[Laser therapy in the complex treatment of prostatic tuberculosis at the sanatorium stage of rehabilitation].

Seventy nine patients with prostatic tuberculosis were examined and treated at the specialized "Glukhovskaya" sanatorium. All the patients were divided into 2 groups: a study group and a control one. In the study group patients, low-intensity laser radiotherapy was additionally performed in combination with etiological and pathogenetical treatments. The performed studies demonstrated that in the patients exposed to low-intensity laser radiation, there was a rapid relief of dysuric symptoms, cessation or diminishment of the signs of copulative dysfunction; positive changes in life quality indices and laboratory parameters were statistically significantly more frequently and more rapidly recorded. Laser therapy simultaneously was found to affect a few links of the pathogenesis of genitourinary tuberculosis, to have limited number of contraindications, to be well tolerated, and to be an effective method of the complex treatment of patients with prostatic tuberculosis during sanatorium rehabilitation.
