One of the most common diseases that affects many men over the age of 35 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. The characteristic signs of this disease are frequent urination accompanied by pain. Male urine contains particles of blood and pus; often patients experience erectile dysfunction, decreased libido, and premature ejaculation is 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 a hardware treatment that improves blood circulation and also facilitates the penetration of antibacterial substances into problem areas. All devices for the treatment of prostatitis are divided into invasive and non-invasive.
When using invasive treatment methods, special manipulation accuracy is required, as well as having treatment skills. That is why this method is used exclusively in hospitals.
Especially popular among doctors is the transrectal device, which affects 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, help normalize the patient's condition and prevent the development of complications. Non-invasive treatments are easier to administer but not as effective as transrectal treatments. Non-invasive methods help speed up drug treatment and have a good 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 in the area with the inflammatory process.
- electrical stimulation—effect on the prostate gland using microcurrent.
- vibroacoustic is a type of prostate massage performed using liquid shock waves or magnetic fields.
- Laser therapy is an effect on the prostate gland using soft infrared rays.
Device for UHF therapy
Medical equipment designed to organize treatment and prophylaxis procedures using high-frequency electromagnetic fields (300-3000 MHz) emitted in the decimeter wave range (length from 1 m to 10 cm) operates using electromagnetic fields. Its use is effective for prostate adenoma, acute and chronic prostatitis, as well as erectile dysfunction. Treatment with the device is only performed in a hospital setting.
Doctors do not recommend treatment if a man has:
- possibility of blood clots;
- diseases of the circulatory system and hematopoietic organs;
- tendency to bleed;
- angina pectoris;
- aneurysm of the heart or blood vessels;
- cerebrovascular accident;
- purulent abscess;
- active form of tuberculosis;
- gangrenous condition;
- heart muscle contraction rhythm disorder;
- cardiovascular failure;
- cachexia;
- serious disturbances in the function of the thyroid gland.
Thermotherapy device
The device is a thermal radiofrequency device 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 modes of operation 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. This device is used exclusively in hospitals, as it has several serious contraindications. Among the side effects of the device are the following: urinary retention, worsening of the inflammatory process, redness and itching of the skin.
The duration of one treatment is quite long, 1-2 hours. The general course of procedures and their number is determined by the doctor.
Devices to treat prostatitis at home
At home, various devices are also used to treat prostatitis. For this purpose, a relatively easy-to-use quantum and microwave setup that is non-invasive is used as a device to conduct magnetic infrared laser therapy for various ENT organ pathologies or their modifications. This tool is used for external exposure, through the skin in the prostate area. The advantage of such a device is that the patient does not experience discomfort during the treatment.
Also, this device does not require special care or mandatory disinfection after use. Any electrical device 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 several contraindications:
- the presence of malignant tumors in the prostate or rectum;
- dry cough;
- inflammatory process in the rectum;
- acute inflammation of the prostate gland.
Low dose x-ray machine
This device is used for complex treatment of prostatitis. Its work is based on influencing acupuncture points. This device allows you to simulate a massage thanks to the multi-frequency oscillation of electrical impulses.
The 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. This device is equipped with an attachment that must be placed on the points of the body 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. The effects are caused by vibrations, heat radiation, and magnetic field fluctuations. An electrical device that operates from a network. The device includes: the device itself, the power supply, wires and plastic attachments. The smooth anatomical shape of the nozzle does not cause discomfort when inserted into the anus.
Using the device not only replaces the manual sequence, but also surpasses it in terms of effectiveness. Men who have used this tool to treat prostatitis note that after 4-5 sessions of the procedure, swelling decreases, pain disappears, and libido increases.
One session lasts about 10-15 minutes, and the course of treatment lasts about 3 weeks.
Like all electrical devices for the treatment of prostatitis, this device has several contraindications:
- hemorrhoids;
- acute form of prostate inflammation;
- purulent abscess; the presence of a tumor or cyst formation in the rectum;
- erosion and bleeding in the rectum;
- viral diseases of the genital organs.
Massager for men
The principle of operation of the device is based on the effect of pulsed electromagnetic fields with different frequencies on the prostate gland, which produces a vacuum effect.
This device helps relieve swelling, helps normalize metabolism, has a positive effect on blood vessels, increases sperm volume and improves its composition, and also normalizes the frequency of urination.
The device is quite easy to use: to select a certain mode, you need to specify the parameters on the screen, and then place the genitals in a special compartment of the device. Treatment sessions are approximately 15 minutes and treatment duration is approximately 10–14 days.
Urological instruments
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.
This 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 drugs taken by the patient is enhanced.
The duration of the procedure increases gradually: the first procedure should last no more than 5 minutes, and the last procedure lasts 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;
- exacerbation of infectious diseases;
- mental disorder.
A device for vibration sequencing using a magnetic field
This equipment is a vibrating massager that affects the prostate gland using heat, vibration and a magnetic field. This device has a unique design and does not require insertion of the applicator into the anus.
This device has a good effect on the patient's health, it eliminates inflammation and has almost no side effects.
The device includes a vibration pad and a control panel. Starting the treatment, the man sits on the pillow and selects the desired program on the remote control. One procedure lasts about 30 minutes. For a good treatment effect, the procedure should be carried out 1-2 times a day. The course of treatment is about two weeks.
