STUDY ON IONTOPHORESIS THERAPY AT GENITOURINARY LESION

ESP. GONORRHEAL URETHRITIS OF MALE

Abstract

Sulfamin, Penicillin etc. was very popular and welcomed at the first, but soon became ineffective after prolonged treatment with large doses. We had been using the former treatment which were not satisfactory.
I had been studied, correlation of pH between mucosa and bacteria, and discovered especially mucosal pH at Ureth. gono. was over 8 (Table 1).
Then, I filled the apparatus (Fig. 1) with phy. NaCl solution, put sekretus in, well mixed, and electrolized. After 30 minutes, the sekretus collected in the Anode (+side).
Concerning cultured gonococcus, bacillus, eosin, fuchsin etc. as well as upper, but small portion of tuberculosis bact. collected in the Cathode as methylen blue. These, I think, will cause that G. Co dyed well with m. b. and Gram negative.
Fig. 2 shows that m. b. infiltrated into rectum mucosa of human body about 5m/m depth as hemisphere.
To apply to urethritis, I used silver bar, wrapped in cotton, wet by 0.05% AgNO₃ solution, which is not only unirritable but also continuously Ag ion is producted (Fig. 3).
Microscoping urethra mucosa, which is excised after the treatment, Ag granula infiltrated into submucosal tissue (Fig. 5).
Low frequency rectangular current is the most convenient form for this therapy compared with another waves (Fig. 4).
(Appendix)
The upper current is also the effective form of stimulation when the patients are suffered from impotencia coeundi (Fig. 6).
