WHAT IS PENILE SHOCK WAVE THERAPY

Sound waves emitted from the machine is transmitted deep into tissue to stimulate growth of new tissue and hence repair.

Shock wave therapy is widely used in medical field like in urology to break kidney stone, or in physiotherapy to treat muscular and joint pain and injuries.

HOW DOES SHOCK WAVE HELPS ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION

Erection of the penis is achieved by filling up the spongy tissue with blood. If the flow of the blood through the spongy tissue is poor, the erection is poor too. Many factors can cause poor flow to the penis. Medical illnesses like diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia can affect erection. Also, smoking can also injure the spongy tissue causing poor blood flow to the penis.

How shockwave helps with new vessel growth in erectile dysfunction

There are many medical studies recently to confirm the effectiveness of shock wave therapy in erectile dysfunction. The shock waves are transmitted into spongy tissue of the penis to stimulate new vessel growth which in turn causing the spongy tissue to rejuvenate. There is also hypothesis that the shockwave therapy causes micro injury to the spongy tissue of the penis and this causes some nitric oxide release at the penis. Nitric oxide is the natural vasodilator (like ‘viagra’).

HOW IS SHOCK WAVE THERAPY DONE ON PENIS

  1. Shock wave therapy is a medical procedure to be performed by trained medical personnel. It is to be done directly on the penis spongy tissue using a shock wave machine. Shock waves are being delivery along the shaft of the penis. It is a painless procedure which only takes about 15 minutes to complete. You will only feel ‘knocking’ sensation during the procedure. This is when the sound waves transmit into the penis tissue.

  2. Most studies recommend 2 treatment sessions per week for 3 weeks and then a rest period of 3 months and then a repeat cycle of 2 sessions per week for 3 weeks. Then the result is good to last for 1 year.
