PENILE ESWT
PENILE ESWT
ESWT (Shock Wave Therapy) and Erectile
Dysfunction:
Erectile
dysfunction, commonly known as impotence, is a health problem often encountered
in men over the age of 40. It is defined as the inability of a man to achieve
or maintain a sufficient erection during sexual intercourse. ESWT
(Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy) shock wave therapy is an innovative method
used in the treatment of erectile dysfunction.
How ESWT Shock Wave Therapy Works:
Dilation of Blood Vessels:
ESWT creates microtraumas in the blood vessels of the penis using wide-focus
shock waves. These traumas lead to the dilation of blood vessels and increased
blood flow.
Stimulation
of Collagen Production:
Shock waves
can increase collagen production in the treated tissues, promoting tissue
regeneration.
Improved
Blood Flow:
Shock wave therapy induces the expansion of blood vessels in the penis,
facilitating increased blood flow and potentially improving erectile
dysfunction.
Advantages of ESWT:
● Non-Invasive:
ESWT is a
treatment method that does not require surgical intervention.
● No Anesthesia Required:
Patients typically do not need anesthesia during the treatment.
● Patient Comfort:
The treatment is generally associated with mild discomfort, and patients can
return to their daily activities immediately.
Treatment of Erectile Dysfunction Across
Age Groups:
Young Age Group:
Erectile
dysfunction in young men is often related to psychological or stress factors.
In such cases, methods such as psychological support, lifestyle changes, or
medication may be used.
Middle and Older Age Groups:
Vascular
(blood vessel) factors are often more influential in these age groups.
Treatment methods like ESWT, by increasing blood flow, may help overcome
erectile dysfunction.
Before starting any treatment, an individual experiencing erectile
dysfunction should consult with a specialist health professional. The
specialist will assess the individual's condition and recommend appropriate
treatment options to provide the most effective solution.
