Abstract Chronic non bacterial prostatitis has been attributed to several etiologies, including viral and inflammatory causes as well as bladder outlet obstruction and abnormalities of the pelvic floor muscles. Unfortunately, there is a significant rate of recurrent symptoms, which suggests that many patients who are treated empirically for presumed chronic non-bacterial prostatitis may have a different and multifactorialunderling mechanismfor tile cause of the symptoms. Is there any voiding dysfunction associated with chronic non bacterial prostatitis or not. Our study was performed to answer tilis question. In this senes we studied 30 patients with non bacterial prostatitis from December 1996 to December 1998 (diagnosed by clinical and bacteriological studies) were subjected to: - I-Clinical assessment. 2-Complete urine analysis. 3-Stamey’s localization test. 4-Plain urinary tract. S-Intravenouspyelography in some patients. 6-Urodynarnic study including:- A-Uroflowmetry. B- Cystometry. Benha University 84 ~------------ Voiding Dysf. in Cit Non Bact. Prosl. Summary and Conclusion C- Electromyography of the pelvic floor muscle. D- urethral pressure profile. E- Vedio cystourethrogram. from this study we found that our patients complaint mainly from irritative symptoms (76.7 %) mostly burning micturition, the second complaint was the obstructed symptoms (66.7 %), mostly weak stream of urme, the third complaint was pain (63.4 %) mostly in the perineum and lastly the sexual complaint mainly burning ejaculation and premature ejaculation. All our patients were free by clinical examination. The unne analysis revealed pyourea from 3 to 8 C/HPF and Stamey’s localization test revealed pus cells less than 10 C/HPF in the expressed prostatic secretion and the culture (aerobic and anaerobic) revealed no growth. Transrectal ultrasound revealed dilatation of the seminal vesicles in 4 patients (13.3 %). Urodynamic study revealed two patients (6.7 %) had obstructed flow curve by uroflowmetry and 15 patients (50 %) had equivocal flow curve. By cystometry we found that 27 patients had normal cystometry and three patients (10 %) had unstable bladder. In the urethral pressure profile there were 8 patients who had bladder neck contracture which was proved by cystourethroscopy, and electromyography revealed that two patients (6.7 %) had external Benita University 85 Voiding Dysf. in Ch. Non Bact. Prost. Summary and Conclusion sphincteric dyssynergia. Conclusion: The prostatic symptoms, may be caused by many factors either prostatitis, primary bladder neck obstruction, seminal vesiculitis pseudodyssynergia etc ... So those patients with prostatic syndrome should be thoroughly evaluated by laboratory (Stamey’s localization test), radiological (Transrectal ultrasound), and urodynamic tests. Also urodynamic study is a considerable method of evaluation of patients with prostatic syndrome aid in determination of the etiology and its associated factors which should be considered in the treatment. |
