One of the most common diseases that affects many men over 35 years of age is inflammation of the prostate gland. It causes a lot of problems for men. Without timely treatment, prostatitis can develop into infertility. To treat prostatitis, various drugs, physiotherapy procedures, and devices intended for use at home are used.
Prostatitis: what is it?
Doctors call prostatitis an inflammation of the prostate gland. Characteristic signs of this disease are frequent urination accompanied by pain. A man's urine contains particles of blood and pus; very often patients experience erectile dysfunction, a decrease in libido, and premature ejaculations are possible.
Devices for the treatment of prostatitis in a hospital setting
Hardware treatment of prostatitis has a very positive effect on the production of enzymes necessary for the normal functioning of the reproductive system. It is hardware treatment that improves blood circulation and also facilitates the penetration of antibacterial substances to the problem area. All devices for the treatment of prostatitis are divided into invasive and non-invasive.
When using invasive treatment methods, special precision of manipulation is required, as well as the possession of treatment skills. That is why these methods are used exclusively in hospitals.
Particularly popular among doctors are transrectal devices, which affect the prostate through the back wall of the intestine.
This effect is quite effective, as it allows you to quickly relieve pain and negative manifestations of the disease, helps normalize the patient’s condition and prevents the development of complications. Non-invasive treatments are easier to administer but are not as effective as transrectal treatments. Non-invasive methods help speed up drug treatment and have a beneficial effect on blood circulation in the genital area.
We list the main hardware methods of non-invasive treatment:
- Magnetic therapy - this type of treatment is based on the action of a magnetic field on the area with the inflammatory process.
- electrical stimulation—impact on the prostate gland using microcurrents.
- vibroacoustics is a type of prostate massage that is performed using impact waves of liquid or a magnetic field.
- laser therapy is an effect on the prostate gland using soft infrared radiation.
Device for UHF therapy
Medical equipment designed for organizing treatment and prophylactic procedures using a high-frequency (300-3000 MHz) electromagnetic field emitted in the decimeter wave range (length from 1 m to 10 cm) operates using an electromagnetic field. Its use is effective for prostate adenoma, acute and chronic prostatitis, as well as decreased erection. Treatment with the device is performed only in a hospital setting.
Doctors do not recommend treatment if a man has:
- the likelihood of blood clots;
- diseases of the circulatory system and hematopoietic organs;
- tendency to bleed;
- angina pectoris;
- aneurysms of the heart or blood vessels;
- cerebrovascular accident;
- purulent abscesses;
- active form of tuberculosis;
- gangrenous conditions;
- disturbance of the rhythm of contraction of the heart muscle;
- cardiovascular failure;
- cachexia;
- serious disturbances in the functioning of the thyroid gland.
Thermotherapy device
The device is a thermal radiofrequency device that is used to treat inflammation of the prostate gland. It is also indicated for decreased erection, libido and other urological problems.
It affects the organs of the genitourinary system thanks to radiofrequency impulses, which are completely safe. Different operating modes of the device allow the patient to choose the desired treatment regimen and power. The device has a backup memory, connects to a computer, and presents information in the form of graphs. The device is used exclusively in hospitals, as it has a number of serious contraindications. Among the side effects of the device are the following: urinary retention, exacerbation of inflammatory processes, redness and itching of the skin.
The duration of one treatment is relatively long, 1–2 hours. The general course of procedures and their number are determined by the doctor.
Devices for treating prostatitis at home
At home, various devices are also used to treat prostatitis. For this purpose, fairly easy-to-use quantum and microwave preparations of a non-invasive nature are used as a device for conducting magnetic-infrared laser therapy for various pathologies of the ENT organs or its modification. These devices are used for external exposure, through the skin in the prostate area. The advantage of such devices is that patients do not experience discomfort during treatment.
Also, these devices do not require special care or mandatory disinfection after use. Any electrical devices for the treatment of the prostate gland can only be used after diagnosis. Treatment is prescribed exclusively by a doctor. Carrying out hardware effects on the prostate is undesirable if there are a number of contraindications:
- the presence of malignant tumors in the prostate or rectum;
- tuberculosis;
- inflammatory processes in the rectum;
- acute inflammation of the prostate gland.
Low dose x-ray machine
The device is used for complex treatment of prostatitis. His work is based on influencing acupuncture points. The device allows you to simulate a massage thanks to multi-frequency oscillations of electrical impulses.
Treatment carried out using this device allows you to remove congestion in the prostate gland and increase the body's resistance to fight infection. This treatment also has an analgesic effect. The device is equipped with attachments that must be placed on those points of the body that are connected to the prostate gland:
- under the head of the clavicle;
- above or below the inside of the ankle;
- above the first, second sacral foramen or at the outer end of the coccyx;
- at a distance of 2. 5, 5 or 7. 5 cm below the navel.
Massager
This device is a device for rectal massage. Its impact is caused by vibration, thermal radiation, and magnetic field fluctuations. An electrical device that operates from the network. The device includes: the device itself, a power supply, a wire and a plastic attachment. The smooth anatomical shape of the nozzle does not cause discomfort when inserted into the anus.
Using the device not only replaces manual massage, but also surpasses it in terms of effectiveness. Men who have used this device to treat prostatitis note that after 4-5 sessions of procedures, swelling decreases, pain goes away, and libido increases.
One session lasts about 10–15 minutes, and the course of treatment lasts approximately 3 weeks.
Like all electrical devices for the treatment of prostatitis, the device has a number of contraindications:
- haemorrhoids;
- acute form of prostate inflammation;
- purulent abscesses; the presence of tumors or cystic formations in the rectum;
- erosion and bleeding in the rectum;
- viral diseases of the genital organs.
Massage device for men
The operating principle of the device is based on the effect of a pulsating electromagnetic field with different frequencies on the prostate gland, which creates a vacuum effect.
This device helps relieve swelling, helps normalize metabolism, has a positive effect on blood vessels, increases the amount of sperm and improves its composition, and also normalizes the frequency of urination.
The device is quite easy to use: to select a specific mode, you need to specify the parameters on the screen, and then place the genital organ in a special compartment of the device. The treatment session is approximately 15 minutes and the duration of treatment is approximately 10–14 days.
Urological apparatus
The device is a device that emits electromagnetic pulses using two electrodes included in its composition. One electrode is inserted into the anus, and the other is attached to the lower abdomen.
The device normalizes blood circulation in the prostate gland, relieves inflammation, swelling and spasms, accelerates metabolism, and also has a beneficial effect on the condition of prostate cells. When treated with the device, the overall effect of the medications taken by the patient is enhanced.
The duration of the procedures is increased gradually: the first procedure should last no more than 5 minutes, and the last procedures last about 12 minutes. The duration of the entire course of treatment is determined by the doctor, taking into account the general condition of the patient and the inflammatory process in the prostate gland. Treatment with the device is contraindicated for:
- oncological diseases;
- if the patient has a pacemaker installed;
- tendency to sudden bleeding;
- stroke or heart attack;
- blood diseases;
- poor blood clotting;
- exacerbations of infectious diseases;
- mental disorders.
