Stem Cell & Shockwave Therapy
Stem Cell & Shockwave Therapy
What is Shockwave Therapy?
Low-Intensity Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (LI-ESWT) is a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic waves to stimulate blood vessel formation and improve penile blood flow.
It targets the root vascular cause of erectile dysfunction rather than just treating symptoms.
What is Stem Cell Therapy?
Stem cell therapy aims to regenerate damaged tissue by introducing regenerative cells into the penile tissue. It is considered experimental and should be offered only after proper evaluation and counseling.
Who is a Good Candidate?
Shockwave therapy is most suitable for:
- Mild to moderate vascular erectile dysfunction
- Men responding partially to ED medications
- Early diabetic ED
- Younger patients with blood flow issues
It is not effective for:
- Severe nerve damage
- Advanced diabetes with tissue damage
- Hormonal causes of ED
- Psychological erectile dysfunction
How Shockwave Therapy is Performed
- Non-invasive procedure
- No injections or surgery
- Device applied externally to the penile shaft
- 15–20 minute sessions
- Usually performed in multiple sessions over several weeks
No anesthesia required.
Expected Benefits
- Improved spontaneous erections
- Better response to ED medications
- Improved penile blood circulation
- Gradual improvement over weeks
Safety
Shockwave therapy is generally safe when performed correctly. Temporary mild discomfort may occur.
Stem cell therapy should only be considered after detailed consultation and discussion regarding its experimental nature.
