Abstract :
This paper describes the design of a hardware-software technique and principles permitting the use of an ALMGP-01 apparatus for complex treatment of prostatitis by means of microwave heating, hydraulic heating and hydromechanical massaging. The method is implemented in several samples, the medical trials are carried out, and positive results are obtained.
