One of the most common diseases that affects many men over 35 is inflammation of the prostate gland. This causes many problems for men. Without timely treatment, prostatitis can develop into infertility. For the treatment of prostatitis, various medicines, physiotherapy procedures and devices intended for home use are used.
Prostatitis: what is it?
Doctors call prostatitis an inflammation of the prostate gland. The 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, decreased sexual desire and premature ejaculations are possible.
Equipment 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 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.
When invasive treatment methods are used, special precision of manipulation is required, as well as mastery of treatment skills. That is why these methods are used exclusively in hospitals.
Particularly popular among doctors are transrectal devices, which touch 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:
- Magnetic therapy - this type of treatment is based on the action of a magnetic field on the area with an inflammatory process.
- electrical stimulation - impact on the prostate gland using microcurrents.
- vibroacoustics is a type of prostate massage that is performed using fluid impact waves or a magnetic field.
- Laser therapy is an effect on the prostate gland using soft infrared radiation.

The device has a backup memory, connects to a computer and presents information in the form of graphics. 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: urine retention, worsening of inflammatory processes, redness and itching of the skin.
The duration of a 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
Various devices are also used at home for the treatment of prostatitis. For this purpose, quite easy to use quantum and microwave preparations of a non-invasive nature are used as devices for conducting magnetic-infrared laser therapy for various pathologies of ENT organs or its 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 discomfort during treatment.
Also, these devices do not require special care or mandatory disinfection after use. Any electrical equipment for the treatment of the prostate gland 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:
