Non-surgical, painless treatment for erectile dysfunction
Shock wave therapy (Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy – ESWT) is a non-invasive method used to treat a variety of medical conditions, most notably erectile dysfunction.
Important: This method works with acoustic waves applied from outside the body, requires no surgical intervention, and is generally painless.
How It Works
An ESWT device consists of three main components:
Energy Generator: Produces high-energy acoustic waves
Focusing System: Directs the waves to the treatment area
Applicator Head: The therapeutic component moved over the skin
Treatment Process
How Do Sessions Proceed?
The patient lies down on the examination table
The device head is positioned over the treatment area
Shock waves are applied for 12–15 minutes
A total of 6–8 sessions (once or twice a week) is recommended
Mechanism of Action
Shock waves stimulate the small blood vessels in the penis
They trigger the formation of new capillaries (angiogenesis)
They promote tissue regeneration
They improve nerve function
Advantages
No surgical intervention required
Painless or only mildly uncomfortable
Low risk of side effects
An alternative to medication
Effects are typically observed within 3–6 months
Who Is It Suitable For?
Mild to moderate erectile dysfunction
Erection problems of vascular origin
Peyronie's disease (penile curvature)
Loss of erectile function after prostate surgery
Cases that have not responded to other treatments
Possible Side Effects
Shock wave therapy is generally considered safe. Rare side effects include:
Mild bruising at the application site
Temporary sensitivity
Pain, very rarely
Note: This treatment may not be suitable for every patient. Your urology specialist will recommend the most appropriate treatment based on your individual situation.
