[Hyperbaric oxygenation in the treatment of patients with chronic congestive prostatitis and lower fertility].

Due to deteriorated demographic indices in the country, male infertility is a highly pressing problem. Chronic prostatitis is one of its causes. Hyperbaric oxygenation was used to affect male genital microcirculation, thus improving the spermatic morphological and functional characteristics. Positive effects of the method are ascribed not only to better microcirculation, but also to improved redox processes in spermatogenesis.
