After consultation with the patient by the urologist, the following methods of physiotherapy for chronic prostatitis at home are convenient and quite effective: laser (magnetic laser) therapy, magnetic therapy and methods of information-wave exposure. Physiotherapy for prostatitis is carried out by the patient independently as prescribed and under the dynamic control of the urologist.
Laser (magnetolaser) therapy is performed using emitters of the near infrared part of the optical spectrum (wavelength 0.8 - 0.9 µm). The patient's position during the procedure is lying on a bed (couch, sofa) on his back with knees bent and legs spread apart. The method of exposure is contact, stable.
Fields of influence: - along the midline of the abdomen directly above the pubic symphysis; II - perineal region, midway between the anus and the root of the penis.
PPM NLI 10 - 50 mW/cm2. Magnetic nozzle induction 20 - 40 mT. If frequency modulation of NLI is possible, the first 3 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 10-15 procedures daily, once a day in the morning.
Magnetic therapy is performed using the device "Pole-2D". The patient's position during the procedure is lying on his back on a couch (bed) with his knees bent and legs spread apart. The procedure technique is contact, stable.
Fields of influence: - along the midline of the abdomen directly above the pubic symphysis: II - perineal region.
The exposure time for one field is 20 minutes. The course of treatment is 10-15 procedures once a day in the morning (before 12 o'clock).
Information-wave impact is carried out using the device "Azor-IK". The patient's position during the procedure is lying on a bed (couch, sofa) on his back with knees bent and legs spread apart. The impact method is contact, stable.
Fields of influence: I - along the midline of the abdomen directly above the pubic symphysis; II - perineal region.
The first 3 procedures are carried out at a frequency of 80 Hz, all subsequent procedures - at a frequency of 10 Hz.
The exposure time on the field is up to 20 minutes. The course of treatment is up to 15 procedures daily, once a day in the morning.
It is possible to carry out the procedures sequentially in one day at home for chronic prostatitis (the interval between procedures is 2-4 hours):
- laser (magnetic laser) therapy + magnetic therapy;
- information-wave influence + magnetic therapy.
