Shockwave therapy is a clinically proven, drug-free, pain-free, non-invasive treatment that involves passing low intensity energy sound waves into tissues to increase blood flow and stimulate repair.
Shockwave therapy is commonly used in the treatment of musculoskeletal problems but is also effective in treating a range of male sexual health conditions, including erectile dysfunction (ED).
It is the only non-invasive treatment that addresses the root causes of erectile dysfunction in men by stimulating an increase in blood flow and the formation of new blood vessels in the tissue, as well as breaking down micro-plaques in the penis.
Shockwave therapy is an excellent treatment option for men whose erectile dysfunction is not responding to other treatments such as tablet medications, or for those seeking a non-invasive therapy.
Getting and maintaining an erection requires sufficient blood supply to your penis. Shockwave therapy works to treat ED by stimulating the growth of new blood vessels which aids better blood flow to the penis for stronger, longer-lasting erections.
At OneWelbeck, shockwave therapy for erectile dysfunction is performed as an outpatient procedure, so you can have your treatment and go back to your day straight after.
During the treatment, you’ll be lying on a medical bed with your clothes removed from the waist down. Your specialist will place an ultrasound probe on your penis and move it gently and slowly over your skin as painless, short and intense focused waves are emitted into the tissue.
The procedure is non-invasive and completely pain-free. Most treatment plans require six 15-20-minute sessions over 6 weeks, but you may need additional sessions depending on your age and the severity of your condition.
Shockwave therapy has a good success rate for mild to moderate erectile dysfunction and is incredibly safe. When performed under the supervision of OneWelbeck consultant UroAndrologists the treatment is largely free from risks and side effects.
