Anti-inflammatory electrophoresis
Dimexide penetrates through the skin and mucous membranes deeper than most drugs, relieves inflammation and pain, reduces swelling and “carries” drugs added to the solution with it - for prostatitis, this is how antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are administered to the gland. The procedure feels like a slight tingling sensation; a characteristic garlic odor is possible - a normal feature of the drug. A course of 8–10 sessions daily or every other day is combined with prostate massage and medications.
Indications
- chronic prostatitis, vesiculitis - anti-inflammatory and absorbable effect;
- scars, adhesions, sclerosis (lidaza), Peyronie's disease, urethral strictures after surgery;
- chronic inflammatory diseases of the appendages and pelvic adhesions (lidasis);
- arthrosis, arthritis, tendonitis, back pain (dimexide, anti-inflammatory);
- postoperative infiltrates.
Contraindications
- malignant tumors and suspicion of them in the affected area;
- acute infections with fever, purulent processes before drainage;
- bleeding and tendency to it;
- pacemaker (for electro- and magnetic therapy), metal implants in the treatment area;
- pregnancy (to affect the pelvic and abdominal area);
- decompensated heart disease, epilepsy (individually).
How it works
Direct current transports drug ions through the skin into deep tissues, where they accumulate and act for a long time - this achieves a high local concentration without systemic side effects. Lidaza (hyaluronidase) softens and resolves scars and adhesions; Dimexide has an anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect and enhances the penetration of other drugs. The current itself further improves blood flow. Course of 8–10 procedures.
