[Experience in treating chronic urethritis in men by iontophoresis and inductothermy].
A method for therapy of chronic urethritis by exposure to ionized solutions of drugs has been developed (Authors' Certificate of the USSR No. 876138). Active electrode is placed in the flask with the drug, passive one on the external surface of the body as close to the focus of involvement as possible. Ionized solution of the drug (2.5-3.1) is introduced into the urethra via a double-lumen catheter, washes its walls and saturates the mucosa; the solution is aspirated from the urethra through the other lumen of the catheter, thus removing the inflammation products from the urethra. Current density has made up 0.01-0.03 mA/cm2, length of session 12-15 min, 6-8 sessions per course. A device for local therapy of chronic urethritis by a combination of ionophoresis and inductothermy has been suggested (Authors' Certificate of the USSR No. 1084031). This device permits a simultaneous administration of 2 drugs: one from the tube via urethral mucosa, the other from the cuvette outwardly. Current density has made up 0.01-0.03 mA/cm2, with the current of 200 mA in the inductor. Length of inductometry and ionophoresis session is 10-15 min.
