Description

{Apparatus for curing prostate diseases}

The present invention relates to a prostate disease therapeutic apparatus for relieving symptoms of enlarged prostate.

Generally, prostate disease is a disease that mainly occurs in adult men, including prostatitis, prostate hypertrophy, prostate cancer, and impotence due to prostate disease. The heat treatment, the drug treatment, and the surgical method are known as means for treating the diseases related to the prostate. In particular, the heat treatment necroses the causative bacteria of the prostate disease at a temperature higher than the temperature inside the human body at 40 to 45 ° C, The excellence of the treatment has been widely proven. However, the prostate has difficulty in penetrating the inside of the prostate due to its structural characteristics, and it is not easy to accurately locate the disease. Therefore, prostate disease is a relatively simple disease that can easily be treated by applying heat to the correct site, but it has caused huge human and time loss by relying on surgery.

In recent years, in order to examine the prostate disease, a test device equipped with an ultrasonic transmitter has been inserted into the rectum to examine the type and position of the prostate disease in the vicinity of the prostate. This is because it is necessary to detect the position of the inspecting machine inserted in the rectum by moving the hand directly to find the position, so that the inspection time is delayed due to unnecessary operation and precise inspection is not performed.

There is known a prosthetic disease treatment apparatus using a near-infrared light emitting diode in the prior art (Patent Document 10-2005-0046562). However, such a technique can not be applied to diseases such as cancer, which require active treatment among prostate diseases, The treatment effect was insufficient because deep penetration was not made, and heat could be applied as a whole, but heat could not be applied intensively to a specific site. Furthermore, since it is necessary to provide separate equipment to inspect the disease, time and economic losses are high.
