Measurements of urinary flow rate were performed in 16 patients with established prostatitis before and after a course of antimicrobial therapy. Before treatment the maximum flow rates were poor with abnormal flow curves and significant improvement in voiding characteristics were observed with treatment (P less than 0.01). A preliminary electrophysiological (EMG) study of sphincter activity suggested that the obstruction to the flow of urine was at least in part due to failure of the external sphincter to relax during micturition. Although the total number of cases in this series was small the study showed that prostatitis was associated with a disorder of micturition which correlated with the other clinical features of the disease and could be objectively evaluated. Eradication of infection restored normal conditions in the lower urinary tract.
对16例确诊前列腺炎患者在抗菌治疗疗程前后进行了尿流率测量。治疗前最大尿流率不佳,尿流曲线异常,治疗后排尿特征有显著改善(P<0.01)。一项关于括约肌活动的初步电生理(肌电图)研究表明,尿流梗阻至少部分是由于排尿时外括约肌未能松弛所致。尽管本系列病例总数较少,但该研究表明前列腺炎与排尿障碍有关,这种障碍与疾病的其他临床特征相关,且可进行客观评估。感染的根除恢复了下尿路的正常状态。
