Chronic bacterial prostatitis associated with androgen deficiency

Abstract

Inflammation of the prostate gland occupies a significant proportion of inflammatory diseases of the genitourinary system. According to J. Potts et al. (2007), prostatitis is detected in 5–10% of the general male population. Today, one of the main problems associated with prostatitis is the narrowly targeted, often unwarranted treatment with its antibacterial drugs without taking into account the multifactorial nature of the pathogenesis and androgen dependence of the prostate gland. As a result, this leads to ineffective treatment of prostatitis amid growing antibiotic resistance. In turn, recent studies demonstrate key issues of testosterone and prostate gland relationship. These researches show that prostate metabolism is dependent on testosterone levels. The level of the hormone affects the course of chronic inflammation in the prostatic tissues. And also, that the number of bacterial agents that provoke pathological processes in the prostatic parenchyma directly depends on the degree of decrease in testosterone levels. This point of view is also supported by other studies. It was found that most patients with inflammation of the prostate gland had androgen deficiency, and correction of testosterone levels of these patients was highly effective in the treatment of chronic prostatitis. Thus, the androgen dependence of the prostate gland and the effect of hypogonadism on the incidence of prostatic parenchymal inflammatory changes allow us to radically revise the approach to the diagnosis and treatment of chronic bacterial prostatitis. The development and implementation of new algorithms in which the diagnosis and subsequent correction of concomitant androgenic are becoming a promising direction for this group of patients.
