METHOD AND DEVICE FOR TREATING CHRONIC PROSTATITIS Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: method involves concurrently acting with stimulating electric pulses and back pressure pulses upon the prostate from the large intestine side synchronized with the stimulating electric pulses under excessive rinsing solution pressure into posterior urethra region. Device has pneumatic massage unit as elastic shell enveloping hollow cylindrical casing having a row of radial holes for supplying compressed air into the shell and periodic pulsating pressure source having at least one unit for producing electric pulses and pneumo-electromagnetic valve which electromagnet anchor is connected to electric pulse production unit outputs. Unit for electrically stimulating perineal muscles and prostate having stimulating catheter electrode and reservoir containing rinsing solution attached to catheter electrode are available in the device. Electric stimulation unit output is connected to input of unit for producing pressure pulses. Periodic pulsating pressure source is manufactured as elastic pneumatic chamber brought in continuous mechanical engagement with electromagnet anchor of the pneumo-electromagnetic valve and tightly joined via tube, cylindrical tube cavity and radial holes therein to the elastic shell of the massage member.

EFFECT: enhanced effectiveness of treatment; accelerated treatment course.
