The clinical term for shockwave therapy is low intensity shockwave therapy (LiSWT). It’s a noninvasive therapy that’s been used in orthopedics for years to help heal broken bones, injured ligaments, and injured tendons. LiSWT has also been used to improve wound healing. Using targeted high-energy sound waves, LiSWT can speed up tissue repair and cell growth.
Erections rely on healthy blood flow to the penile tissue. Shockwave therapy is viewed favorably as a way of repairing and strengthening blood vessels in the penis and improving blood flow. Increasing blood flow to the penis is the same goal as more traditional ED treatments, such as oral medications, including sildenafil (Viagra) and tadalafil (Cialis).
If you are worried or know anyone facing such problems, consult Dr.Veerendar or visit Dr.VRU Clinic in Hyderabad.
Procedure:
Consultation & Preparation: The urologist assesses the patient’s condition, and no anesthesia or special preparation is required.
Device Application: A handheld device is placed on different areas of the penis, delivering low-intensity shock waves to improve blood flow.
Treatment Process: The device is moved systematically, ensuring even shock wave distribution. The session lasts 15–20 minutes and is painless.
