytes and the scores of NIH-CPSI decreased after treatment in the three groups, more markedly in Groups B and C than in Group A.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>There is no strict etiological causality between STDs and CP. Multiple treatments are superior to single antibiotic treatment.</p>
