What is shockwave therapy?
The clinical term for this treatment is low-intensity electro-shockwave therapy (Li ESWT).
Shockwave therapy does not rely on medications or surgeries. Instead, it uses low-intensity sound waves that are applied to penile tissues.
These waves help to get rid of micro plaque within existing blood vessels as well as aid in the growth of new blood vessels. It can also help stimulate nerve function. This increased blood flow and renewed nerve function allows for stronger longer-lasting erections and enhanced sexual performance.
5 Benefits of Shockwave Therapy
Blood flow
- Shockwave therapy can help improve blood flow to the penis by stimulating the growth of new blood vessels.
With the help of low-intensity acoustic waves, shockwave therapy can induce growth hormones. This in turn leads to the growth of new blood vessels in the affected area.
Nerve function
- Shockwave therapy can help improve nerve function and increase sensitivity in the penis.
It may also have a positive effect on the nervous system in the penis as it can stimulate the production of nerve growth factor (NGF), a protein involved in the growth, survival and maintenance of nerve cells.
Non-Invasive
- It is a non-invasive treatment for men and does not require any form of anaesthesia. A hand-held applicator is positioned on the skin over the area to be treated. Once the treatment is complete, you will be able to return home.
Safe treatment with few side effects
- Shockwave therapy is a safe treatment option with minimal side effects. It does not cause any damage to surrounding nerves and blood vessels.
Unlike oral medications which can cause headaches, nausea and other side effects, shockwave therapy does not cause any adverse reactions.
Long-Term Results
- One of the biggest benefits of shockwave is that it can provide long-term results.
Unlike oral medications which only provide temporary relief from symptoms, shockwave therapy is designed to address the underlying cause of erectile dysfunction.
What are the possible side effects?
While some patients may experience mild discomfort or bruising at the site of the treatment, these side effects are typically temporary and resolve on their own within a few days.
Does shockwave therapy work?
One systematic review published in 2017 looked at 14 studies involving 833 men with erectile dysfunction. All involved men with erectile dysfunction were treated using low-intensity shockwave therapy.
The review concluded that shockwave therapy caused a significant improvement in men’s erectile health. While shockwave therapy caused a significant improvement overall, the biggest improvement was observed in men with mild to moderate erectile dysfunction.
A different meta-analysis, also published in 2017, looked at data from seven clinical trials with more than 600 participants. It also concluded that shockwave therapy produced a significant improvement in erectile function compared to non-therapeutic treatment.
These studies prove that shockwave therapy can significantly help alleviate ED in men.
