The most common cause of erectile dysfunction is reduced blood flow to the penis and atherosclerosis. Pills taken before intercourse temporarily dilate the vessels but do not cure the underlying disease. ESWT therapy for erectile dysfunction directly regenerates the vascular structure, providing a permanent and natural erection. In the field of andrology, this treatment is widely preferred due to its regenerative effects on penile tissue.
New Blood Vessel Formation in Penile Tissue (Angiogenesis)
Erection quality is directly related to the amount of blood filling the spongy tissues of the penis (corpus cavernosum). Aging, smoking, diabetes, and high blood pressure narrow the penile vessels. When ESWT shock waves are applied to the penile tissue, they:
- Stimulate blocked or narrowed capillaries within the penis.
- Trigger the formation of new, fresh vascular networks in the area.
- Thereby maximize the amount of blood filling the penis during sexual stimulation, permanently extending the duration of the erection.
An End to Medication Dependency
Patients undergoing ESWT therapy are freed from the obligation of taking pills before intercourse. The naturalness and spontaneity of sexual relations are restored. Clinical studies prove that complete recovery is achieved with ESWT in 70-80% of patients with mild to moderate erectile dysfunction.
