Ultra Shockwave Therapy
Ultra Shockwave Therapy Treatment
Shockwave therapy is a noninvasive procedure that uses sound waves to stimulate new blood vessel growth in the penis, offering potential improvement for erectile dysfunction caused by various factors, including vascular or neurogenic issues. It may also help those who haven’t responded to other treatments. However, it is not currently FDA-approved for treating ED.
Mechanism of Action:
The shockwave device delivers focused energy waves to the penile tissue. These waves create microtrauma, triggering a healing response. New blood vessels form, improving blood circulation in the penis.
Benefits:
Increased blood flow helps achieve and maintain erections. It can be effective even for men who don't respond well to other treatments. This treatment is non-invasive and typically painless.
Treatment Process:
A series of sessions (usually 6 to 12) are administered over several weeks. Each session lasts about 15 to 20 minutes, and no anesthesia is required.
Results:
Improvement in erectile function may take a few weeks after completing the sessions. Some men experience significant improvement, while others see more modest results.
Cost:
The cost of shockwave therapy for erectile dysfunction (ED) can vary based on several factors including, the number of sessions, location of the practice, and the healthcare provider. Generally, a full course of shockwave therapy may range from $1,000 to $3,000.
Success Rates of Ultra Shockwave Therapy
The success rates of shockwave therapy for erectile dysfunction (ED) can vary, but studies suggest positive outcomes for men. Here are some key points:
Clinical Studies:
Research has shown improvements in erectile dysfunction after shockwave therapy. Success rates range from 40% to 80%, depending on the study and patient population.
Factors Affecting Success:
Severity of ED, typically mild to moderate cases tend to respond better. Individual variation shows that some experience significant improvement, while others see modest results. Compliance to the treatment plan and completing the recommended sessions is crucial.
Consult a Professional:
Discuss your options with an ED specialist. They can assess your specific situation and provide personalized guidance.
Side Effects of Ultra Shockwave Therapy
Mild Discomfort:
During the procedure, some men may experience mild discomfort or tingling sensations in the treated area. However, this discomfort is usually temporary and subsides quickly.
Bruising or Redness:
Some patients may notice minor bruising or redness at the treatment site. Again, this is typically mild and resolves on its own.
Rare Side Effects:
Rarely, more severe side effects like hematoma (collection of blood) or skin injury may occur. These are extremely uncommon and usually related to improper technique or inadequate training.
Consult your Healthcare Provider:
If you experience any unusual or persistent symptoms after shockwave therapy, consult with your healthcare provider promptly.
