The present invention relates to a means for treating various diseases by using light emitted from a light emitting diode or a laser diode, and in particular, the prostate treatment means through the rectum and the means for treating through the perineum can be used interchangeably as one system. It relates to a prostate and perineal treatment device using a light emitting diode or a laser diode.

In general, prostate disease is a disease mainly occurring in adult men, and includes erectile dysfunction due to prostatitis, prostatic hypertrophy, prostate cancer and prostate disease. As a means for treating a disease related to the prostate gland, heat therapy, drug therapy, surgical methods, and the like are known, and in particular, the heat therapy is to kill the causative agent of prostate disease at 40-45 ^o higher than the temperature inside the human body, This heat therapy, when heat from 42.5 ° C to 45 ° C, in which tumor necrosis is applied, improves the function of the entire prostate without affecting normal tissues and prevents prostate cancer as well as treating prostate cancer. You can expect.

Because prostate disease can be easily cured by applying heat close to the correct site, relying solely on surgery and drugs has resulted in inefficient, material and time loss.

Conventionally, as a means for effectively treating a prostate disease, there is a "prostate disease treatment device using a near-infrared light-emitting diode" of the patent application 2004-91319 filed by the applicant, which is formed in the forward oblique massage portion A cylindrical probe housing having a narrow diameter anal support portion is formed at a lower portion thereof, and a support groove for vertically supporting the lower end portion of the probe housing is installed at one end thereof, and at the other end thereof is vertically installed in a pedestal and probe housing having a wire connected to a power supply and a control unit. It consists of a light emitting member consisting of a near infrared light emitting diode attached to a substrate and a vibration member fixedly installed in the probe housing.

The perineum located in the middle of the anus and genitals is used as the perineum, which means that the perineum is gathered. It is recognized as an important part. When heat is applied to the perineum, blood is spread evenly throughout the body, and in particular, prostateitis and hypertrophy cancer are treated by attaching moxibustion or mugwort pads to the perineum, or by applying heat. Infrared therapy, which exposes infrared to the perineum to treat wounds, promotes healing of wounds and eases pain. Like this, the perineum is a place where all the blood and blood of the human body are gathered into the perineum, so massage or heat the perineum to prove the excellent effect on prostate or genital-related treatment.

Thus, known methods that can be treated by stimulating the perineum or applying heat are as follows.

Most patients with prostatitis are accompanied by excessive tension in the perineal muscles, and in the case of prostate disease, stimulating and relaxing the perineal muscles promotes the treatment.If the perineum is physically stimulated or heated, the prostate gland can be treated and prevented. In addition, women have long been known to be effective in treating urinary incontinence, as well as in enhancing energy.

In particular, the heat treatment method by light is a situation that is widely practiced in recent years because the method is simple and excellent therapeutic effect.

In the above invention, there is disclosed a pad mechanism which is a means for treating the perineum by infrared rays, and the pad mechanism includes a top plate and a bottom plate, a light emitting member, a heat insulating filler, and a vibrating member for use in close contact between the perineal region and the anus. It is composed.

The pad device of the present invention is to assist in the treatment of prostate disease, or to stimulate the perineum and improve vibrancy and urinary incontinence. However, since the overall appearance of the pad is only applied to the perineum, there is a problem that a separate prostate treatment device must be used for effective treatment of prostate disease.

As described above, the prostate and the perineum are closely related to each other, and it is preferable that the treatment is performed in parallel or selectively. Because each is separately configured, the user not only has different cost loss in preparing each of these treatment devices, but also hassle-free handling and storage, so by selecting and using only one treatment method even though the two treatment methods are useful for the treatment. There was a problem that the treatment effect is lowered.

In addition, prostate disease and energy decline is closely related to each other, depending on the cause or condition of the rectal treatment may be useful, and the perineum treatment is useful when the peripheral blood circulation is less than the disease of the prostate itself. can do. Therefore, although the therapist should be able to easily select or replace the two treatment means, the conventional treatment device did not satisfy the treatment needs of the therapist.

The present invention has been researched and developed in order to solve the above problems, in the means for treating by light emitted from a light emitting diode or a laser diode, it is intended to be compatible with the prostate and perineum as a device.

Another technical problem of the present invention is to simplify the use of the treatment device used in the vertical direction vertically and horizontally so that anyone can easily know the treatment method and directly treat.

The present invention is a known prostate treatment device equipped with a light emitting diode or a laser diode therein, comprising a support member formed with a coupling space on the upper side separate from the prostate treatment, the lower side of the prostate treatment unit in the coupling space It is configured to bind and decompose.

When used alone, the prostate treatment device is used in a conventional manner to treat prostate disease by inserting into the rectum.

In addition, in order to treat through the perineum, when the treatment unit is coupled to the coupling space portion is maintained in a horizontal state is easily in close contact with the perineum.

As such, the prostate treatment device may be used alone or in combination with a support member to appropriately respond to the treatment site.

Hereinafter, the configuration and operation of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Figure 6 is an exemplary view showing a state used as a treatment means for prostate disease, Figure 6 is an exemplary view showing a state of treating the present invention through the perineum, Figure 7 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of the present invention.

1 and 2, the prostate treatment device (T) for treating various diseases by the light emitted from the light emitting diodes or laser diodes, and the perineum in the state combined with the prostate treatment device (T) It consists of a support member (R) for treatment through.

