What is Shockwave therapy
Shockwave therapy for erectile dysfunction (ED) is a non-invasive treatment aimed at improving erectile function and restoring sexual performance. This therapy involves the use of low-intensity shockwaves, which are delivered directly to the penis using a specialized device. The shockwaves are thought to encourage new blood vessel growth and improve blood flow; research on how well this works is ongoing. The treatment typically consists of a series of sessions conducted over several weeks, with each session lasting around 15 to 20 minutes.
