ESWT Treatment for Erectile Dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction can have many causes, and psychological, hormonal and vascular factors play an important role. However, one of the underlying causes of erectile dysfunction in some men is penile curvature (Peyronie's disease). In this case, the penis can be curved due to fibrotic plaques formed in the penile tissue, and this can make sexual intercourse difficult or impossible. Specialist Dr. Osman Çelik achieves successful results with ESWT (Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy), a modern and effective treatment for erectile dysfunction and penile curvature problems, at the "Samsun Urology Clinic"..

What is ESWT and How is it Applied?

ESWT, or Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy, is a non-invasive treatment method that provides healing in tissues with externally applied shock waves. Although this treatment was initially used for orthopedic and cardiovascular problems, it is now widely used in the treatment of urological problems, especially erectile dysfunction and penile curvature. ESWT increases blood flow, encourages new vessel formation and softens fibrotic plaques with low-intensity shock waves focused on the penile tissue. This process helps improve erectile dysfunction and correct penile curvature.

Who is ESWT Treatment Suitable For?

ESWT treatment is a suitable treatment option for men who experience erectile dysfunction and penile curvature (Peyronie's disease). ESWT offers an effective solution, especially for men looking for a non-invasive treatment that does not require surgical intervention. This treatment is preferred in men who are in good general health and have not benefited from other treatment methods. ESWT treatment is also a suitable treatment method for men who experience pain or difficulty during sexual intercourse due to penile curvature.

Advantages of ESWT Treatment

ESWT treatment is a modern treatment method that stands out with its many advantages:

It is non-invasive: ESWT is a treatment method that does not require surgical intervention, which means that the recovery time is quick and the risk of complications is low.

Painless: Pain or discomfort during treatment is minimal and most patients can return to their daily activities immediately.

Fast Results: ESWT treatment usually starts working within a few weeks, allowing patients to experience rapid improvement.

High Success Rate: ESWT offers high success rates in treating erectile dysfunction and penile curvature, allowing many men to regain their sexual function.

How is ESWT Treatment Applied?

ESWT treatment is usually applied in several sessions, usually once or twice a week. Each session lasts approximately 20-30 minutes. During the treatment, low-intensity shock waves are directed to the penile tissue, which triggers healing processes in the tissues, helping to correct erectile function and penile curvature. The duration of treatment may vary depending on the patient's condition and response to treatment, but a treatment plan of 6-8 sessions is usually sufficient.

Are There Any Side Effects of ESWT Treatment?

ESWT is generally safe and well-tolerated. Side effects are rare and usually mild and transient. There may be some mild discomfort, redness or swelling following the treatment, but these symptoms will soon subside. ESWT has no serious side effects, making it a safe option for treating erectile dysfunction and penile curvature.
