HOW SHOCK WAVE THERAPY CAN HELP MEN WITH ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION?

 

Shock wave therapy is also known as “LOW INTENSITY SHOCK WAVE THERAPY”. It is a non-invasive therapy & it is one of the many treatment options for ED. It works well in the patients with vasculogenic erectile dysfunction. Shock wave therapy consists of non-invasive low intensity sound waves that usually pass through erectile tissue & restore the natural function of the penis by clearing the plaque out of blood vessels & also encourages the growth of new blood vessels. This therapy usually administered in a man with ED through a wand-like device placed near different areas of the penis. The device will be moved along the parts of the penis for about 15 minutes; no anesthesia is needed before performing this procedure as it usually is a painless process. The trigger of the pulses improved the blood flow & also causes tissue remodeling into the penis; both of these mechanism can lead to erection of the penis that is sufficient for sex.
