ESWT (Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy) is a non-invasive treatment method used for erectile dysfunction that targets the penile vascular structure.

In this procedure, high-energy sound waves are delivered to different areas of the penis through a specialized device. The goal is to initiate a healing process in the vessel walls and stimulate the formation of new blood vessels.

Through this biological effect:

• Blood flow to the penis increases
• Vascular elasticity improves
• Erection quality is enhanced naturally

ESWT is considered a regenerative treatment approach that targets the underlying vascular problem rather than simply suppressing symptoms.

How is ESWT Applied?

• A local anesthetic cream is applied before the procedure
• After approximately 20–30 minutes, the area becomes numb
• Shock waves are delivered to different points of the penis using a special probe
• The procedure takes approximately 15–20 minutes

No pain is typically felt during or after the treatment. Patients can return to their daily activities immediately after the procedure.

Who is it Suitable For?

• Patients with diabetes, hypertension, or high cholesterol
• Individuals with vascular damage related to smoking
• Patients with reduced vascular elasticity due to aging
• Individuals with mild to moderate vascular insufficiency detected in penile Doppler examination
• Patients who do not achieve sufficient response from medication therapy

Treatment Protocol

• Usually performed in 6 sessions
• Conducted 2–3 times per week
• Each session lasts about 15–20 minutes

Timeline of Effects

• Initial changes: 3–4 weeks
• Noticeable improvement: 2–3 months
• Maximum effect: 3–6 months

Advantages

• Non-surgical
• Painless
• Does not require anesthesia
• Supports the body’s natural healing processes.
