ED Therapy
Erectile dysfunction (ED), also called impotence.
Most men suffering from Erectile Dysfunction have vascular problems affecting the vessels that supply blood to the cavernous bodies of the penis, resulting in a decreased ability to develop and maintain an erection.
The end result is an inadequate blood flow followed by premature draining of an already reduced amount of blood from the cavernous bodies, meaning erection is not achieved.
There are many different causes, but ED ultimately occurs when there is too little blood flow into the penis and too much blood flow out
Erectile Dysfunction Therapy is a highly effective treatment
Causes
Physical causes of erectile dysfunction
In many cases, erectile dysfunction is caused by something physical. Common causes include:
- Heart disease
- Clogged blood vessels (atherosclerosis)
- High cholesterol
- High blood pressure
- Obesity
- Tobacco use
- Sleep disorders
- Low testosterone
Psychological causes of erectile dysfunction
The brain plays a key role in triggering the series of physical events that cause an erection, starting with feelings of sexual excitement. A number of things can interfere with sexual feelings and cause or worsen erectile dysfunction. These include:
- Depression, anxiety or other mental health conditions
- Stress
Symptoms
Erectile dysfunction symptoms might include persistent:
- Trouble getting an erection

- Reduced sexual desire

Shockwave treatment of Erectile Dysfunction
Low-intensity extracorporeal shock wave therapy (LI-ESWT) is a novel modality that has recently been developed for treating Erectile Dysfunction (ED).
Unlike other current treatment options for ED, all of which are palliative in nature, LI-ESWT is unique in that it aims to restore the erectile mechanism in order to enable natural or spontaneous erections.
