Prostate inflammation is one of the most common diseases that affect many men over 35 years old. This causes a lot of problems for men. Without prompt treatment, prostatitis can progress to infertility. To treat prostatitis, various medications, physiotherapy procedures and devices intended for use at home are used.
Prostatitis: what is it?
Doctors call prostatitis an inflammation of the prostate. The characteristic signs of this disease are frequent urination accompanied by pain. A man's urine contains particles of blood and pus; very often patients suffer from erectile dysfunction, decreased 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. This is a hardware treatment that improves blood circulation and also facilitates the penetration of antibacterial substances into the problem area. All devices intended for the treatment of prostatitis are divided into invasive and non-invasive.
When using invasive methods of treatment, special precision in manipulation is required, as well as the possession of therapeutic skills. This is why these methods are used exclusively in hospitals.
Transrectal devices, which affect the prostate through the back wall of the intestine, are particularly popular with doctors.
This effect is very effective, as it allows you to quickly relieve pain and negative manifestations of the disease, helps to 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 affected by the inflammatory process.
- electrical stimulation – impact on the prostate using microcurrents.
- Vibroacoustics is a type of prostate massage performed using liquid impact waves or a magnetic field.
- Laser therapy is an effect on the prostate using gentle infrared radiation.
Device for UHF therapy
Medical equipment designed to organize therapeutic and prophylactic procedures using a high-frequency electromagnetic field (300-3000 MHz) emitted in the decimeter wave range (length from 1 m to 10 cm) operates using a fieldelectromagnetic. Its use is effective for prostate adenoma, acute and chronic prostatitis, as well as decreased erection. Treatment with the device is carried out 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 blood-forming organs;
- tendency to bleed;
- angina;
- aneurysms of the heart or blood vessels;
- stroke;
- purulent abscesses;
- active form of tuberculosis;
- gangrenous conditions;
- disruption of the rhythm of contraction of the heart muscle;
- cardiovascular failure;
- cachexia;
- serious disorders in the functioning of the thyroid gland.
Thermotherapy device
The device is a thermal radiofrequency device used to treat inflammation of the prostate. It is also indicated in cases of decreased erection, libido and other urological problems.
It affects the organs of the genitourinary system using completely safe radiofrequency pulses. 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 the information graphically. The device is used exclusively in hospitals, as it has a number of serious contraindications. Among the side effects of the device are: urinary retention, exacerbation of inflammatory processes, redness and itching of the skin.
The duration of a treatment is relatively long, 1 to 2 hours. The general course of interventions 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, quantum and microwave preparations of a non-invasive nature, quite easy to use, are used as a device for carrying out magnetic infrared laser therapy for various pathologies of ENT organs or their modification. These devices are used for external exposure, through the skin at the prostate level. The advantage of such devices is that patients do not experience any discomfort during treatment.
In addition, these devices do not require special care or mandatory disinfection after use. Any electrical device intended for prostate treatment 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.
Low dose x-ray machine
The device is used for the complex treatment of prostatitis. His work is based on the influence of acupuncture points. The device allows you to simulate a massage using multi-frequency oscillations of electrical pulses.
The treatment carried out using this device helps to decongest the prostate and increase the body's resistance to fighting infections. This treatment also has an analgesic effect. The device is equipped with accessories which must be placed on the points of the body connected to the prostate:
- 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.
Masseur
This device is a rectal massage device. Its impact is caused by vibrations, 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 effectiveness. Men who used this device to treat prostatitis note that after 4-5 sessions of procedures, swelling decreases, pain disappears, and libido increases.
A session lasts approximately 10 to 15 minutes and the treatment lasts approximately 3 weeks.
Like all electrical devices intended for the treatment of prostatitis, the device has a number of contraindications:
- hemorrhoids;
- 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 principle of operation of the device is based on the effect of a pulsed electromagnetic field of different frequencies on the prostate, which creates a vacuum effect.
This device helps relieve swelling, helps to 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 simple 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 lasts approximately 15 minutes and the treatment duration is approximately 10 to 14 days.
Urological device
The device is a device that emits electromagnetic pulses using two electrodes that compose it. One electrode is inserted into the anus and the other is attached to the lower abdomen.
The device normalizes blood circulation in the prostate, 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 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 treatment is determined by the doctor, taking into account the general condition of the patient and the inflammatory process of the prostate. Treatment with the device is contraindicated for:
- oncological diseases;
- whether 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.
