Erectile Dysfunction, an inability to achieve or maintain an erection enough for a satisfactory sexual encounter affects up to half of the men in the USA at some point in their lives. At age 40, ED can affect 40% of men and at age 70, ED can affect 70% of men. Men who have Cardiovascular Disease, Diabetes Mellitus type 2 or who take medications have a higher incidence of erectile dysfunction than the average population. In fact it is considered by many doctors who deal with cardiovascular diseases that ED is one of the first signs of heart disease. There are many other causes of ED like, hormonal imbalances, psychogenic causes especially in younger men, neurologic causes, drug or alcohol use, cigarette smoking, and trauma.

What are the most current treatments for ED?

The most current and advanced treatments for ED are Low Intensity ExtraCorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (Li-ECSWT), PRP (P-Shot), and Stem Cells.



What is Low Intensity ExtraCorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (Li-ECSWT)?

Li-ECWST is mechanically generated sound waves that exert their biological effect on tissues to treat various medical conditions like ED. The sound waves that are generated bring about cellular changes that lead to release of growth factors and recruitment of the bodies dormant stem cells to generate new blood vessels that help increase blood flow to the penis which is the main way a man gets an erection.

By actually creating new blood vessels Li-ECSWT address the core problem of most causes of erectile dysfunction which is not getting enough blood into the penis for an erection, usually caused by damage to the blood vessels or blockage of blood vessels in the penis due to chronic diseases such as Heart Disease, Diabetes Mellitus Type 2.



How Effective is Li-ECSWT?

Studies done in Europe and Asia show 70% improvement in patients with Erectile Dysfunction that have had a series of 6 to12 sessions of Li-ECSWT and our own experience shows us that adding the Priapus Shot otherwise called the P -Shot increases the chances of success even more.
