For 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, vibrate.
The devices used are constantly being improved, opening up new possibilities for their use. Devices for the treatment of prostatitis and prostate adenoma are designed for domestic and professional use in medical facilities.
Can the prostate be cured with this device?
Prostate diseases and problems do not appear suddenly. The disorders develop over a long period of time, after which they begin to manifest symptoms. Complications are found in a number of problems and malfunctions of the genitourinary system:
- Erectile dysfunction.
- Problems with urination and bowel movements.
- Pain syndrome.
- Dry.
- Extensive blockage in the pelvic area.
Non-pharmacological treatment using only physical therapy techniques will not bring long-term positive results. To combat this disease, effective drug treatment is required.
On the other hand, this is also difficult to do without physical therapy procedures. Obstruction and accompanying disorders reduce the effectiveness of drug treatment. After the patient has recovered, physical therapy is also mandatory to prevent recurrence.
If you consider how much a treatment session costs, it becomes clear why medical devices for treating prostate cancer at home are so popular.
The main effect of the devices, regardless of their principle of operation, is related to the stimulation of glandular and vascular tissues. The most modern devices are effectively used even in the treatment of chronic prostatitis, and also create favorable conditions for health in the later stages of prostate adenoma.
Some devices are multifunctional and combine different methods of impact. It has anti-inflammatory effects, heals wounds and enhances blood flow.
Home prostatitis treatment devices are effective as a preventative and supportive therapy. With regular use, has a prostatic effect, prevents the occurrence of inflammatory processes and tissue proliferation (with adenomas).
What are the limitations of hardware therapy for the prostate?
If we consider the negative reviews regarding the use of home physiotherapy equipment, it is possible to identify some disadvantages and limitations. Most often, dissatisfaction is related to the following complaints:
- The presence of pain—hardware therapy is strictly contraindicated in the more severe stages of the disease. Pain syndrome is a direct consequence of non-compliance with this restriction.
- Lack of results - treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases of the prostate requires complex therapy. Exercise therapy, medication, and physical therapy are combined.
In case of deficiency of one of the components, the effectiveness of treatment will decrease sharply. But complex treatment of prostatitis with this device will help the patient recover 30% faster after the disease and reduce the likelihood of recurrence by 40%.
Evaluation of use helps to draw conclusions about the feasibility of long-term therapy. The effect becomes obvious after 5-6 sessions.
Another limitation that can be drawn from independent assessments is the development of any form of cancer. Exposure to ultrasound, vibration, heat and electrical stimulation stimulates the rapid growth of cancer cells.
Buying a prostate treatment device is quite profitable. For a physical therapy session at the medical center, they charge between 3 and 10 USD, depending on the technique. A home appliance will cost $50-160.
Types of prostate devices by type of effect
Hardware treatment of prostatitis is associated with various effects on the prostate as well as the surrounding vessels and tissues. Normally, people often classify used devices into several groups according to type of impact and operating principle.
Urological devices for the treatment and prevention of prostatitis mainly stabilize the blood circulation and nutrition of glandular tissues. During the action on the prostate, its activity is normalized: semen production and the ability to absorb and process testosterone.
On the contrary, devices used to treat prostate tumors inhibit the function of the prostate more, causing the size of the prostate to decrease. There are universal devices that can be used with similar effects for prostatitis and benign hyperplasia.
In addition to the division by type of impact, the current classification divides devices into two types:
- interrupt- there is a special sensor to insert into the rectum.
- Minimally invasive- affects the skin of the abdomen.
Another part of physical therapy equipment is related to their manufacturer. Consumers 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. Thus, the Israeli prostatitis treatment device has a thermal effect on prostate tissue due to changes in radio frequency waves. Household appliances are based on the use of magnetic fields along with vacuum excitation.
To choose which prostate treatment device is better, you need to study its principle of operation and the manufacturer's instructions on the therapeutic effect. It would be a good idea to consult an experienced physical therapist.
Reviews of Israeli devices show that their effectiveness is not very superior to the characteristics that distinguish domestic similar devices. The effectiveness of therapy is more related to the correct selection of hardware treatment based on the principle of its action.
The act of interrupting
Home medical devices and home prostate treatment devices are divided into transrectal and non-invasive applications.
The former is more effective in therapy. The main difference is that devices with rectal sensors are inserted into the rectum through the anus. The tip of the device actually comes into contact with the prostate.
The effectiveness of therapy is related to anatomical characteristics. The rectal apparatus can directly impact the prostate, the intensity of the impact is not reduced by natural barriers: the abdominal cavity and surrounding tissues.
Use of transrectal devices is prohibited for the following violations:
- Hemorrhoids.
- Rectal inflammation.
- Fissures in the anus.
- Ulcers in the rectum.
In the late stages of prostate adenoma, transrectal sensor placement will be difficult. In other cases, the use of devices of this type is completely justified.
