For the complex treatment of prostate problems, various physiotherapy techniques are used, the effectiveness of which is based on the effect on the prostate: ultrasound, magnetic field, light, vibration.
The devices used are constantly being improved, which opens up new possibilities for their use. Devices for the treatment of prostatitis and prostate adenoma are intended for domestic and professional use in medical institutions.
Is it possible to cure the prostate using a device?
Diseases and problems in the prostate gland do not appear suddenly. Disorders develop over a long period of time, after which they begin to manifest themselves symptomatically. Complications are found in several problems and damage to the genitourinary system:
- Erectile dysfunction.
- Problems urinating and defecating.
- Pain syndrome.
- Infertility.
- Widespread congestion in the pelvic region.
Drug-free treatment with physiotherapeutic techniques alone will not bring long-term positive effects. To combat this disease, effective drug therapy is needed.
On the other hand, it is also not possible to do without physiotherapeutic procedures. Congestion and accompanying disturbances reduce the effectiveness of drug therapy. After the patient recovers, undergoing physical therapy is also mandatory to prevent relapse.
If you consider how much one session costs, it becomes clear why medical devices for treating prostate adenoma at home are so popular.
The main effect of the devices, regardless of their operating principle, is associated with the stimulation of glandular tissue and blood vessels. The most modern devices are used effectively even for the treatment of chronic prostatitis, and also facilitate well-being in the final stages of prostate adenoma.
Some equipment is multifunctional and combines different methods of influence. It has anti-inflammatory effects, wound healing, and improves blood flow.
Devices for the treatment of prostatitis at home are effective as preventive and additional therapy. With regular use, there is a preventive effect on the prostate, preventing the occurrence of inflammatory processes and tissue proliferation (with adenomas).
What are the limitations for hardware therapy for the prostate?
If one examines the negative reviews about the use of physical therapy equipment at home, several weaknesses and limitations can be identified. Usually, dissatisfaction is associated with the following complaints:
- The appearance of pain-hardware therapy is absolutely prohibited during the period of exacerbation of the disease. Pain syndrome is a direct consequence of non-compliance with these restrictions.
- Lack of results - treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases of the prostate gland requires complex therapy. Exercise therapy, medications and physiotherapy are combined.
In the absence of one of the components, the effectiveness of therapy is significantly reduced. But the complex treatment of prostatitis using the device accelerates the patient's recovery after the disease by 30% and reduces the likelihood of relapse by 40%.
Usage reviews help to draw conclusions about the appropriateness of long-term therapy. The effect becomes obvious after 5-6 sessions.
Another limitation, which can be learned from independent reviews, is the development of any form of cancer. Exposure to ultrasound, vibration, heat and electrical stimulation triggers the accelerated growth of cancer cells.
Buying a device for prostate treatment is quite profitable. For one physical therapy session at the medical center they charge $3-10, depending on the technique. A home appliance will cost $50-160.
Types of prostate devices according to the type of effect
Hardware treatment of prostatitis is associated with different effects on the prostate gland and the surrounding ducts and tissues. It is customary to classify the devices used into several groups according to the type of effect and the principle of operation.
Urological devices for the treatment and prevention of prostatitis mainly stabilize blood circulation and nutrition of glandular tissue. During the effect on the prostate, its activity is normalized: the production of seminal fluid and the ability to absorb and process testosterone.
Devices for the treatment of prostate adenoma, on the other hand, inhibit the function of the prostate more, causing it to decrease in size. There is a universal device that can be used with the same effect for prostatitis and benign hyperplasia.
In addition to the division according to the type of impact, the existing classification divides the device into two types:
- transrectal— has a special sensor to be inserted into the rectum.
- minimally invasive- acts through the skin of the abdominal cavity.
Another part of the physiotherapy device is related to the manufacturer. Users are offered imported devices, as well as domestic analogues. The difference is not only in the country of origin, but also in the type of exposure. Therefore, the Israeli device for the treatment of prostatitis has a thermal effect on the prostate tissue caused by changes in radio frequency waves. The domestic device is based on the use of a magnetic field together with vacuum stimulation.
To choose which device is better for treating the prostate, you need to study its operating principle and the manufacturer's instructions on the healing effect. It is a good idea to consult with an experienced physiotherapist.
Reviews of Israeli devices show that their efficiency is not much superior to the distinguishing characteristics of domestic analogues. The effectiveness of therapy is more related to the correct choice of hardware treatment based on the principle of its effect.
Transrectal action
Devices and household medical devices for treating the prostate at home are divided into transrectal and non-invasive applications.
The first is more effective in therapy. The main difference is that the device has a rectal sensor that is inserted into the rectum through the anus. The head of the device can be said to be in contact with the prostate gland.
The effectiveness of therapy is related to anatomical features. Rectal devices can affect the prostate directly; the intensity of the effect is not reduced by natural barriers: the abdominal cavity and surrounding tissue.
Transrectal devices should not be used for the following violations:
- hemorrhoids
- Proctitis.
- Cracks in the anus.
- Ulcers in the rectum.
In late stages of prostate adenoma, transrectal sensor insertion will be difficult. In other cases, the use of this type of device is completely justified.
Non-invasive use
The difference between this type of equipment is due to the fact that the sensor to influence the prostate is placed on the skin, without inserting it into the rectum. This device is intended for patients with health-related limitations: diseases and inflammation of the rectum, especially in the acute stage.
