Low intensity shock waves treatment for erectile dysfunction LiSWT treatment for erectile dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction, defined as the inability to have or maintain an erection that allows for a satisfactory sexual intercourse, is a frequent condition, especially after age 40. Of the many causes, vascular etiology is one of the main ones, sharing risk factors with cardiovascular diseases.

There are several therapeutic options, such as drugs given orally or local treatments, which, although treating the symptoms, do not treat the mechanism that causes the dysfunction. 

The Low intensity shock wave treatment consists of a procedure in which the waves are generated outside the human body and then transferred to the patient through the skin, being directed precisely to the tissue to be treated, leading to neovascularization, that is, formation of new blood vessels, improving vascularization of the penis and its hemodynamic parameters.

As a result, patients improve their erectile function, being able to improve the response to other treatments, or even restore it completely, being free of other medication.

This treatment is an innovative and cutting-edge therapy in the treatment of erectile dysfunction, noninvasive and painful, performed on an outpatient basis and without the need for anesthesia. Each seassion as the approximate duration of 20 minutes, being divided into several sessions. To date, no side effects have been reported or reported.

The treatment sessions will always be performed by an Urologist specialized in Andrology and functional Urology, which allows a greater sensitivity in the elaboration of clinical conclusions.
