Sponsor's own description

It has been observed that out of all visits to the clinics by the young and middle age men for grievances including the genital and urinary frameworks, about 25% of the visits account for Prostatitis. A significant number of men, aged less than 50, visits to urologist due to Interminable prostatitis. Nevertheless, just 5 to10% of "prostatitis" cases is really caused by a bacterial contamination.

The purpose was to investigate thoroughly the effect of pumpkin seeds oil phonophoresis among males who are diagnosed with chronic non-bacterial prostatitis.
