Hi, all.

Erection issues is not uncommon in males. An Australian study shows that 1 in 4 to 1 in 5 men over the age of 40 experience ED. The most common treatment option for ED is viagra/ cialis/ levitra. However, some patients do not like to take medications or they suffer from side effects of the medications.

Another option in such a case would be low intensity shockwave therapy. Essentially, it is a painless treatment option with no known side effects. This treatment uses pulses to stimulate the body to produce new functional blood vessels which in turn improves blood flow to the area. There is no downtime and takes about 20 mins of your time and you can return to work or normal activities immediately after the treatment session. Generally, for the treatment of ED it is recommended to do 6-12 sessions (once per week).

Studies have shown that this treatment improves erectile function for 60-70% of the patients.

Thus if you like to try treatment of ED without medications, this is an option you may wish to consider.
