prostate bench
Explanation:
I think 'banco prostático' is the bench or seat in a hydrotherapy pool or similar to provide relief for prostate symptoms.

It is known as a 'sitz bath', i.e., a sitting position is used.

The Sitz Bath was ... specifically used for prostate pain as well as hemmorhoid pain, menstrual pain and bowel pain.

hydrotherapy helps to stimulate circulation in the prostate area

But as a bath or pool isn't specifically mentioned in your text I would play it safe and translate it as 'prostate bench/seat' rather than 'Sitz bath'.

agree  Rachel Fell: sounds reasonable, though I think "prostate seat" seems to get better G results than "~ bench"

  -> Thanks Rachel, yes, 'prostate seat' gets more hits.
