How is it administered Shock Wave Therapy?
The treatment typically involves multiple sessions, each lasting about 20 to 30 minutes. During these sessions, shock waves are applied to the genital area using a specialized device. The procedure is painless and does not require anesthesia, making it a comfortable option for many patients. A series of treatments is generally recommended to achieve optimal results, and continuous follow-up care is crucial for monitoring progress and effectiveness.
Shock Wave Therapy for Erectile Dysfunction
Shock wave therapy is a non-invasive treatment for addressing erectile dysfunction (ED), usually chosen by patients who have tried oral medications without success or want to try more natural approaches for enhancing their intimate health. It consists in applying targeted high-energy sound waves to the erectile area. This allows blood flow improvement and tissue repair.
How Is Shock Wave Therapy Administered?
Once you get to your practitioner’s office the day of your appointment, they will make sure that your genital area is clean and apply a special gel for proper shock wave transmission. After that, they will place the handheld probe near your penis and let it emit high-energy but gentle sound waves for 15 or 20 minutes.
This is a painless procedure that does not require anesthesia. Over the course of the session, your healthcare professional will move the device around, allowing the pulses to penetrate your skin and stimulate blood flow and tissue repair. Most likely, patients need several sessions to achieve optimal results.
Why Choose Shock Wave Therapy for ED?
Shock wave therapy can be a great option for addressing erectile dysfunction due to its:
- Non-invasive nature: As it promotes healing and regeneration in erectile tissue without requiring anesthesia or incisions.
- Minimal side effects.
- Improved blood flow: It helps to repair and strengthen blood vessels in the penis, generally leading to stronger and lasting erections.
- Better intimate performance: With improved erectile function and increased satisfaction and libido.
- Long-lasting results: Shock wave therapy results can last for a year or more.
- Alternative to ED medications: For those patients who haven’t achieved considerable results with oral prescriptions, prefer a non-pharmaceutical approach, or have an underlying condition that makes them more prone to dangerous side effects.
