女子再発性膀胱炎に於ける膀胱頸部及び尿道の研究

Abstract

One hundred and fourteen female patients came t o the Department of Urology, Osaka University Medical School since 1958, with complaints of chronic recurring cystitis but with clear urine and essentially negative cystoscopic findings. They were subjected to the urethroscopy, stripping of the anterior vaginal wall, measurement of residual urine, urethral smear and microscopic examination of resected tissue of the bladder neck and urethra. Following changes were found to exist in the bladder neck and urethra in a s many as ninety cases of the 114, or 78.9%; granular urethritis, polyp, endocrine cystopathia, bladder neck contracture, urethral stricture and urethral diverticulum. This fact indicates the serious importance of pa t hologies of the bladder neck and urethra in chronic recurring cystitis in women, requiring their correct diagnosis and adequate treatment.
