Complex investigation №1 Florocenos for men
Urogenital tract infections pose a serious threat to reproductive health, especially because of the prevalence of asymptomatic or mild forms, which often become chronic. This leads to late treatment and the development of complications.
Current research shows that disturbances in microbiocenosis are associated with the development of the following conditions:
- Сhronic prostatitis - in 40-50% of cases is caused by opportunistic bacteria (Ureaplasma spp., Mycoplasma hominis, Candida spp.).
- Male infertility - up to 15% of cases are due to infections affecting the testicular appendages, seminal vesicles or prostate.
- Prostate cancer - studies suggest a possible role of chronic inflammatory processes in the etiology of malignant tumors.
The microbiota of the male genital tract is divided into:
- Normoflora (normobiota) - includes Staphylococcus epidermidis and other bacteria that maintain balance.
- Conditionally pathogenic microorganisms - when their balance is disturbed, they cause disease (e.g., Ureaplasma urealyticum, Candida albicans).
- Absolute pathogens - causative agents of sexually transmitted infections (Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Trichomonas vaginalis, Micoplasma Genitalium).
The difference between florocenoses is that Florocenosis #1 includes NCMT (Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Chlamydia trachomatis, Mycoplasma genitalium, Trichomonas vaginalis), while Florocenosis #2 includes only opportunistic flora.
Why is it important to undergo the analysis?
Microbiological disorders can cause chronic inflammation, infertility, potency disorders and even contribute to the development of prostate cancer. Microbiota testing can help prevent complications and preserve men's reproductive health.
The analysis is performed using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method, the gold standard of molecular diagnostics.
Advantages of PCR:
- Detection of pathogens even at low concentrations.
- Detection of asymptomatic infections, which account for up to 70% of cases.
- Elimination of false positives and false negatives due to the high specificity of the method.