As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the prostate treatment device (T) is a cylindrical probe housing (3) formed with an anteriorly inclined massage part (1) on the upper side and a narrow anal support (2) formed on the lower part. And, one end of the light source attached to the substrate (5) installed in the probe housing (3) and the pedestal (4) provided with a wire that is connected to the external power source and the control unit to support the lower end of the probe housing (3) It consists of a light generating member (7) consisting of an element (6) and a vibrating member (8) fixedly installed in the probe housing (3).

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the support member R constitutes a support body 11 that is formed in a curved surface on an upper surface thereof and is elongated in the longitudinal direction in the front and rear surfaces thereof in a plane. The coupling space 12 is formed long in the front and rear direction on the upper surface. In addition, the coupling space 12 is formed in the semicircular shape of the cross-section of the inner surface 14 recessed downward and the opening 13 is formed in the outer and open at the top, and also elastically at regular intervals on the inner surface 14 A plurality of vaginal vibration dampers 15 are attached.

When the prostate treatment device T is coupled to the coupling space 12, the lower body 3b of the probe housing 3 is embedded in the coupling space 12 and projected while being in close contact with the dustproof opening 15. The upper body 3a on which the window 16 is formed is configured to be exposed to the outside through the opening 13.

In addition, the base 4 of the prostate treatment device (T) is installed so that the probe housing (3) is rotated at a right angle or any angle, such as 180 ^O to the point. As an example of the pedestal 4, as shown in Fig. 7, the pedestal 4 can be arranged to be folded.

As described above, the present invention is used to treat prostate disease by inserting it into the rectum or to use it as a therapeutic means such as prostate treatment, urinary incontinence treatment, and energy enhancement through perineum.

In order to use the present invention as a means for treating prostate disease, as shown in Figure 5, when the probe housing (3) is inserted into the rectum while maintaining the prostate treatment device (T) in the longitudinal direction, the projection window (16) is in the direction of the prostate gland is maintained in close contact by the anal support (2), and when the power is turned on in this state, the light emitted from the light generating element 6 is directed to the prostate side and the temperature by the light Treatment is performed by ascending and promoting blood circulation, and the therapeutic effect of the prostate is doubled by the vibration of the massage unit 1. Means for treating prostate disease by inserting a prostate treatment device (T) into the rectum is a known method, the action of the technical features of the present invention is as follows.

The present invention can be used as a method of adjuvant therapy and prevention of prostate disease, treatment of urinary incontinence in women, enhancement of energy, etc., as a method of irradiating and massaging light on the perineum, and for treating by means through the perineum as shown in FIG. , Prostate treatment device (T) and the support member (R) in a separated state, as shown in FIG.

That is, when the probe housing 3 of the prostate treatment device T is coupled to the coupling space 12 through the opening 13 of the supporting member R, as shown in FIG. 3, the prostate treatment device T Is placed horizontally in the front-rear direction, and the lower body 3b of the probe housing 3 is embedded in the coupling space 12 and the upper body 3a of the probe housing 3 is moved outward through the opening 13. When exposed, the outer surface of the lower body (3b) of the probe housing (3) embedded in the coupling space portion 12 is in close contact with the dustproof opening (15). Then, when the base 4 of the prostate treatment device (T) protrudes upwards, it becomes an obstacle when it comes in close contact with the perineal part, and if necessary, changes the direction of right angle or 180 ^O to remove the interference element.

3 and 6 in the state prepared as described above, if the present invention is in close contact with the treatment site, the upper body (3a) of the probe housing (3) is closely supported on the perineum and the anus, and the power is turned on As shown in FIG. 3, light such as infrared rays, visible rays, lasers, and the like is irradiated from the light generating element 6 to the perineal region through the projection window 16 by the substrate 5 to which external control information is input. Infrared rays irradiated into the perineum are converted into heat energy, thereby promoting blood circulation and generating nitric oxide. In this case, the vibrating member 8 massages the perineum to increase the therapeutic effect.

The vibration generated from the vibrating member 8 is transmitted to the perineal part while being suppressed as much as possible from being transmitted to the support member R by the anti-vibration opening 15.

As described above, when the treatment through the perineum is completed, the prostate treatment device and the support member are appropriately decomposed according to the treatment method, such as disassembling the prostate treatment device T from the support member R as a means for treating prostate disease. It can be decomposed and combined.

In addition, as shown in Figures 8 and 9, when the heating member (H) is installed in the support member (R), not only the heat treatment effect is increased by the heat emitted from the support member (R). As the cold air is removed, the contact feeling becomes pleasant.

The heating member H may be selectively used, such as a light emitting diode or an electrothermal coil, and in particular, when the light emitting diode is used, the therapeutic effect is supplemented with the prostate treatment device by the light generated from the light emitting diode as well as the heat treatment effect. Is raised.

As described above, the present invention has the effect of being able to appropriately convert the form of the prostate treatment device according to the area to be treated, that is, the prostate or the perineum, so that it can be easily coped with one device according to the treatment means.

In addition, since the use of the prostate treatment device is changed when the prostate treatment device is coupled to the support member, the therapists can easily operate by simply operating as needed.

In addition, it can be used in the perineum without changing the appearance of the prostate treatment device, and can be manufactured at a minimum manufacturing cost since it can be used as it is conventionally developed prostate treatment device.

In addition, when the prostate treatment device is attached to the support member for treatment, the prostate treatment device can be treated in close contact with the desired perineal area and thus can be treated more effectively.

As described above, the present invention is an advantageous invention that can be easily applied to diseases of the genital system such as the prostate gland, the incidence of which is gradually increased in modern people, to improve the quality of life and to manufacture them at a minimum cost and to popularize them.
