Several physical therapies for prostatitis

I believe everyone knows the importance of the prostate to male friends. The prostate is the male sex gland. If a male friend's prostate has problems, it will not only easily harm the body but also may affect fertility. Therefore, we recommend that male friends should pay attention to taking good care of their prostate in normal times. You can massage the prostate when appropriate. Prostatitis is a common symptom of the prostate. Below we will introduce to you several physical treatments for prostatitis.

1. Microwave therapy

It is a new high-frequency electrotherapy method. The frequency is 2450 MHz and the wavelength is 12.5 cm. It is easier to penetrate into the tissue than short wave and ultra short wave. It has a strong ability to kill microorganisms in deep tissues, and it will not overheat the subcutaneous tissue and the heat generated is uniform. It can be used once a day or every other day through the rectum, and a two-week course is a course of treatment; for those who use it through the urethra, the frequency should be appropriately reduced. Microwaves are harmless to the human body at normal doses, but the testicles are very sensitive to microwaves. Therefore, when treating prostatitis, care should be taken to protect the testicles from radiation. People with infertility caused by prostatitis should be more careful when using this method.

2. Shortwave Therapy

It is a high-frequency current therapy. The current used is called short-wave current. The frequency is 3*10 6-3*10 7 Hz, the wavelength is 10-100 meters, and the voltage during treatment is 90-120 volts. The bactericidal effect of shortwave is not direct, but an indirect effect produced by shortwave enhancing the body's immune defense mechanism. Shortwave therapy is easy to operate. Two electrodes are used during treatment, one on the buttocks and the other on the pubic bone above the lower abdomen. Each treatment lasts 15 to 30 minutes, once a day, and a course of treatment is 2 weeks. This therapy is suitable for acute and chronic prostatitis and those with more white blood cells in prostate scopy.

3. Ultrashort Wave Therapy

It is another method of treatment using high-frequency electric current. The frequency of the electric current is relatively high, generally 30-300 MHz, the wavelength is 10-1 meter, and the voltage during treatment is 40-50 volts. Its mechanism of action and adaptations are the same as those of shortwave therapy, but its ability to penetrate tissues and kill microorganisms is much greater than that of shortwave.

4. Ultrasound Therapy

Ultrasound refers to vibration waves with a frequency of more than 20,000 cycles/second that cannot cause auditory response in normal people. The commonly used frequency in clinical practice is 800-1000 kilocycles/second. Medical ultrasound can improve local healing fluid and lymphatic circulation, strengthen local metabolism, change tissue acidity and alkalinity, change pH to alkaline, reduce local acidosis, and relieve or eliminate pain. Ultrasound treatment is suitable for patients with chronic prostatitis who have obvious urinary tract irritation symptoms and a large number of white blood cells in prostatic fluid microscopy.

In the above article, we introduced the importance of the prostate to men. If there is a problem with the prostate, it will bring many harms to male friends. One of the diseases that the prostate is prone to is prostatitis. The above article introduces several physical treatments for prostatitis.
