Shockwaves are acoustic pulses transmitted through the skin to the tissues of the penis. Recently, it has been proposed as an innovative option for the treatment of erectile dysfunction.
Low-Intensity Shockwave Therapy (LiSWT)
How do shockwaves work for erectile dysfunction?
The application of shockwaves generates an intra- and extracellular response in the cavernous body of the penis, leading to increased blood flow. Several treatment sessions are carried out based on the patient’s characteristics, applying energy to both cavernous bodies (penis and crura).
In the first study conducted, its effectiveness in treating vasculogenic erectile dysfunction was demonstrated. Recently, results have been presented reporting improvements in blood circulation, vascular function, and thus erectile function, in patients who did not respond to PDE5 inhibitor medications.
