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 tools used are constantly being developed, which opens up new possibilities for their use. Devices for the treatment of prostatitis and prostate adenoma are designed for household and professional use in medical institutions.
Is it possible to cure the prostate with the device?
Prostate diseases and problems do not appear suddenly. Disorders develop over a long period of time and then begin to manifest themselves symptomatically. Complications occur in many problems and malfunctions of the urogenital system:
- Erectile dysfunction.
- Problems with urination and defecation.
- Pain syndrome.
- Infertility.
- Extensive congestion in the pool area.
Drug-free treatment with physiotherapy techniques alone does not bring a long-term positive effect. Effective drug therapy is necessary to overcome the disease.
On the other hand, it is also unlikely that it is possible without physiotherapy procedures. Congestion and accompanying disorders reduce the effectiveness of drug therapy. After the patient's recovery, physical therapy is also mandatory in order to prevent relapse.
If you consider how much a session costs, it becomes clear why medical devices for the treatment of prostate adenoma at home are so popular.
The main effect of the devices, regardless of their operating principle, involves the stimulation of glandular tissues and blood vessels. State-of-the-art devices are also effectively used for the treatment of chronic prostatitis and promote well-being even in the later stages of prostate adenoma.
Some devices are multifunctional and combine different modes of action. It has an anti-inflammatory, wound healing and blood flow stimulating effect.
Home remedies for prostatitis are effective as preventive and complementary therapy. With regular use, it has a preventive effect on the prostate, preventing the occurrence of inflammatory processes and tissue proliferation (with adenoma).
What are the limitations of hardware therapy for the prostate?
If we examine the negative opinions about the use of home physical therapy equipment, we can identify several disadvantages and limitations. Dissatisfaction is typically associated with the following complaints:
- The appearance of pain - hardware therapy is strictly contraindicated during the period of exacerbation of diseases. Pain syndrome is a direct consequence of not following this restriction.
- Lack of results - the treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases of the prostate requires complex therapy. Exercise therapy, drug treatment and physiotherapy are combined.
In the absence of one of the components, the effectiveness of the therapy is sharply reduced. But the complex treatment of prostatitis with the device speeds up the patient's recovery after the disease by 30% and reduces the likelihood of relapse by 40%.
Usage reviews help to draw a conclusion about the feasibility of long-term therapy. The effect becomes evident after 5-6 sessions.
Another limitation that can be learned from independent reviews is the development of any form of cancer. Cancer cells accelerate as a result of ultrasound, vibration, heat and electrical stimulation.
Buying a device for prostate treatment is quite profitable. A physical therapy session at the medical center costs between $3 and $10, depending on the technique. A household machine costs 50-160 dollars.
Types of prostate devices according to the type of effect
Hardware treatment of prostatitis has different effects on the prostate gland and the surrounding blood vessels and tissues. The tools used are usually classified into several groups according to the type of impact and the principle of operation.
Urological devices for the treatment and prevention of prostatitis primarily stabilize the blood circulation and nutrition of the glandular tissues. During the effect on the prostate, its activity is normalized: the production of seminal fluid and the ability to absorb and process testosterone.
Means for the treatment of prostate adenoma, on the contrary, inhibit the functions of the prostate more, as a result of which its size decreases. There are universal tools that can be used for prostatitis and benign hyperplasia with the same effect.
In addition to the division according to the type of collision, the existing classification divides the devices into two types:
- transrectal— have a special sensor for insertion into the rectum.
- minimally invasive- acts through the skin of the abdominal cavity.
Another division of physiotherapy devices is related to their manufacturer. The consumer is 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 device for the treatment of prostatitis exerts a thermal effect on the prostate tissue, which is caused by changes in radio frequency waves. The household appliance is based on the use of magnetic fields together with vacuum stimulation.
To choose which tool is better for the treatment of the prostate, you need to study its principle of operation and the manufacturers' instructions for the healing effect. It would be worth contacting an experienced physiotherapist.
A review of Israeli devices shows that their efficiency is not much better than the characteristics of domestic analogues. The effectiveness of the therapy is more related to the correct choice of hardware treatment based on the principle of effect.
Transrectal action
Home medical devices and prostate home treatment devices can be divided into transrectal and non-invasive applications.
The former are more effective in therapy. The main difference is that the devices have rectal sensors that are inserted into the rectum through the anus. The head of the device is practically in contact with the prostate.
The effectiveness of the therapy depends on the anatomical features. The rectal apparatus can directly affect the prostate, the intensity of the effect is not reduced by natural obstacles: the abdominal cavity and the surrounding tissues.
Transrectal devices should not be used for the following violations:
- Hemorrhoids.
- Proctitis.
- Fissures in the anus.
- Ulcers in the rectum.
Insertion of the transrectal sensor will be difficult in end-stage prostate adenoma. In other cases, the use of these types of tools is completely justified.
Non-invasive use
The difference between this type of equipment is that the sensor for affecting the prostate is placed on top of the skin, without being placed in the rectum. The devices are intended for patients who have health limitations: diseases and inflammations of the rectum, especially in the acute stage.
