Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a prostate hypertrophy treatment device using a high-frequency pulsed electromagnetic field.

[Prior art] The prostate, which had a secretory function from adolescence to middle age, began to decrease testosterone production after 50 years of age, atrophy changes, and the function decreases, but from this time around the gland around the urethra Fibromuscular or glandular nodules appear in the (internal glands) and gradually form large nodules.
Because the prostate as a whole becomes larger due to such nodule formation, it is called prostatic hypertrophy. Since nodule formation increases with age, it is almost a necessary phenomenon in elderly boys. However, it becomes a target of treatment when it shows clinical symptoms at the age of 60 or over and around 70. Prostatic hyperplasia itself is a benign disease, but when it progresses and increases, there is a problem in that the obstruction of the urinary tract causes liver failure as well as urinary dysfunction.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

Surgery is the root treatment for prostatic hyperplasia that has progressed to some extent, but for those with slow progress, to improve congestion in the pelvic cavity, a hot compress or drug therapy (oral medicine: Ebiprostat (registered trademark), Cell-Luton (registered trademark))
And so on.

However, warm compresses have low blood circulation-promoting effects, failing to provide effective therapeutic results, and drug treatments have side effects and problems with allergic constitution. Therefore, treatments that do not rely on drugs have long been desired.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a prostate hyperplasia treatment device which can be used easily by anyone and can obtain a high therapeutic effect.

[Means for solving the problem]

The prostate hypertrophy treatment device according to claim (1) is provided with a bendable sheet material in the vicinity of the anus of the underwear, a loop antenna for high-frequency oscillation provided on the sheet material, and a high-frequency oscillator for transmitting a high-frequency signal to the loop antenna. It is provided in.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a prostate hypertrophy treatment device in which a high-frequency oscillation loop antenna and a high-frequency oscillator transmitting a high-frequency signal to the loop antenna are provided in a capsule that can be inserted into the anus.

(Operation)

According to the prostate hypertrophy treatment device of claim (1), the prostate site is irradiated with a high-frequency pulsed electromagnetic field signal from a loop antenna provided in the vicinity of the anus of the underwear to promote blood circulation and treat prostatic hypertrophy. Anyone can easily use it just by looking at the underwear, and since the high-frequency pulsed electromagnetic field is used, the blood circulation promoting action is large and a high therapeutic effect can be obtained.

According to the prostatic hypertrophy treatment device of claim (2), high-frequency pulsed electromagnetic field signals are emitted from the loop antenna of the capsule inserted into the anus to treat prostatic hypertrophy.
It can be easily used simply by inserting it into the capsule anus, and has a large blood circulation promoting effect, and a high therapeutic effect can be obtained.

〔Example〕

First Embodiment A first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 1 and FIG.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 10 denotes a base (pants, panties), and a bendable sheet material 11 is attached to a portion near the anus on the bottom surface. On the sheet material 11, a loop antenna 12 for high frequency oscillation is installed. Reference numeral 13 denotes a high-frequency oscillator, which is connected to the loop antenna 12 via a lead 14. A high-frequency pulse electromagnetic field signal is transmitted from the high-frequency oscillator 13 to the loop antenna 12 through the lead 14. A battery (not shown) that supplies a voltage to the high-frequency oscillator 13
Is also provided in the underwear.

FIG. 2 shows an anatomical model of the prostate. The prostate 15 is at the outlet of the bladder 16, around the urethra 17. The prostate hypertrophy treatment device shown in FIG. 1 irradiates a high frequency pulsed electromagnetic field signal to a site 19 near the anus 18. The vicinity of the anus 19 is close to the prostate 15, and is intended to improve local blood circulation at the part of the prostate 15 by a high-frequency pulsed electromagnetic field to treat prostatic hypertrophy.

In general, it is known that the contraction and relaxation of blood vessels are caused by the regulation (increase / decrease) of the calcium ion concentration in the muscle fiber (cell) membrane by physical or chemical stimulation. In addition, it has been found that blood flow promotion can be obtained by suppressing the increase in calcium ion concentration as a vascular effect of a high-frequency pulsed electromagnetic field, that is, by suppressing the contraction of blood vessels (arterioles). Blocking vasoconstriction ", see Mitsuhiko Miura and Junichi Okada, [September 1988, Kitakanto Medical Volume 38, No. 5]).

Therefore, the high-frequency pulsed electromagnetic field promotes blood circulation at the site of the prostate 15, enhances cellular metabolism in the tissue, and enhances the secretion fluid translocation into the prostate cells, thereby increasing the therapeutic effect.

According to the prostatic hypertrophy treatment device configured as described above, the loop antenna 12 is naturally located in the vicinity of the anus 19 simply by wearing the underwear 10 normally, so that anyone can use it easily.

In addition, the high-frequency pulsed electromagnetic field promotes local blood circulation in prostate tissue, and enhances cellular metabolism in the tissue,
It can increase the stasis of secretions and obtain a high therapeutic effect.

Second Embodiment FIG. 3 shows a second embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment comprises a capsule 20 insertable into the anus,
Numeral 20 is a hollow plastic resin material, and the tip side has a small diameter. In the capsule 20, a coil-shaped loop antenna 21, a high-frequency oscillator 22 to which a lead (not shown) of the loop antenna 21 is connected, and a battery 23 for supplying a voltage to the high-frequency oscillator 22 are provided.

The capsule 20 is inserted from the anus 18 in FIG.
A high-frequency pulsed electromagnetic field is emitted from the loop antenna 21 to the site 24 closest to the prostate 15, thereby promoting blood circulation.

In the prostate hypertrophy treatment device thus configured,
It can be used simply by inserting the capsule 20 into the anus,
And a high therapeutic effect can be obtained.

In the example of FIG. 4, the capsule 20 is covered with a removable sack 25 made of rubber or the like. Since the inside of the anus is easily stained and is not hygienic at the time of re-use, it is covered with a sack 25 so that it can always be used in a clean state.

In the example shown in FIG. 5, a string 26 is attached to the capsule so that the capsule 20 does not move to the upper part of the rectum, and the capsule 20 can be easily taken out.

In the example of FIG. 6, a collar 28 is provided at the rear end of the capsule 27. When the capsule 27 is inserted into the anus, the collar 28 is caught by the anus and the capsule 27 is prevented from moving to the upper part of the rectum. Things. For this reason, the loop antenna 21 is always located near the prostate, and effective treatment can be performed.

Further, the example shown in FIG.
A hard collar 30 is formed at the rear end of the rectum to prevent movement to the upper part of the rectum, as in the example of FIG.

〔The invention's effect〕

According to the prostatic hypertrophy treatment device of claim (1), the prostate site is irradiated with a high-frequency pulsed electromagnetic field signal from a loop antenna provided in the vicinity of the anus of the underwear to promote blood circulation and treat prostatic hypertrophy. Anyone can easily use it just by seeing the underwear, and furthermore, the use of the high-frequency pulsed electromagnetic field has a large blood circulation promoting effect, and has an effect that a high therapeutic effect can be obtained.

According to the prostate hypertrophy treatment device of claim (2), high-frequency pulsed electromagnetic field signals are emitted from the loop antenna of the capsule inserted into the anus to treat prostatic hypertrophy.
There is an effect that the capsule can be easily used simply by inserting the capsule into the anus, and the blood circulation promoting action is large and a high therapeutic effect can be obtained.
