One of the most common diseases that affects many men over the age of 35 is inflammation of the prostate gland. It causes a lot of problems for men. Without timely treatment, prostatitis can turn into infertility. To treat prostatitis, various drugs, physiotherapeutic procedures and devices intended for home use are used.
Prostatitis: what is it?
Doctors call prostatitis an inflammation of the prostate gland. Characteristic signs of this disease are frequent urination accompanied by pain. A man's urine contains blood particles and pus; very often patients experience erectile dysfunction, decreased libido and premature ejaculations are possible.
Devices for the treatment of prostatitis in hospital settings
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 using invasive treatment methods, special precision of manipulation is required, as well as the possession of therapeutic skills. That is why these methods are used exclusively in hospitals.
Particularly appreciated by doctors are transrectal devices, which act on the prostate through the posterior 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. Noninvasive 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 affected by the inflammatory process.
- electrical stimulation: impact on the prostate gland using microcurrents.
- vibroacoustics is a type of prostate massage that is performed using impact waves of liquids or a magnetic field.
- Laser therapy is an effect on the prostate gland using soft infrared radiation.
UHF therapy device

Its use is effective in prostatic adenoma, acute and chronic prostatitis and decreased erection. Treatment with the device is performed only in a hospital setting.
Doctors do not recommend treatment if a man has:
- the likelihood of blood clots;
- diseases of the circulatory system and hematopoietic organs;
- tendency to bleed;
- angina pectoris;
- aneurysms of the heart or blood vessels;
- cerebrovascular accident;

Thermotherapy device
The device is a thermal radiofrequency device used to treat inflammation of the prostate gland. It is also indicated in case of decreased erection, libido and other urological problems.
It affects the organs of the genitourinary system thanks to radiofrequency pulses, which are completely safe. Different operating modes of the device allow the patient to choose the desired treatment regimen and power. The device has backup memory, connects to a computer and presents information in the form of graphs. 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: urinary retention, exacerbation 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 are determined by the doctor.
Devices for the treatment of prostatitis at home
At home, various devices are also used to treat prostatitis. For this purpose, quite easy to use quantum and microwave preparations of non-invasive nature are used as a device for conducting magnetic infrared laser therapy for various pathologies of the 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 feel discomfort during treatment.
Furthermore, these devices do not require special care or mandatory disinfection after use. Any electrical devices 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:
- the presence of malignant tumors in the prostate or rectum;
- tuberculosis;
- inflammatory processes in the rectum;
- acute inflammation of the prostate gland.
Low dose x-ray machine
The device is used for complex treatment of prostatitis. His work is based on the influence of acupuncture points. The device allows you to simulate a massage thanks to the multi-frequency oscillations of electrical impulses.
Treatment carried out with this device allows you to eliminate congestion in the prostate gland and increase the body's resistance to fighting infections. This treatment also has an analgesic effect. The device is equipped with attachments that must be placed on those points of the body that are connected to the prostate gland:
