Changes in prostatic circulation in response to laser therapy and magnetic therapy in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia
(Date: 2005)
The results of preoperative preparation were analysed in 59 patients with prostatic benign hyperplasia (PBH) subjected to TUR. Treatment outcomes were assessed by transrectal ultrasound (color Doppler mapping) in two groups of patients. Group 1 received combined therapy including transrectal laser radiation of the prostate, group 2--transrectal magnetotherapy. The analysis showed that laser radiation reduced insignificantly the size of the prostate and adenomatous node, improved microcirculation and circulation in the prostate. This resulted in relief of inflammation and reduction of the number of postoperative inflammatory complications. Transrectal magnetotherapy has a positive effect on vascularization and hemodynamics of the prostate, local immunity, contamination of the tissues with pathogenic flora.
(Date: 1998)
Lipid peroxidation activity is an essential factor in development of chronic inflammation of the prostate when local and general antioxidant defense are diminished. This fact says in favor of using antioxidants in the treatment of chronic prostatitis. Positive effects of nonenzymic and enzymic bioantioxidants (alpha-tocopherol and ceruloplasmin, respectively) were achieved in combination with rectal magnetotherapy.

Effect of Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy on Prostate Volume and Vascularity in the Treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: A Pilot Study in a Canine Model
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a result of urogenital aging. Recent studies suggest that an age-related impairment of the blood supply to the lower urinary tract plays a role in the development of BPH and thus may be a contributing factor in the pathogenesis of BPH. The canine prostate is a model for understanding abnormal growth of the human prostate gland. We studied the efficacy of pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMF) in dogs to modify prostate blood flow and evaluated its effect on BPH.

Soon non-surgical treatment for enlarged prostate
There is a good news for elderly gentlemen who are more susceptible to suffer from benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), an age-related enlargement of the prostate as they may not have to go under a knife if a non-invasive process that has worked for dogs also works for humans.
The method used in the study to treat dogs with BPH was pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMF).
PEMF is a non-invasive method that generates both an electrical and magnetic field and is used in orthopaedics, neurology, and urology.
PEMF is very low frequency pulsed energy waves, also described as a weak non-thermal electromagnetic field.
“Previous studies have suggested that reduced blood flow to the prostate gland and resulting inflammation contribute to the development of BPH. We know that PEMF has positive effects on similar conditions, so we thought it might also heal BPH or may be even prevent BPH from developing,” said Raffaella Leoci, lead scientist on the study and a researcher at University of Bari in Italy.
The study included 20 dogs with BPH. They received treatment with PEMF for five minutes, twice a day for three weeks. The device was simply held over the skin where the prostate is located.
An average 57 percent reduction in the size of the prostate resulted from PEMF treatment in only three weeks, a remarkable improvement.
The efficacy of PEMF on BPH in dogs, with no side effects, suggests that it might be a great treatment in humans.
The study appeared in the journal The Prostate.
