PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a prostatomegaly treating device for identifying a degenerated tissue from the hardness distribution of the prostate and judging a therepeutic effect form the comparison of a degenerated part and a part to be treated. SOLUTION: This device is provided with a catheter 2 with a balloon 3 to be inserted form the urethra of a subject, ultrasonic tomographic image parts 5 and 6 for inserting an ultrasonic probe 31 from the rectum 23 of the patient and tomographic images of the prostate 21, ultrasonic wave irradiation parts 5 and 6 for treating the hypertrophic of the prostate 21 by the irradiation of ultrasonic waves from the ultrasonic probe 31, a display part 4 for displaying the tomographic images and a control part 5 for controlling the operation of the catheter with the balloon and the the tomographic images. The size of the balloon is controlled, the prostate is pressurized from the urethra, the tomogram is imaged and the tomographic images before and after pressurization are displayed side by side at the display part. Thus, during prostate treatment by strong ultrasonic waves or after the treatment, the effect of the therapy is easily and accurately judged. |
