What Is Erectile Dysfunction?
While drug therapy is the typical approach to treating acute issues related to Erectile Dysfunction (ED), it only provides a quick-fix solution and does not address the underlying physical or psychological conditions. Attempting to understand why you have ED in the first place is an important step. We suggest that people see their health care provider first to make sure that certain things like prostate cancer, hormone imbalances, uncontrolled diabetes, hypertension or clinical depression are not the cause. The only cause that we can not actively work with is any form of cancer. To learn more about these causes please visit the John Hopkins website.
Shockwave works on ED because:
-
It is scientifically proven to increase blood flow and restore smooth muscle cells that help to maintain tissue elasticity, effectively treating the underlying cause of certain forms of erectile dysfunction
Peyronie's Disease
Peyronie's Disease (PD) is a condition that is characterized by penile pain, curvature, shortening and over-all erectile dysfunction. The condition itself is common in 1 out of 11 of men according to studies. PD is a condition that affects the penis, causing the development of fibrous scar tissue, or plaques, within the "erectile" tissue. This can lead to penile deformity, pain, and difficulty with sexual intercourse. The impact of Peyronie's Disease can be both physical and psychological. Our shockwave technology allows us to deliver a non-invasive, targeted therapy that can break up fibrous scar tissue and plaque, as well as help to regenerate blood vessel growth to the area allowing for long-term healing. To learn more, visit the John Hopkins website.
Chronic Prostatitis
Chronic prostatitis is a complex condition that is characterized by long-lasting (longer then one year) inflammation of the prostate gland. This often leads to symptoms such as pain or discomfort in the pelvic area, urinary problems, and sexual dysfunction. The exact cause of chronic prostatitis is often unclear, making it difficult to treat it effectively. John Hopkins has some further information you can explore.
Shockwave therapy works by delivering high-energy sound waves to targeted areas of the body. The mechanical pressure and energy from the shockwaves are thought to stimulate tissue healing and improve blood circulation in the affected area. It also has anti-inflammatory effects after the initial acute inflammatory process that helps to aid in this healing.
For The Women:
-
Female Sexual Dysfunction
-
Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder
-
Postmenopausal Sexual Dysfunction
-
Chronic UTI's and Urethritis
What Are Female Sexual Dysfunction Disorders?
Since women don't have external "erections" people think they do not struggle with sexual dysfunction but in reality they can. Female sexual dysfunction can look like: vaginal dryness, pain with penetration called vaginismus, as well as chronic inflammation of your urethral tract, or Urethritis. This can cause significant mental and physical distress and can negatively impact quality of life for women. Much like men's sexual health, it is important to explore causes with your health care provider and/-or OBGYN. Cancer of any sort will need to be ruled out prior to us performing treatments.
How can shockwave therapy help? Focused shockwave therapy, or extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT), is a non-invasive procedure that uses acoustic waves to enhance tissue healing and blood flow. Initially designed for musculoskeletal issues and erectile dysfunction, it is now being explored for female dysfunction. This therapy stimulates new blood vessel growth in the area-improving circulation, tissue regeneration and lubrication, which can relieve pain and tension associated with conditions like vaginismus. While the exact effects on vaginismus are not fully understood, it may help to relax pelvic floor muscles and to improve overall pelvic health. Research on its effectiveness for female sexual dysfunction is still limited, but early findings suggest that it could be a promising treatment option.
Questions?
We understand that these can be sensitive topics for many, but we want those who are going through these types of changes (statistically, at least 50% of people will experience a sexual health decline in their lifetime) to feel supported holistically. The "quick fix" of pharmacological options does not address the underlying causes, both physiologically and psychologically. -If you are ready to start your health healing journey, please book a free consult by clicking the button below.
