Low-intensity shock waves are an effective technique to treat men with Erectile dysfunction of vascular cause. The treatment consists in applying shock waves in the body of the penis during several sessions to improve the vascular quality, which is one of the main causes of erectile dysfunction in men.
The action of these waves enhances the relaxing mechanisms of vascular endothelium, stimulates the storage of blood in the corpora cavernosa and favours the formation of new blood vessels.
In patients who needed to take oral medications to achieve a good erection or in those who did not respond to this method, the treatment with shock waves has achieved big improvements in their sex life.
