It is not uncommon for men to experience erectile dysfunction (ED) at some point in their life. One in five US men is affected. There are many causes to this condition damage, making it a part of life and aging. Damaged vessels due to a Western-style diet and sedentary lifestyle is the most common one. Experiencing ED may result in decreased levels of self-confidence and further deterioration of sexual life. If your sexual performance has been hindered by erectile dysfunction or you want to maximize your current sexual performance or you have penile curvature known as Peyronie’s disease, low intensity shockwave therapy (LIST) may be the treatment for you. Learn more about this option at the Center for Sexual and Urinary Function in Glendale or Phoenix, AZ.
Low intensity shockwave treatment (LIST) is a cutting-edge noninvasive treatment specifically designed to restore erectile dysfunction. This non-invasive procedure uses the latest technology that improves the blood flow to the penis and regenerates penile tissue. Therefore unlike oral medication or other local treatments, it is durable. The LIST procedure can be performed in-office with minimal downtime and no need for recovery. You can return to your normal schedule and sexual activity shortly after the treatment. The procedure has been advertised under brand names such as CorewaveⓇ, GaineswaveⓇ, Big D WaveⓇ and others.
This treatment works by utilizing targeted high-frequency low energy radial sound waves resulting in energy release to penile tissue. The waves stimulate growth factors promoting the formation of new blood vessel and repair of existing ones. They also improve blood flow to the penis by promoting their widening through nitric oxide release. Regeneration and repair is further stimulated by activating penile stem cells. The improved blood flow contributes to increased penile sensitivity, along with stronger erections.
Each low intensity shockwave (LIST) treatment plan is completely customized to your goals for the procedure. During your consultation, Dr. Niemczyk will discuss the treatment with you and come up with a plan suited for your needs. Combination treatments with oral medication, PT141, platelet-rich plasma or stem cells may be recommended. Most people need 6-12 treatments to achieve the best possible results. The more treatments you have the higher the benefitsTypically you will experience improvement after 6th to 8th treatment but some patients notice an effect on the same day.
The studies have shown that 75% patient with mild erectile dysfunction without comorbid conditions such as diabetes or cardiovascular disease will maintain their benefits at 2 years. To decrease your risk factors our office will perform a comprehensive evaluation of your health with Metabolic Code will guide you through dietary and lifestyle changes and help you choose appropriate health supplements. To retain your sexual performance monthly maintenance treatments are offered at discounted prices.
Shockwave treatment improves retention of stem cells in penile tissue and potentiates growth factor release above the effect of shockwave treatment only. It also works synergistically with platelet-rich plasma.
American Urological Association lists shockwave therapy in the treatment guidelines for Peyronie’s disease as there is overwhelming evidence that it alleviates pain associated with the disease. There is also modest evidence that it decreases the size of the lesion and diminishes the curvature, and when compared to sham treatment it prevents progression of the disease.
Nearly any man who is seeking treatment for prolonged erectile dysfunction or to improve his sexual performance is a candidate. The best way to determine if low intensity shockwave treatment is for you is by scheduling a consultation with our expert.
