What is Shockwave Therapy for ED?
Low-Intensity Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (LIESWT) is one of the most evidence-based ED treatments out there which has been practiced for many years. For many patients, it has been at least equal or superior to pills, implants, and surgeries.
Shockwave therapy for vasculogenic ED effectively consists of a set of in-office, painless, non-invasive treatments that repair, rebuild, and restore blood vessels to increase your natural blood flow. The optimal treatment practice is six (6) treatments at two treatments per week for three weeks. ShockWave involves focusing low-intensity waves (pulses) at deep tissues within the perineal area at the base of the penis and the shaft of the penis and takes about 15 (ten) minutes per session.
By creating anatomical stresses these shockwave treatments induce the release of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) and Fibroblast Growth Factor which in turn stimulate processes known as neovascularization and angiogenesis. There is also some data that suggests that in animal studies that healing from shockwave therapy releases neutrophilic growth factors to suggest that it can potentially cause nerve regeneration and may be beneficial for patients with nerve injuries. Neovascularization and angiogenesis processes are even more effective when combined with the P-shot PRP to accelerate the production and repair of new blood vessels, and rebuild old ones, effectively creating improved penile blood circulation.
What problems does Shockwave Therapy address?
Recent studies show that at least 50% of men face Erectile dysfunction during their lifetime. Erectile dysfunction (ED) is one of the most common health issues that impact not only the quality of life of the affected patient but also his partner. The most common contributors to vasculogenic Erectile Dysfunction include:
- Aging
- Diabetes/Insulin resistance
- Certain medications (i.e. Blood pressure meds)
- Stress/Anxiety/Depression
- Poor diet/Obesity/Lack of mobility
- Smoking, drug or alcohol use
WHEN CAN YOU SEE THE RESULTS?
Most of our patients observe enhanced erections, improved sensitivity, and more spontaneous erections after the first 2-3 visits. However, individual results vary from patient to patient as various anatomical, physiological, age-related, hormonal factors, and comorbidities, such as diabetes or hypertension, would have to be accounted for as well. This procedure is mostly suited for men:
- with mild to moderate ED
- with no nerve injury (i.e had spinal injury or
- prostate removed)
- who don’t need oral meds like Viagra or Cialis
- who respond well to those meds
- who just recently stopped responding
