One of the most common diseases that affects many men over the age of 35 is prostatitis. This causes many problems for men. Without timely treatment, prostatitis can turn into infertility. Various medications, physiotherapy procedures and home remedies are used to treat prostatitis.
Prostatitis: what is it?
Doctors call prostatitis inflammation of the prostate. The characteristic signs of this disease are frequent urination accompanied by pain. Male urine contains particles of blood and pus, patients very often experience erectile dysfunction, decreased libido and premature ejaculation.
Devices for the treatment of prostatitis in a hospital environment
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 facilitates the penetration of antibacterial substances into the problem area. All tools for the treatment of prostatitis are invasive and non-invasive.
When using invasive treatment methods, special precision of manipulation and the possession of treatment knowledge are required. That is why these methods are only used in hospitals.
Transrectal devices, which act on the prostate through the back wall of the intestine, are particularly popular among doctors.
This effect is quite effective, as it allows for the rapid relief of 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 not as effective as transrectal treatments. Non-invasive methods help speed up drug treatment and have a beneficial effect on blood circulation in the genitals.
We list the main hardware methods of non-invasive treatment:
- Magnetic therapy - this type of treatment is based on the effect of a magnetic field on the area causing the inflammatory process.
- electrical stimulation - the effect on the prostate using microcurrents.
- Vibroacoustics is a type of prostate massage performed with liquid or magnetic field impact waves.
- Laser therapy is an effect on the prostate gland using soft infrared radiation.
