What are the special treatments for prostate?

The prostate is a relatively important gland in men and is also the most susceptible part to disease. Prostatitis is a common symptom. Since many prostate diseases are very difficult to treat, patients are very concerned about some special treatment methods, hoping to get more obvious treatment effects. So, what are the special treatment methods for prostate? Let's take a detailed look below.

1. Hot water sitting bath: This is a very simple physical therapy method suitable for home use. Buy a bathtub or foot basin and add 42℃-43℃ hot water. The patient sits in the basin, and the water should cover the perineum. Each time, 15-30 minutes, 1-2 times a day, persist for one to several months. It should be noted that two thermos bottles filled with hot water should be prepared on the side of the basin, and water should be added to the basin at any time to maintain the appropriate temperature in the bathtub. Due to the effect of the hot water bath, the patient's muscles are relaxed, blood vessels are dilated, and blood circulation is accelerated, which is conducive to the absorption and disappearance of inflammation.

2. Ultrasound is a sound wave with a frequency of more than 20,000 cycles that normal people cannot hear. Ultrasound acting on human lesions can promote local blood circulation, enhance metabolism and tissue repair, and can also generate mechanical vibration and heat, and has anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects.

3. Short wave or ultra short wave is a kind of high frequency current with strong penetrating and sterilizing ability. During treatment, an electrode plate is placed on the buttocks and lower abdomen respectively, and the short wave or ultra short wave is projected to the prostate through the electrode plate to play a therapeutic role.

4. Microwaves are a kind of high-frequency electric current with a higher frequency. They have stronger penetrating power than short waves and ultrashort waves, and may kill bacteria deep in the prostate. Microwave therapy has two types: transrectal emitting probe and chair-type. Transrectal microwave requires the probe to be inserted 5-6 cm into the rectum, and irradiated to the prostate through the anterior wall of the rectum. Chair-type patients only need to sit on the chair, and the microwave emitting tube is focused on the prostate. Treatment is performed once a day, and a course of treatment is 10 days. When doing microwave therapy, care should be taken to protect the testicles from irradiation to avoid high temperatures that hinder sperm production. Microwave therapy is not suitable for unmarried or married patients who are not pregnant.

The above is an introduction to the special treatment methods for prostate. I hope it will be helpful for patients to understand. Prostate diseases are relatively complicated. When similar diseases occur, it is best to go to a regular hospital for a comprehensive diagnosis. Only when you are clear about your condition can you take appropriate treatment methods. This is very important.