Although the efficiency is lower, the non-invasive device also shows good results in the treatment of chronic prostatitis and prostate adenoma: it reduces the symptoms of the disease and relieves pain. This equipment is used if there is a contraindication to the transrectal physiotherapy technique.
The principle of operation of the prostate treatment device
There are 6 main directions or methods of influence. Devices used in urology for the treatment of prostatitis and hyperplasia are divided into the following groups:
- Electrostimulating.
- Vibration stimulator.
- Equipment with antiparasitic effect.
- A device that uses a change in the frequency of a magnetic field.
- Ultrasonic.
- Laser therapy device.
To cure chronic prostatitis, devices are used to increase blood supply and metabolism in glandular tissue. Ultrasound, electrical stimulation devices, as well as equipment with an antiparasitic effect are optimally suited for this purpose.
Hardware treatment methods for adenomas are aimed at reducing the amount of glandular tissue. The same effect is achieved with magnetic therapy and laser treatment.
Professional devices used in physiotherapy often combine several types of effects. Recently, household appliances are also distinguished by their various functions.
The rating includes foreign devices and domestic analogues that have managed to prove themselves from the best side. Unique equipment deserves special attention - the device is the first to combine the effect of a non-invasive magnetic field with varying frequencies and the effect of a vacuum.
Modern treatment of prostatitis cannot be done without physiotherapeutic techniques. To consolidate the effect of drug therapy for hyperplasia, the use of devices with a therapeutic effect on glandular tissue is required.
When choosing equipment for home use, you cannot do without consulting a competent urologist and physiotherapist. Specialists will select a device with the necessary technical characteristics.
You should be careful when choosing an innovative device. You only need to buy certified devices. The quality symbol indicates that the device has been certified and approved for use in domestic conditions.
Electrical stimulation device
The positive effect achieved from the operation of the device is based on the effect of low-frequency electric current on the damaged area of the gland. The result is achieved by stimulating nerve endings. Electrical equipment is completely harmless and has a healing effect even in advanced stages of prostatitis.
The operating principle of the device is closely related to the stimulation of metabolic processes in damaged prostate tissue. Exposure to dynamic current alleviates the patient's condition. After the first session, the following changes were observed:
- Pain relief syndrome.
- Potentially restored.
- Facilitates urination.
Electrical stimulation devices are effective for prostatitis, but for adenomas, especially at an advanced stage, it is better not to use them.
Vibration stimulator
Disorders in the function of the prostate gland often occur against the background of stagnation due to irregular sex, inactive work, and an inactive lifestyle. The device for the treatment of prostatitis works as a kind of massager that has a mechanical effect on the tissue of the prostate gland. Massaging the prostate stimulates its work and relieves congestion.
There are devices for vibration therapy that combine mechanical action with infrared heat, as well as the healing effect of magnetic fields. During the session, a double effect is achieved. The heat from the infrared device helps relieve congestion. Massaging removes infectious exudate from the gland cavity.
The cost of the device is relatively low, which explains their high popularity in the domestic market.
With antiparasitic effect
To eliminate the inflammatory process in the genitourinary system, you should get rid of the catalyst for the disorder. Often the cause of the problem is infection and pathogenic microorganisms, fungi.
A complex device with an antiparasitic effect uses the principle of bioresonance - waves with a frequency at which most microorganisms die.
The use of the device does not invalidate antibacterial therapy, but is successfully used in addition to classical drug treatment.
Magnetic therapy device
The beneficial effects of magnetic fields on the human body have been clinically proven and have long been beyond doubt. Modern devices use resonant-frequency waves. There is an additional complex effect on the prostate.
Multifunctional devices differ in their principle of operation:
- With the vibromagnetic laser head, several types of effects are combined at once: laser therapy, prostate massage and the use of magnetic therapy.
- Vacuum devices - the main influence remains the magnetic field. Creating a vacuum has an effect close to massaging the tissue, but there is no mechanical effect.
Changing the frequency of the magnetic field leads to heating of the prostate. Thermotherapy is particularly useful for prostate adenomas, but can also be used during chronic prostatitis.
Ultrasound exposure
As the reviews show, in terms of effectiveness and convenience, this is the best device for treating prostatitis at home. The device is compact and easily fits into a small travel bag for transport.
The principle of operation is based on microwave thermotherapy. Ultrasound affects the tissue, slightly heating it.
Bioresonance vibrations stimulate cells and nerve endings. Physiotherapists recommend installing ultrasound sensors on biologically active points responsible for prostate function, as well as directly in the groin area.
Laser therapy device
Laser devices are used in quantum therapy for prostate disease. The sensor is placed rectally to the location of the prostate.
Household portable devices do not have the same power as professional devices, but they have a sufficient effect for prevention and therapy.
The laser device for the treatment of prostatitis stabilizes the patient's condition: reduces pain during sexual intercourse and urination, and normalizes the function of the prostate gland. With prolonged exposure, stagnation is eliminated.
Therapeutic laser devices with rectal attachments should not be used in cases of acute inflammatory processes in the rectum, as well as diseases associated with a violation of the integrity of the mucous membrane.
Physiotherapy techniques are selected exclusively by the attending physician. Self-medication is dangerous!