Despite their lower efficiency, non-invasive devices also show good results in the treatment of chronic prostatitis and prostate adenoma: they alleviate the symptoms of the diseases and relieve pain. The equipment is used in case of contraindications to transrectal physiotherapy techniques.
Operating principles of prostate treatment devices
There are 6 main directions or ways of influencing. In urology, the tools used to treat prostatitis and hyperplasia can be classified into the following groups:
- Electrostimulator.
- Vibration stimulators.
- Anti-parasitic devices.
- Devices that use changes in the frequency of the magnetic field.
- Ultrasonic.
- Laser therapy devices.
To cure chronic prostatitis, tools are used that improve blood supply and metabolism in the glandular tissue. Ultrasonic and electrical stimulation devices, as well as antiparasitic equipment, are optimally suited for this purpose.
Hardware treatment methods for adenoma are aimed at reducing the volume of glandular tissue. A similar effect can be achieved with magnetotherapy and laser treatment.
Professional tools used in physiotherapy often combine several effects. Recently, household appliances have also been distinguished by their multifunctionality.
The rating includes those foreign devices and domestic analogues that managed to prove themselves from the best side. The unique equipment deserves a special mention – it was the first to combine the effects of a variable frequency non-invasive magnetic field and vacuum.
Modern treatment of prostatitis cannot do without physiotherapy techniques. In order to consolidate the effect of drug therapy of hyperplasia, it is necessary to use tools that have a therapeutic effect on glandular tissue.
When choosing equipment for home use, you cannot do without the advice of a urologist and a competent physiotherapist. Specialists select a device with the necessary technical characteristics.
You should be especially careful when choosing innovative tools. Buy only certified devices. The quality emblem indicates that the device has been certified and approved for use in domestic conditions.
Electrical stimulation devices
The positive effect achieved by the operation of the devices is based on the effect of low-frequency electric current on the damaged areas of the gland. The result is achieved by stimulating the nerve endings. Electric devices are completely harmless and have a curative effect even in advanced stages of prostatitis.
The operating principle of the devices is closely related to the stimulation of metabolic processes in damaged prostate tissues. Exposure to dynamic currents alleviates the patient's condition. After the first sessions, the following changes can be observed:
- The pain syndrome is relieved.
- Potency is restored.
- Makes urination easier.
Electrical stimulation devices are effective in prostatitis, but in the case of adenoma, especially in an advanced stage, it is better not to use them.
Vibration stimulators
Disorders of the prostate function often occur against the background of stagnation due to irregular sex, sedentary work and a sedentary lifestyle. Devices for the treatment of prostatitis act as a kind of massager, having a mechanical effect on the tissue of the prostate gland. Massaging the prostate stimulates its work and eliminates congestion.
There are vibration therapy devices that combine the mechanical effect with infrared heat and the healing effect of the magnetic field. A double effect is achieved during the session. The heat of infrared devices helps to cope with congestion. Massaging removes the infectious discharge from the gland cavity.
The price of the devices is relatively low, which explains their great popularity in the domestic market.
Anti-parasitic effect
In order to eliminate the inflammatory processes of the urogenital system, it is necessary to get rid of the catalyst of disorders. The source of the problem is often infections and pathogenic microorganisms, fungi.
Complex devices with an antiparasitic effect use the principle of bioresonance - waves that kill most microorganisms.
The use of the devices does not eliminate antibacterial therapy, but they are successfully used as a supplement to classical drug treatment.
Magnetic therapy devices
The beneficial effect of the magnetic field on the human body has been clinically proven and has long been in doubt. Modern devices use frequency resonant waves. There is an additional complex effect on the prostate.
Multifunctional devices differ in their operating principle:
- Several effects can be combined with the vibromagnetic laser head: laser therapy, prostate massage and magnet therapy.
- Vacuum devices - the main effect is still the magnetic field. Creating a vacuum has an effect close to tissue massage, but there is no mechanical effect.
Changing the frequency of the magnetic field leads to heating of the prostate. Heat therapy is particularly useful for prostate adenoma, but can also be used for chronic prostatitis.
Ultrasound exposure
As the reviews show, these are the best tools for treating prostatitis at home in terms of effectiveness and convenience. The devices are compact and easily fit into a small travel bag for transport.
The operating principle is based on microwave heat therapy. Ultrasound affects the tissues, slightly heating them.
Bioresonance vibrations stimulate cells and nerve endings. Physiotherapists recommend installing ultrasound sensors on the biologically active points responsible for prostate function, as well as directly in the lumbar area.
Laser therapy devices
Laser devices are used in quantum therapy for prostate diseases. The sensor is placed rectally over the prostate.
The performance of household portable devices is not the same as professional devices, but they have a sufficient effect for prevention and therapy.
Laser devices for the treatment of prostatitis stabilize the patient's condition: they reduce pain during intercourse and urination, and normalize the functions of the prostate gland. With prolonged exposure, stagnation is eliminated.
A therapeutic laser device with a rectal attachment cannot be used in the case of acute inflammatory processes of 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!
