About the Treatment

Low Intensity Shockwave Therapy for ED (Erectile Dysfunction)(LiSWT)

What is it and how might it help men with Erectile Dysfunction?

Shockwave therapy uses energy from acoustic waves to trigger a process called

neovascularization in certain parts of the body. When neovascularization occurs, new blood vessels form. This helps improve blood flow to the region.

This type of therapy has been used to help heart patients, people with kidney stones, and those with fractures and joint inflammation. Recently, scientists have investigated lower intensity shockwaves to help men with erectile dysfunction.

Why Shockwave Treatment in Dubai is a Beneficial Alternative

Blood flow is critical to a man’s erections. When a man is sexually stimulated, arteries widen so that his penis can fill with blood. The blood is what gives the penis the firmness needed for vaginal penetration. A man who has problems with blood flow to the penis may have weaker erections or may be unable to have erections at all.

There are several types of treatments available for men with ED, including pills, vacuum erection devices, and penile injections. However, these therapies are typically conducted on an as-needed basis and may work for only one sexual encounter at a time. Shockwave treatment is different, as it targets the erectile mechanism so that men are more likely to have erections on their own.

How Shockwave Treatment in Dubai Works

To administer this form of therapy, a clinician applies a probe to the penis, which is coated in a special gel. Different areas of the penis are usually targeted. Treatment sessions may last for fifteen to twenty minutes. Men usually don’t need anesthesia or experience pain, although they might have a tingling sensation in the treated area.

Clinical trials of shockwave therapy for ED have had encouraging results. The process has been well tolerated by patients. Many men have found that their erections have improved and they are able to have intercourse. Men with more severe ED may still need to take ED medication in addition to having the therapy.
