Doctor Experiences
Clinical experiences of doctors who have treated their patients with phage therapy

Senior Consultant Urologist
Yatharth Hospital, Noida, UP
My clinical experience of phage therapy showed significant effectiveness in 15 patients with prostatitis. Patients received phagesorally, intravesically or per rectally. Clinical effectiveness observed by doing two DRE (Digital Rectal Examination) and EPS (Expressed Prostatic Secretion) cultures post phage therapy.
The following were the findings observed after phage therapy:
- Significant reduction in prostate tenderness or size
- Significant reduction in EPS volume
- Reduction in EPS leukocyte counts
- Increase in maximum urine flow
- Reduction in Dysuria / frequency of urination
- No significant side effects

Consultant Urologist
Hinduja Hospital, Mumbai
My experience of phage therapy is with 3 patients presenting with prostatitis, urethritis and UTI.
Given here is the case presentation of the clinical summary of my first patient treated with phage therapy:
- 42 year old male, presented with typical symptoms of prostatitis and urethritis.
- Patient was treated with multiple antibiotics. His symptoms showed partial improvements, with relapse within few weeks of completing course. The side effects from the multiple antibiotics courses were intolerable.
- Patient was then suggested phage therapy. We followed the prescription from the urologist at the Eliava clinic. Phages were delivered rectally, orally and via urethral instillation. Patient was quickly into remission with many symptoms resolving over 3 months.
