Erectile Dysfunction Acoustic Wave Therapy

At Contemporary Health Center, we believe in treating the underlying issue with regenerative medicine. Erectile issues aren’t just a sexual problem. A fulfilling sex life can lead to greater satisfaction in social, family and work relationships. The sooner erectile issues are treated, the better the outcome. Disuse progresses the loss of function and deterioration of healthy tissue, disuse atrophy. Proactive treatment makes it easier to correct it and prevent future deterioration.

Most men suffering from declining erectile function have vascular issues affecting the vessels that supply blood to the cavernous bodies of the penis, resulting in a decreased ability to develop and maintain an erection. Vascular problems result in an inadequate blood-flow leading to premature draining of the reduced blood flow from the cavernous bodies – an erection is not achieved or is not maintained.

ED Acoustic Wave Therapy is a highly effective treatment that is restoring more optimal erectile function to many men. Acoustic Wave therapy is being used in the treatment of many other fields including vascular medicine and urology. Cardiologists have proven that Acoustic Wave technology works in stimulating the growth of new blood vessels. The same Acoustic Wave therapy is now being used for a similar effect on the blood vessels in the cavernous bodies of the penis. The Acoustic Waves focused on the area create new blood vessels in penile tissue, enabling men to achieve and maintain firm spontaneous erections.

There is an increasing body of clinical research supporting the effectiveness of acoustic wave therapy for the treatment of vascular related ED.

LI-ESWT is a revolutionary treatment of ED, and probably possesses unprecedented qualities that can rehabilitate erectile tissue. The clinical improvement in subjective erectile function together with the significant improvement in penile hemodynamics following LI-ESWT confirm that LI-ESWT has unique properties that may create a new standard of care for men with ED.

Significant increases in the duration of erection and penile rigidity, and significant improvement in penile endothelial function were demonstrated. Ten men did not require any PDE5-I therapy after 6-mo follow-up. No pain was reported from the treatment and no adverse events were noted during follow-up.

LI-ESWT demonstrated a positive long term clinical effect with improvement in erectile function of Indian men with vasculogenic ED who were prior responders to PDE5i therapy. The efficacy and tolerability of this treatment, coupled with its long term benefits and rehabilitative characteristics, make it an attractive new therapeutic option for men with vasculogenic erectile dysfunction.

Scandinavian Journal of Urology- This placebo-controlled study over 5 weeks shows that 57% of the men who suffered from erectile dysfunction had an effect from LI-ESWT. After 24 weeks, seven (19%, active group) and nine (23%, active placebo group) men were still able to have intercourse without medication. This study shows a possible cure in some patients, but more research, longer follow-up in the placebo group and an international multicentre randomized study are needed.

In a review 14 studies of men who received low-intensity extracorporeal acoustic wave treatment (LI-ESWT) for erectile dysfunction (ED), there was evidence that these men experienced improvements in their ED following LI- ESWT.

After 12 wk, mean VAS score, mean IIEF-5 score, and mean Quality of Life score ameliorated significantly in patients receiving ESWT. In patients with Peyronie’s Disease, ESWT leads to pain resolution and ameliorates both Erection Function and Quality of Life.

Low-intensity shock wave therapy to the penis can help men with severe erectile dysfunction (ED) that is unresponsive to conventional phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE-5) inhibitor treatment, according to data released here at the European Association of Urology 26th Annual Congress. The new findings confirm that the treatment exerts a genuine physiological effect on the erectile mechanism when applied directly to the cavernosal tissue, he added.
