What is erectile dysfunction?

Erectile dysfunction (ED) means that the erection of the male penis is completely absent, can only be maintained for a short time, or is not strong enough to have sexual intercourse.

If any of the situations described above last longer than 4-6 months, it is called erectile dysfunction.

For a long time it was believed that most erectile dysfunction has purely psychological causes. Today it is known that more than 2/3 of the diseases are caused by physical factors such as age, diabetes mellitus, arteriosclerosis and vascular anomalies. For example, one in three men in the 60-70 age group is affected. Experts assume that a much larger number of people are affected, as this issue is still treated with much shame.

"I have been treating 2 to 6 patients a day for the last 10 months with a 90% success response."

A successful form of application for erectile dysfunction
Because the male penis is not a muscle, proper blood supply to the erectile tissue is extremely important and contributes significantly to male erection.

With shockwave treatment, it is possible to significantly promote increased blood circulation while stimulating the formation of new vascular structures. The radial shock waves, transmitted to both the penile shaft and the genital area, support the natural stimulation of the area to be treated, especially in the case of vascular erectile dysfunction. Even patients with severe erectile dysfunction, taking so-called PDE-5 inhibitors, achieve significantly better therapeutic results.

Depending on the degree of erectile dysfunction, an average of 5 to 8 treatments are needed to achieve lasting improvement in erection. Shockwave therapy lasts up to 25 minutes and should be performed 2-3 times a week.
