Effect of dietary modification-assisted multimodal therapy on chronic prostatitis
Objective:To explore the effect of dietary modification-assisted multimodal therapy in the prevention and treatment of chronic prostatitis.Methods:A total of 132 cases of chronic prostatitis treated in the Outpatient Department of our hospital were randomly divided into an observation group(n=68)and a control group(n=64),the former following the Mediterranean dietary pattern,the latter adhering to their own dietary habits,and meanwhile both receiving lifestyle guidance,psychological counseling,symptomatic medication and physiotherapy according to their specific symptoms.The patients were followed up for 4 weeks,therapeutic effects were observed and comparisons were made between the two groups in the NIH-CPSI scores before and after treatment.Re-sults:Compared with the baseline,the quality of life(QOL)scores,pain and urination discomfort scores and total NIH-CPSI scores were significantly decreased in both the observation and the control groups after treatment(P<0.05),even more decreased in the former than in the latter,but with no statistically significant difference between the two(P>0.05).The rate of therapeutic effective-ness was higher in the observation group than in the control(87.1%vs 79.7%,but showed no statistically significant difference be-tween the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion:Multimodal therapy is suitable for the management of different clinical manifesta-tions of individual patients,while dietary habits vary from person to person as well as from region to region.Therefore,scientific dietary modification for the prevention and treatment of CP/CPPS needs further exploration.
