E-stim for prostate problems?

I was chatting with a member who said that his urologist prescribed some kind of Russian electro stimulation machine to help with prostate problems. He didn't have specifics, but said it helped and felt nice to boot. Anyone here know of further details?

I think it's insane to go at your prostate with Russian , Russian is a setting on Functional Electronic Stimulation , a dont know many people who can handle russian its used for deep muscle activation / massage , i would describe at best as violent, even on a paralyzed limb that was dead to the world,it hurt alot , when I was first paralyzed my doctors thought well using FES i could maintain my muscles , even if I couldn't voluntarily move them , suffice it to say what they then thought was wrong wasn't, and my diligent attention to daily exercise , was the complete wrong thing it was killing me ,rather than maintaing my muscles so that was stopped , but i also had friend who accidently kicked his FES into Russian well attached to his penis , he lost all intrest into stim or sex for quite awhile , I really reccomend you explore Russian on arm, leg or abs before trying anything with your prostate know everything that mode is capable of from hi to low before going near your prostate , you might want to experiment with with a simple TENS device before spending $500 or $600 bucks on device capable of Russian, unless you have money to burn in case it's not your thing .

Oh...

I had thought Russian meant from Russia...

That sounds intense.

Why is the setting called Russian?

It appears to be named after where most of the research took place.

I think I'm really glad I didn't just go out, ask for "one of those Russian e-stim machines" and plug in my prostate.

They are rushing out the door afterwards
