Erectile dysfunction is defined as the sustained inability to achieve and maintain an erection sufficient to allow satisfactory sexual intercourse. Therefore, the first diagnosis is made by the patient himself when he becomes alarmed when he cannot achieve sufficient rigidity to penetrate the penis.
After a hard year of study to prepare for the MIR (medical internal resident) residency exam, I am proud to have achieved enough points to gain access to the largest urology department in Spain and with the longest tradition: Fundació Puigvert.
With technological advances, it is now possible to treat erectile dysfunction with the new shockwave treatment. This is a great innovation as it is the first treatment that acts at the root of the problem, the narrowing of the arteries or arteriosclerosis. In most cases erectile dysfunction is due to a lack of blood to the penis because of this problem.
It is a long-lasting treatment, as the patient will be able to enjoy the effect of the shockwaves once all the sessions have been completed. This is the main difference compared to other treatments, where the effects are only felt while the medication, cream or injection is being applied... Therefore, there is a high probability of success in "curing" erectile dysfunction.
Although this is a new treatment, shockwaves have been used in urology for quite some time. Specifically, they are used to treat kidney stones or urinary calculi. This same technology, low-energy, high-frequency shock waves, is being used to treat impotence.
To correct erectile dysfunction, shock waves form new blood vessels in the erectile tissue, enhancing vascular endothelial relaxation.
The treatment is carried out in several sessions to ensure complete success, specifically twice a week for 3 weeks. The duration of the session is approximately 20 to 30 minutes, taking into account that there are 3000 impacts per session. After one month from the last session, a check-up with the doctor is carried out.
The shock waves are placed first on the upper part of the penis and then under the scrotum to reach the root of the corpora cavernosa. In this way, the entire erectile tissue is covered.
The treatment is completely painless, brief and does not require anaesthesia or sedation. No admission or observation is required after the session.
Smoking, cholesterol, sedentary lifestyle, stress, diabetes... All these vascular risk factors lead to arteriosclerosis and therefore erectile dysfunction. Patients who suffer from this pathology due to these vascular risk factors will be those who can undergo shockwaves.
According to several studies, there is a high positive response rate to shockwave treatment, between 75%-80%. Moreover, the response remains positive in the medium term, with patients confirming an improvement in their erections over the next 6 months. Whether this is also the case in the long term is currently being studied.
Not at all. Patients confirm that they feel tingling during the sessions, but no pain. Moreover, to date, there is no record of any side effects. There have been rare cases of penile haematoma, but this is due to altered coagulation, without prior warning.

An annual visit to the urologist, as with any specialist, is vital for the early detection of any urogenital disease or abnormality. For this reason, an annual check-up with a urologist is of vital importance.
Prostate cancer is the leading disease that can affect men throughout their lives, followed by a number of other diseases. Statistics show that prostate cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer deaths in men. These figures are consistent throughout the world. It is important not to miss a visit to the urologist once a year in order to treat this disease in time if it should occur.
Thanks to technological advances, it is now possible to detect prostate cancer at an early stage. This is essential to achieve the possibility of a more successful cure for a patient. There is up to a 90% chance of effectively treating the cancer if it is diagnosed early with the treatments that currently exist. According to specialists, it is advisable to start seeing a urologist at the age when the cancer begins to appear.
An effective tool for early diagnosis of prostate cancer is the prostate antigen test. It is a simple test, namely a blood test that does not even require fasting. Depending on the result, it will alert the urologist to a possible abnormality and allow further tests to be carried out. If the tests give normal results, an annual check-up is all that is required.
As mentioned, if the data shows high levels of prostate-specific antigen, it could also be due to other disorders. Infections, prostate enlargement or benign prostatic hyperplasia are usually the most common.
Urology is the speciality that diagnoses pathologies of the entire urinary tract. Any condition of the bladder, urethra, ureters, kidneys, and prostate, testicles and penis in the case of men.
For this reason, the urologist is the specialist indicated to resolve different pathologies. Of particular note are:
It is important to stress that we should not wait until we are 40 years old to start worrying about urinary pathologies. The most common is testicular pathology, testicular cancer. This cancer has a low incidence rate in the population. However, it should be noted that the age group of patients is between 15 and 35 years old. According to specialists' recommendations, it is vital to see a urologist for any testicular pain or painless enlargement.

There can be two factors that directly affect the patient to suffer from this problem. With a higher percentage, 90% of men suffer from premature ejaculation due to the psychological factor. The remaining 10% are due to the physical factor. Among the most common causes are:
