In the absence of complications of hemorrhoids (bleeding, strangulation of hemorrhoids, etc.), physiotherapy at home involves the use of fairly effective methods of laser and magnetic therapy, as well as methods of information-wave exposure.
It is possible for the patient to perform the procedures of the listed physiotherapy methods at home independently, according to the prescription and under the dynamic supervision of the attending physician.
With all the above mentioned methods of physiotherapy, the patient's position during the procedure is lying on a bed (couch, sofa) on his back with his knees bent and legs spread apart, and the area of influence is the anus. The influence methods are contact, stable.
In laser therapy, it is optimal to use devices with matrix emitters of the near infrared part of the optical spectrum (wavelength 0.8 - 0.9 μm). PPM NLI 5 - 10 mW / cm2. If frequency modulation of NLI is possible, the first 3 - 5 procedures are carried out at a frequency of 80 Hz, all subsequent ones - at a frequency of 10 Hz. The exposure time on the field is up to 5 minutes. The course of treatment is 5 - 10 daily procedures 1 time per day in the morning.
It is advisable to carry out magnetic therapy using the device "Pole-2D". The time of exposure to the field is up to 20 minutes. The course of treatment is up to 10 procedures daily 1 time per day in the morning.
Information-wave impact is carried out using the device "Azor-IK". The first 3-5 procedures are carried out at a frequency of 80 Hz, all subsequent ones - at a frequency of 10 Hz.
The exposure time on the field is up to 20 minutes. The course of treatment is up to 10 procedures daily, once a day in the morning.
It is possible to carry out the procedures sequentially in one day at home for hemorrhoids (the interval between procedures is 2-4 hours):
- laser (magnetic laser) therapy + magnetic therapy.
