Penile Shockwave Therapy for ED

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is very common, affecting nearly 50% of men over the age of 40.

Left untreated, ED can have significant impact on a man’s relationship, self-esteem and overall well being.

Shockwave therapy, a non-invasive and drug-free treatment option for erectile dysfunction, is now available in Vancouver at Pollock Clinics.

Erectile Dysfunction Shock Wave Therapy (EDSWT) is an innovative approach to vasculogenic ED, delivered by Medispec’s ED1000, a device that uses advanced acoustics technology.

EDSWT utilizes low-intensity extracorporeal shock waves, focusing on blood vessels and encouraging neovascularization in the penis shaft and base. The low-intensity shock waves help relieve vascular deficiency, a common cause of erectile dysfunction.

How ED Shockwave Therapy Works

Erectile Dysfunction Shockwave Therapy (EDSWT) is generally a painless treatment that can potentially help men regain sexual desire and satisfaction.

EDSWT could be a viable option for you if:

You are willing to be less dependent on taking medications to have sex
You have experienced undesirable side effects of drugs or other treatments
You have not achieved satisfactory results with other ED treatments
You have health conditions that limit your options for treatment
You wish to have harder, longer lasting erections

The energy pulses in EDSWT are similar to sound waves. There’s usually no discomfort during or after the procedure.

Benefits of EDSWT

Plasma Creation Process

The platelet rich plasma injection is created from the patient’s own blood.

The blood goes through a proprietary process to separate the platelets into a concentrated plasma – Platelet Rich Plasma.

These platelets are used for the PRP injection.

The penile injection delivers several different growth factors which stimulate the cells, collagen and blood vessels to rejuvenate tissue.

PRP injections could be an excellent choice for men with health conditions that are risk factors for pharmaceuticals.

What to Expect During Your Visit

When you arrive, our staff will take to an examination room to draw your blood.

Patients will wait in the room while we process the plasma.

The entire process will take about an hour.

Patients will remove their clothing below the waist and lie on the table in preparation for the injections.

The doctor will use a local anaesthetic and once the area is frozen, the doctor injects the PRP along the shaft and the glans of the penis.

The injections take about 5 minutes and the procedure is complete.

Potential Benefits of Penile PRP Injections

The biggest benefit of a PRP injection is that they are simple injections using the patient’s on blood plasma.
