Prostate inflammations, a role of alpha-blockers in the treatment of symptoms of disease Chronic inflammatory diseases of a prostate represent „crux urologicum“ by their symptoms and persistent complaints of patients. Over 30 % of patients have different urinary symptoms. One treatment possibility to interfere with lower urinary tract symptoms can be administration of alpha blockers in different doses. I present experiences of our centre with alpha blockers administration in patients with chronic bacterial and abacterial prostatitis (NIH II and NIH III). Combination therapy with antimicrobial agents and alpha-blockers leads to relief in symptoms of a disease in patients with chronic prostatitis and therefore to increase of life quality. Key words: alpha blockers, chronic prostatitis.
