ABSTRACT
Tuberculosis remains an important medical and socio-demographic problem. Chronic inflammation of the prostate gland--of both non- specific and tuberculous etiology--reduces the quality of the ejaculate; this in the initial low level of fertility in a population can have dramatic effects. Infertility can be the first symptom prompting the patient to visit a doctor; and patient is diagnosed with tuberculosis after survey. However, the influence of tuberculosis of the prostate on the functional parameters of ejaculate has not been studied. The positive influence of selenium and zinc preparations on the quality of the ejaculate in patients with chronic nonspecific prostatitis, idiopathic infertility was demonstrated, but the effectiveness of their complex use in tuberculosis of the prostate gland has not been studied.
