[Basic diagnostic algorithm in chronic pelvic pain syndrome].

A basic diagnostic algorithm is proposed to improve efficiency of diagnosis of chronic inflammatory prostatitis. It is the sequence of the most necessary methods of examination which helps to clear a category of disease according to classification NIH (1995). A total of 57 patients with symptoms of prostatitis and quantity of leukocytes in the prostatic secretions < 15 per high power field. Use of this diagnostic algorithm allowed diagnosis of category IIIA in 36.8% patients free of inflammatory changes in the first expressed prostatic secretions and category IIIB in 8.8% patients with leukocytic count > 10, but < 15 per high power field. Thus, use of basic diagnostic algorithm in diagnosis of chronic prostatitis changed a category of chronic prostatitis in 45.6% cases among patients examined conventionally.
