One of the most common diseases that affects many men over 35 is inflammation of the prostate. It causes a lot of problems for men. Without timely treatment, prostatitis can develop into infertility. To treat prostatitis, various medications, physiotherapeutic procedures and devices for home use are used.
Prostatitis: what is it?
Doctors call prostatitis an inflammation of the prostate. 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 ejaculation.
Devices for the treatment of prostatitis in the 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 the problem area. All devices for the treatment of prostatitis are divided into invasive and non-invasive devices.
When using invasive treatment methods, particular precision of manipulation and the possession of treatment skills are required. That is why these methods are only used in hospitals.
Transrectal devices, which act on the prostate via the back wall of the intestine, are particularly popular with doctors.
This effect is very effective because it quickly relieves pain and negative manifestations of the disease, normalizes the patient's condition and prevents the development of complications. Non-invasive treatments are easier to perform but are not as effective as transrectal treatments. Non-invasive methods help speed up drug treatment and have a positive 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 effect of a magnetic field on the area with the inflammatory process.
- electrical stimulation – influence on the prostate through microcurrents.
- Vibroacoustics is a form of prostate massage performed using impact waves from a fluid or magnetic field.
- Laser therapy involves an effect on the prostate with soft infrared radiation.
UHF therapy device
Medical devices intended for the organization of treatment and prophylactic procedures using a high-frequency (300-3000 MHz) electromagnetic field in the decimeter wave range (length from 1 m to 10 cm) work with an electromagnetic field. Its use is effective for prostate adenomas, acute and chronic prostatitis, and reduced erection. Treatment with the device is only carried out in hospital settings.
Doctors do not recommend treatment if a man has:
- the likelihood of blood clots;
- Diseases of the circulatory system and blood-forming organs;
- Bleeding tendency;
- angina pectoris;
- aneurysms of the heart or blood vessels;

Various modes of operation of the device allow the patient to choose the desired treatment regimen and performance. The device has backup memory, connects to a computer and presents information in the form of diagrams. The device is used exclusively in hospitals, as it has a number of serious contraindications. The side effects of the device include: urinary retention, exacerbation of inflammatory processes, redness and itching of the skin.
The duration of a treatment is relatively long at 1-2 hours. The general sequence of procedures and their number are determined by the doctor.
Devices for treating prostatitis at home
Various devices are also used to treat prostatitis at home. For this purpose, relatively easy-to-use quantum and microwave preparations of a non-invasive nature are used as a device for carrying out magnetic infrared laser therapy for various pathologies of the ENT organs or their 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 any discomfort during treatment.
In addition, these devices do not require special care or mandatory disinfection after use. Any electrical devices for treating the prostate gland may only be used after a diagnosis has been made. The treatment is prescribed exclusively by a doctor. Carrying out hardware effects on the prostate is undesirable if there are a number of contraindications:
