What Is Erectile Dysfunction and How Do You Know You Have it?
Erectile dysfunction is a condition that causes an inability to get or maintain an erection. It can be an underlying symptom of another physical or mental health condition. The three primary symptoms are trouble getting an erection, trouble keeping an erection, and reduced libido or sexual desire.
How Erectile Dysfunction Affects Quality of Life
Erectile dysfunction can affect your sex life, your happiness, and your quality of life. You may feel like you have an unsatisfactory sex life, or you aren’t pleasing your partner. You may develop depression, anxiety, loss of confidence, embarrassment, and low self-esteem. You may develop relationship problems and experience fertility issues.
When Should You Seek Treatment for Erectile Dysfunction?
You should seek treatment for erectile dysfunction when it occurs regularly and affects your sex life and mental health. Erectile dysfunction can be the first warning sign of another underlying physical or mental health condition, including depression or heart disease.
What Is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment option that uses acoustic sound waves to stimulate biological healing processes in the body. It can accelerate the healing of damaged soft tissues and nerves and promote increased circulation and blood flow.
How Does Shockwave Therapy Treat Erectile Dysfunction?
Shockwave therapy can restore blood flow to your penis and heal and strengthen blood vessels in the penis. It also improves tissue remodeling in the penis. A 2019 medical study found that erectile dysfunction was improved with shockwave therapy. The treatment is painless, low-risk, and requires no medication, invasive procedures, or recovery time.
