Shockwave Physiotherapy
Shockwave therapy is a breakthrough in erectile dysfunction because it acts on the root cause of the problem, which is the blood vessels in the penis. During erection, the penis becomes rigid because it fills with blood. Whether it is due to the ageing of the organism or diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, etc., the arteries of the penis become narrowed or clogged, they do not allow blood to reach the penis and therefore do not allow rigidity to be achieved, producing erectile dysfunction or impotence.
Patients taking treatment to improve their erection can continue to take it for as long as they need it. In some cases, the dosage can be lowered and in others it may even be possible to dispense with the cost of tablets. In more severe cases, where there was no response to medication, shockwave therapy can be used to make the patient respond to a treatment to which he or she did not respond. Do not hesitate to come to our centre at the first sign of symptoms, as this is the ideal time to attack the problem: in incipient situations, this is when the best results will be obtained.
Treatment details
It is a treatment indicated for patients with erectile dysfunction or difficulty maintaining erections. Using the Duolith device, shock waves are transmitted to the penis in sessions lasting just 30 minutes to improve erections, in a treatment that does not require anaesthesia or hospitalisation.
The patient will be able to return to normal life after the session, with an immediate recovery, without leaving any scars, and will see an improvement in their sexual potency from the first sessions, in some cases only needing oral medication to accompany them at the beginning.
Frequently Asked Questions about Shockwave Physiotherapy for erectile dysfunction
What is Shockwaves about and what does it cause?
These are low-intensity electro-acoustic waves, propelled by compressed air. These impacts, sustained over time, provoke a response in the body that consists of generating a greater number of blood vessels in the erectile tissue and the enhancement of the relaxation of the vascular endothelium, circulatory deficit and fibrosis or loss of elasticity of the penis.
What is the relevance of Shockwave therapy for erectile dysfunction?
It is a breakthrough in erectile dysfunction because it acts on the root of the problem, which is the blood vessels in the penis.
How is Shock Wave Physiotherapy carried out?
At GUA we have the Duolith Shock Wave Generator, designed to apply these waves to the corpora cavernosa of the penis. It consists of a generator and an applicator for the impulses, which are distributed over the entire length of the corpora cavernosa. In ten points of the penis, five in each corpora cavernosa, we apply the shock waves, three hundred in each selected area.
What are the benefits of Shock Wave treatment?
The benefit of shockwaves is obtained in more than 70% of patients who receive them. These beneficial effects begin to be noticed from the second or third session onwards, and will translate into the patient beginning to notice an improvement in their erections. This improvement will be more noticeable the less serious the patient's condition is.
Its beneficial effects on erectile dysfunction are based on its angiogenic capacity, i.e. it promotes the formation of vessels. In addition, it also improves the quality of the inner lining of these vessels, the endothelium, all of which helps to achieve erectile function.
They are also used effectively in:
- Pain on erection caused by fibrosis of the penis;
- Peyronie's disease and
- Perineal prostatic pain in prostatodine.
What are the characteristics of your application?
Shockwaves are performed in the consulting room and do not require prior preparation. The sessions last about 30 minutes and do not require admission or anaesthesia.
