Doctors call prostatitis inflammation of the prostate gland. The characteristic symptoms of this disease are frequent urination accompanied by pain. Men's urine contains particles of blood and pus, often patients experience erectile dysfunction, decreased libido, and premature ejaculation.
Devices for the treatment of prostatitis in hospital conditions
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 facilitates the entry 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, as well as treatment skills are required. Therefore, these methods are used only in hospitals.
Especially popular among doctors are transrectal devices that act on the prostate through the back wall of the intestine.
This effect is very effective, because it allows to quickly eliminate 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 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 effect of a magnetic field on the area where there is an inflammatory process.
- electrical stimulation - effect on the prostate gland using micro currents.
- vibroacoustic is a type of prostate massage performed using the action waves of liquid or magnetic field.
- laser therapy is an effect on the prostate gland using soft infrared radiation.
Device for UHF therapy
Medical equipment designed for the organization of treatment and preventive procedures using a high-frequency (300-3000 MHz) electromagnetic field that spreads in the decimeter wave range (length from 1 m to 10 cm) works using an electromagnetic field. Its use is effective for prostate adenoma, acute and chronic prostatitis, as well as reduction of erection. Treatment with the device is carried out only in hospital conditions.
Doctors do not recommend treatment if a man has:
- possibility of blood clots;

Thermotherapy device
The device is a thermal radiofrequency device used to treat inflammation of the prostate gland. It is also indicated for decreased erection, libido and other urological problems.
It affects the organs of the genitourinary system thanks to completely safe radio frequency pulses. Various operating modes of the device allow the patient to choose the desired treatment mode and strength. The device has backup memory, connects to a computer and presents data in the form of graphs. The device is used only in hospitals, because it has a number of serious contraindications. Side effects of the device include: urinary retention, exacerbation of inflammatory processes, redness and itching of the skin.
The duration of one 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
Various devices are also used for the treatment of prostatitis at home. For this purpose, rather easy-to-use quantum and microwave preparations of a 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 impact through the skin in the prostate region. The advantage of such devices is that patients do not feel discomfort during treatment.
Also, these devices do not require special care or mandatory disinfection after use. Any electrical device for prostate treatment can be used only after diagnosis. Treatment is prescribed only by a doctor. If there are a number of contraindications, it is undesirable to perform a hardware effect on the prostate:

- tuberculosis;
- inflammatory processes in the rectum;
- acute inflammation of the prostate gland.
Low dose x-ray machine
The device is used in the complex treatment of prostatitis. His work is based on influencing acupuncture points. The device allows you to simulate a massage thanks to multi-frequency oscillations of electric pulses.
The treatment using this device allows to remove blockages in the prostate gland and increase the body's resistance to infection. This treatment also has an analgesic effect. The device is equipped with attachments that should be placed on the points of the body related to the prostate gland:
- under the head of the clavicle;

- first, above the second sacral foramen, or at the outer end of the coccyx;
- 2, 5, 5 or 7, 5 cm below the navel.
Masseur
This device is a device for rectal massage. Its effect is caused by vibration, thermal radiation and changes in the magnetic field. Mains powered electrical device. The device includes: the device itself, power supply, wire and plastic insert. The smooth anatomical shape of the cap does not cause discomfort when inserted into the anus.
Using the device not only replaces hand massage, but also surpasses it in terms of effectiveness. Men who have used this device in the treatment of prostatitis note that after 4-5 sessions of the procedure, swelling decreases, pain disappears, and libido increases.

Urological apparatus
It is a device that emits electromagnetic pulses using two electrodes included in the device. One electrode is inserted into the anus, and the other is attached to the lower abdomen.
The device normalizes blood circulation in the prostate gland, eliminates inflammation, swelling and spasm, accelerates metabolism, and also has a beneficial effect on the condition of prostate cells. When treated with the device, the overall effect of the drugs taken by the patient increases.

- blood diseases;
- poor blood clotting;
- exacerbation of infectious diseases;
- mental disorders.
A device for vibration massage using a magnetic field
This equipment is a vibrating massager that affects the prostate gland using heat, vibration and a magnetic field. The device has a unique design and does not require inserting the applicator into the anus.
This device has a beneficial effect on the health of patients, eliminates inflammation and has practically no side effects.
