[Therapeutic experiences of seishinrenshiin in patients with equivocal complaints of the lower urinary tract].

To study its clinical effect, Tsumura Seishinrenshiin, was administered to male patients of chronic prostatitis and urethritis with various equivocal complaints of the lower urinary tract and female patients complaining of cystitoid symptoms inspite of normal urine. These subjects were 35 males, 20 to 69 years and 7 females 22 to 78 years. For the patients who had constitutionally infirm stomach and intestines the rate of effectiveness reached 41%, which was rather satisfactory. For the other patients, however, it was only 28%. Besides no correlation was observed between the age of patient and the effectiveness. A combined administration of antibiotics and antibacterial agents led to no increase in the effectiveness. All of the side effects were rather slight, which permitted its continuous administration over a period of more than 4 weeks. From the above findings Seishinrenshiin was expected to be both effective for the patients who have constitutionally infirm stomach and intestines and can be used safely.
