One of the most common diseases that affects many men over the age of 35 is inflammation of the prostate. It causes a lot of problems for men. Without timely treatment, prostatitis can turn into infertility. Different drugs, physiotherapy procedures and devices intended for home use 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. Men's urine contains particles of blood and pus, very 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 facilitates the penetration of antibacterial substances into the problem area. All devices for the treatment of prostatitis are divided into invasive and non-invasive.
When applying invasive treatment methods, special manipulation precision is required, as well as the possession of treatment skills. This is why these methods are used exclusively in hospitals.
Particularly popular among doctors are transrectal devices that act on 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 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:
- Magnetotherapy - this type of treatment is based on the effect of a magnetic field on the area with an inflammatory process.
- electrical stimulation - impact on the prostate using microcurrents.
- vibroacoustics is a type of prostate massage that is performed with liquid shock waves or a magnetic field.
- laser therapy is an effect on the prostate using soft infrared radiation.

Different modes of operation of the device allow the patient to choose the desired treatment regimen and strength. The device has backup memory, connects to a computer and displays 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, worsening 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 is determined by the doctor.
Devices for the treatment of prostatitis at home
At home, various devices are used to treat prostatitis. For this purpose, rather easy-to-use quantum and microwave devices of a non-invasive nature are used as a device for conducting magnetic-infrared laser therapy for various pathologies of the ENT organ or its modifications. These devices are used for external exposure, through the skin in the prostate area. The advantage of such devices is that patients do not feel discomfort during treatment.
Also, these devices do not require special care or mandatory disinfection after use. All electrical devices for prostate treatment can be used only after diagnosis. Treatment is prescribed exclusively by a doctor. Performing hardware effects on the prostate is undesirable if there are a number of contraindications:
