Urology Specialist Prof. Dr. Gökhan Gökçe said that the problem of sexual impotence can be solved with ESWT shock wave therapy.
Medicana Health Group Urology Specialist Prof. Dr. Gökhan Gökçe stated that erection problems have been among the biggest problems of men throughout history, and noted that with the developing technology, current treatments can now be used to ensure the formation of new vessels at different points of the penis and to correct the problem of impotence. He said that ESWT shock wave therapy is one of these methods and said, “This innovative approach has the potential to offer patients faster recovery and long-term permanent results.”
Prof. Dr. Gökhan Gökçe stated that ESWT penile shock wave therapy is a treatment method in which high-energy sound waves are applied by focusing on the penis and said, “This method helps to solve the erection problem by providing a continuous and permanent increase in the amount of blood going to the penis by low-intensity stimulation of the vessels.”
It is aimed to increase new vessel formation and blood circulation
Gökçe gave the following information about ESWT treatment: “Sound waves are applied to different points of the penis in order to support the formation of new vessels and to provide permanent improvement. It is aimed to increase blood circulation in the area of discomfort. The treatment process is usually painless and can be performed quickly. The patient does not feel pain as the application is performed at low intensity, but an effective dose is applied. It is a non-surgical treatment option and does not cause discomfort in patients. It is an outpatient treatment method, the treatment process does not require hospitalization. Since it is not a surgical method, anesthesia is not applied. Studies on many patients show that the success rate of the treatment is high. Generally, a rapid recovery process is achieved after treatment and patients can return to their normal activities more quickly. It can be applied to every patient. Better results are obtained in patients who respond to oral medications or injection therapy for erectile dysfunction.”
Application takes 15-20 minutes
Stating that ESWT shock wave therapy can be applied to all patients, Gökçe said, “The treatment takes an average of 15-20 minutes and consists of 6 - 12 sessions. In the treatment, many shock waves are applied to different points. The penis is covered with a special gel for the application of shock wave therapy. Different parts of the penis are targeted. As the treatment continues, patients may experience tingling in the treated area. Tingling sensation may also occur immediately after the application. It is a much more natural process that will restore the ability to become erect compared to other treatment methods.”
