The hardest part of treating erectile dysfunction (ED) for many men is talking to the doctor about it.
Erectile dysfunction is common, but it's also usually a quick and simple process to identify and treat the problem for the compassionate team at LaSara Medical Group. The team at LaSara Medical Group offers shockwave therapy treatments for erectile dysfunction and is honored to aid you in your journey of improving your sexual health and feeling more like yourself.
What is Erectile Dysfunction Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy is one of the most cutting-edge techniques currently being used in the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED). Shockwave therapy uses single pulses of energy that travel faster than the speed of sound to stimulate blood flow to the affected area. These pulses of energy create new blood vessels through a process called neovascularization. Blood flow is vital for achieving and maintaining an erection. When healthy, the blood vessels that feed blood flow to your penis dilate and expand 2.5x their normal width and fill up with blood to create an erection. When you have erectile dysfunction, the blood vessels have hardened and lost their ability to expand. They function similar to a pinched pipe where there is some flow, but not enough pressure to create an erection. Since 2009, using low-intensity focused shockwaves has been shown to be effective in treating erectile dysfunction and stimulating blood flow to the penis.