Non-invasive use
The difference between this type of device is that the sensor that acts on the prostate is placed on the skin and not inserted into the rectum. These devices are intended for patients with health-related limitations: diseases and proctitis, especially in the acute stage.
Although less effective, non-invasive devices also show good results in the treatment of chronic prostatitis and prostate adenoma: reducing the symptoms of the disease and reducing pain. The device is used in cases where there are contraindications to transrectal physical therapy techniques.
Operating principle of prostate treatment device
There are six main directions or methods of influence. Devices used in urology to treat prostatitis and hyperplasia are divided into the following groups:
- Electrical stimulation.
- Vibration stimulator.
- The device has an anti-parasitic effect.
- The devices use changes in the frequency of a magnetic field.
- Supersonic.
- Laser therapy equipment.
To cure chronic prostatitis, devices are used to improve blood supply and metabolism in glandular tissues. Ultrasound, electrical stimulation devices, as well as devices with antiparasitic effects are best suited for this purpose.
Hardware treatments for adenomas aim to reduce the volume of adenoma tissue. Similar effects are achieved with magnetic therapy and laser treatment.
Professional devices used in physical therapy often combine a variety of effects. Recently, home appliances also stand out for their versatility.
The rating includes foreign devices and domestic analogues that have tried to prove themselves in the best aspect. This unique device deserves special mention - it is the first to combine the effect of non-invasive magnetic fields of different frequencies and the effect of vacuum.
Modern treatment of prostatitis is not possible without physiotherapy techniques. To strengthen the effectiveness of drug treatment on hyperplasia, it is necessary to use devices that have a therapeutic effect on glandular tissue.
When choosing a device for use at home, you cannot do without consulting a competent urologist and physiotherapist. Experts will choose a device with the necessary technical characteristics.
You should be especially careful when choosing innovative devices. You should only 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 devices is based on the impact of low-frequency current on damaged areas of the gland. The result is achieved by stimulating nerve endings. Electrical devices are completely harmless and have a healing effect even in severe stages of prostatitis.
The operating principle of the devices is closely related to the stimulation of metabolic processes in damaged prostate tissues. Exposure to electrodynamic current alleviates the patient's condition. After the first sessions, the following changes are observed:
- Pain syndrome is relieved.
- Effect is restored.
- Makes urination easier.
Electrical stimulation devices are effective for prostatitis, but for adenoma, especially in the late stages, it is better not to use them.
Vibration stimulator
Disturbances in the functioning of the prostate gland often occur due to stagnation caused by irregular sexual intercourse, sedentary work and sedentary lifestyle. Devices for the treatment of prostatitis act as a type of massager that has a mechanical effect on the tissue of the prostate. Massaging the prostate stimulates its activity and eliminates blockages.
There are vibration therapy devices that combine mechanical impact with infrared heat, as well as the healing effect of magnetic fields. During the session, a dual effect is achieved. Heat from infrared devices helps deal with blockages. Massage helps remove infected secretions from the glandular cavity.
The cost of the devices is relatively low, which explains their high popularity in the domestic market.
With anti-parasitic effect
To eliminate inflammatory processes in the genitourinary system, you should eliminate the catalyst that causes the disorder. Usually the source of the problem is infection and pathogenic microorganisms, fungi.
Complex devices with anti-parasitic effects use the principle of bioresonance - waves with a frequency that causes most microorganisms to die.
The use of devices does not cancel antibacterial therapy but is successfully used as an addition to classical drug treatment.
Magnetic therapy equipment
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 a magnetic vibrating laser head, several types of effects are combined at once: laser therapy, prostate massage and the use of magnetic therapy.
- Vacuum equipment - the main influence is still the magnetic field. Vacuum creation has almost the same effect as tissue massage but without the mechanical effect.
Changing the frequency of the magnetic field leads to heating of the prostate. Heat therapy is especially useful for prostate tumors but can also be used in chronic prostatitis.
Ultrasonic exposure
As reviews show, in terms of effectiveness and convenience, these are the best devices for treating prostatitis at home. These devices are compact and easily fit into a small travel bag for transport.
The principle of operation is based on microwave heat therapy. Ultrasound affects the tissues, warming them slightly.
Bioresonant vibrations stimulate cells and nerve endings. Physiotherapists advise installing ultrasound sensors on biologically active points responsible for the functioning of the prostate, as well as directly on the groin area.
Laser therapy equipment
Laser devices are used in quantum therapy for prostate diseases. The sensor is placed directly on the prostate.
Handheld devices in the home do not have the same capacity as specialized devices but are effective enough to prevent and treat diseases.
Laser equipment for the treatment of prostatitis helps stabilize the patient's condition: reduces pain during sex and urination, normalizes the functions of the prostate. With prolonged exposure, stagnation is eliminated.
It is forbidden to use a therapeutic laser device with a rectal attachment in case of acute inflammatory processes in the rectum, as well as diseases associated with violations of the integrity of the mucous membrane.
Physiotherapy techniques are selected exclusively by the attending physician. Self-medication is very dangerous!
