Question:
Does using shockwave therapy help treat ED?
Answer:
Shockwave therapy for ED is still considered an experimental treatment option. Generally, we recommend using low-intensity shockwave therapy in mild organic erectile dysfunction patients or those who do not respond well to medication (Viagra, Cialis,…) or do not want more invasive treatments.
Research suggests that men with vasculogenic ED are among the ideal candidates for shockwave therapy and are the ones to see actual results; on the other hand, It did not help men with severe erectile dysfunction resulting from diabetes or those who had undergone prostatectomy, cystectomy, or radiation.
Research is still ongoing to determine how well Shockwave therapy for ED works long-term and whether it can be used with other proven ED treatments.
