Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ultrasonic therapeutic apparatus, concretely is a low intensity ultrasonic therapeutic apparatus. BACKGROUND

[0002] Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common disease in adult men, and the total incidence rate is about 22% to 58%, and the incidence rate increases with age. The pathogenic causes of ED are more than 50% of the organic causes in addition to the psychological causes, which are caused by vascular, neurological, surgery and trauma factors. Any disease that may cause abnormal blood flow in the corpus cavernosum of the penis, such as atherosclerosis, arterial injury, arterial stenosis, pudendal artery shunt and abnormal heart function, etc. can cause ED. Central and peripheral nerve diseases or injuries can also cause ED. Trauma or surgery can damage the blood vessels and nerves related to penile erection, which can cause ED. There are three ways to treat ED at present: drug therapy, physical therapy and surgical treatment.

[0003] Among them, the left and right sides of the penis are irradiated and treated by low-intensity extracorporeal shock waves (LI-ESWT) or low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS), which can repair damaged endothelial cells and nerve fibers in the corpus cavernosum, and can induce the generation of new blood vessels and nerves in the corpus cavernosum. It can significantly improve the erectile function of patients with mild to moderate vascular ED, achieve the effect of treating the symptoms and the root cause, and has no obvious adverse reactions.

[0004] However, the currently marketed low-intensity extracorporeal shock wave (LI-ESWT) treatment device or low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) treatment device has a large volume and weight of the treatment head, and needs a doctor to hold the treatment head to treat the penis of the patient. The doctor is easy to be tired during the treatment process; or use a special device to hold the treatment head to treat the penis of the patient, and after the patient changes the body position, the doctor needs to reposition the treatment head. A course of treatment is generally 1-2 months, and the treatment effect can be maintained for 6-12 months, and then continuous treatment is needed. In order to protect the privacy of the patient during treatment and save the time of going back and forth to the hospital for treatment, a low-intensity ultrasonic therapeutic apparatus that can be safely operated by the patient at home is urgently needed.
