ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the effectiveness of three-drug (Relingqing, Prostant and Antibiotic) therapy to chronic prostatitis. Methods One hundred and twenty patients were randomly divided into 2 groups three-drug treatment group (n=80) and antibiotic only group (n=40). After treated for 12 weeks, 120 cases of chronic prostatitis were evaluated with the pre- and post-massage test (PPMT) and chronic prostatitis symptom index (CPSI). Results In three-drug treatment group, 15 patients in 21 patients of type Ⅱ and 41 patients in 59 patients of type ⅢA were normal evaluated by PPMT. From the results of CPSI, the cure rate was 13.8% (11 cases), the symptoms of 48 patients (60.0%) were improved significantly whose CPSI decreased more than 15, and only 16 patients(20.0%)felt a little better whose CPSI decreased from 5 to 15, and the symptoms of 5 patients were not improved. There was statistical difference among three-drug treatment group and antibiotic only group. Conclusion The three-drug treatment is more effective in treating chronic prostatitis than the therapy of antibiotic only.
