What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy for erectile dysfunction (ED) is a non-invasive treatment aimed at improving erectile function and restoring sexual performance. This therapy involves the use of low-intensity shockwaves, which are delivered directly to the penis using a specialized device. These shockwaves stimulate the growth of new blood vessels and improve blood flow to the penis, ultimately enhancing erectile function. The treatment typically consists of a series of sessions conducted over several weeks, with each session lasting around 15 to 20 minutes.
Process
Shockwave therapy is administered with a wand-like device placed near different areas of the penis. A healthcare professional moves the device along parts of your penis for about 15 minutes while it emits gentle pulses. No anesthesia is needed. 4 sessions are planned at our centre with a gap of 2 days. The pulses trigger improved blood flow and tissue remodeling in the penis. Both of these changes can lead to erections sufficient for sex.
