Treatment of prostatitis with a laser

The first warning signs of progressive prostatitis should be discussed with a specialized specialist. To do this, a man must visit a urologist, who, based on the results of examination and analyzes, will identify the cause of the inflammatory process, and will prescribe an effective treatment. The advanced stage of prostatitis is more difficult to treat and medications are unlikely to be effective. In some cases, specialists prescribe laser treatment for prostatitis.

Definition of laser therapy

Treatment of the prostate with a laser procedure is a painless, time-consuming procedure. Laser therapy is radiation that helps to activate the regenerating processes of tissues and cells in the male body.

• Thanks to laser therapy, microcirculation of organs in the pelvis is improved.
• During the use of drug treatment, with the help of a laser, the active substances of the drugs penetrate the plasma better and faster, thereby providing a quick therapeutic effect.
• Laser radiation helps to eliminate puffiness, neoplasms on the affected tissues that have arisen during the process of inflammation.
• The laser eliminates painful sensations of the prostate, which occurs during prostatitis.
• The laser procedure promotes the disinfection and healing of the prostate gland.

An operation with the elimination of pathological formations of various kinds means point effects on certain areas of injured tissues with laser radiation, which occurs for a short time.

The course of manipulations is usually carried out in 10-15 sessions. The number of recommended procedures is prescribed by a specialist, based on the course and stage of prostate pathology.

Varieties of laser therapy

Laser therapy is recommended for prostatitis to eliminate symptoms, as an additional measure to a comprehensive treatment regimen for the inflammatory process of the prostate gland. In other words, the urologist first prescribes medications that have anti-inflammatory efficacy.

This method of treatment is usually prescribed when a patient has an acute or chronic form of pathology. Laser exposure is considered a physiotherapy method.

Laser treatment is carried out in two ways, each with similar efficacy, but used at different stages of prostate inflammation:

• The transrectal technique is an impact on the affected area by a direct method (the device is inserted into the patient's rectum). After the session, blood supply is restored, microcirculation in the bloodstream is improved, and puffiness with congestion is eliminated. This method is used to reduce the size of focal inflammation. Most often, this technique is used at the stage of treatment of the acute prostate.
• Percutaneous technique - surgical intervention is called, which is explained by radiation through the patient's skin. This procedure is carried out for the treatment of the chronic course of the pathology or for the prevention of the prostate gland.

Laser manipulation progress

Rectal method. The procedure (laser therapy for prostatitis) is performed by introducing a special laser nozzle, which is designed to direct the beam to the injured area. Thanks to this effect, the prostate gland is stimulated. A treatment session lasts one to five minutes.

Percutaneous method - the laser acts through the epidermis. To do this, a damp gauze is placed in the groin area, onto which the radiation flux is directed (due to this, the laser acts on the diseased prostate).

Point treatment in this technique allows the laser to act on specific points that affect the smooth functioning of the male gland. The points are located in the lumbar region, neck, chest, perineum. This technique is used for therapeutic and prophylactic purposes.

When is laser therapy indicated

The therapeutic method provided by laser radiation is the most common procedure that has proven its physiotherapy effectiveness.

Sessions are recommended when:

• infectious prostatitis;
• prostatitis caused by blood and lymph congestion;
• prostatitis, which was provoked by inflammatory diseases of the urinary tract and urinary system;
• erectile dysfunction;
• infertility;
• prostatitis complicated by adenoma;
• impaired blood supply to organs in the small pelvis;
• when eliminating infection in the organs of the genitourinary system.

When shouldn't laser therapy be used

In addition to indications, the procedure has contraindications, which are distributed in the form of exceptions for laser treatment when:

• vascular pathologies of the brain of the head and bloodstream;
• CNS disorders;
• diseases with impaired cardiac activity and other hematopoietic organs;
• tuberculosis of any course, both with prostatitis and with other pathologies;
• diseases in which the sensitivity to different lighting is increased.

Positive aspect of manipulation

In comparison with other methods of treatment of pathologies of the urinary and genital area, as well as prostatitis, the laser procedure has a number of advantages:

• pain relief at the site of the inflammatory process;
• microcirculation improves, stagnant processes are eliminated, the possibility of conducting preventive sessions;
• prevention of blood clots;
• enhances the protective functions in the body for local purposes;
• drug effects are enhanced during the treatment of prostatitis;
• improved absorption of antibiotics, which has a positive effect during treatment.

What are the features of this technique

After using the laser during treatment with an integrated approach, it is required to implement some of the recommendations of specialists. With unquestioning adherence to the rules, the healing process is significantly accelerated, which improves the general condition of the patient.

Before starting the choice of therapeutic therapy, the patient undergoes a medical examination. The urologist prescribes the delivery of tests for a more accurate diagnosis of pathology with the identification of the cause and stage of the disease. Based on the collected anamnesis, a specialized specialist selects an effective therapy method, in each case individually.

If laser therapy is prescribed, then a man must adhere to all the doctor's recommendations, only in this case the best result is possible.

Before the session, the patient should not empty the urine for several hours

After the physiotherapy procedure, the patient empties the urine to remove toxins from the body.

This physiotherapy procedure is an undeniable breakthrough in medicine. The first results of an improved patient's condition are visible after the first session. The man feels better, the disturbing symptoms are less pronounced. In some cases, discomfort and painful sensations disappear altogether.

Treatment of prostatitis cannot be postponed indefinitely, since the disease is dangerous for its complications, against which adenoma and even cancer can occur.
