ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION TREATMENT PROTOCOL
For erectile problems we give the patient shockwave therapy. There are patients living in Istanbul who can come whenever they wish, and patients coming from other cities or from abroad. For patients living in Istanbul I do not want to rush this; we recommend 2 sessions a week, 6 or 8 sessions in total.
It provides lasting improvement
Shockwave therapy provides natural healing
Shockwaves, used for many years in the treatment of kidney stones, are sound waves that carry energy focused on a specific point in the body. They create mechanical stress in the target tissue, causing micro-trauma. This stress and micro-trauma activate the body's natural healing mechanisms. New blood vessels form in response to the factors released by the tissue that trigger vessel formation, and blood supply to the tissue increases.
The procedure takes 15–20 minutes
The procedure is performed in office conditions, without hospitalisation, by a doctor and technician. No anaesthesia or sedation is needed during the procedure. No side effects have been reported. Unwanted effects such as pain, injury or bruising of the penis do not occur during or after the procedure, and patients can continue their daily lives afterwards. The procedure is performed with shockwaves directed to different areas of the penis with the help of a special device. Sessions, each lasting about 15–20 minutes, are applied 2 days a week for 3 weeks in patients with mild to moderate erectile dysfunction, and 2 days a week for 6 weeks in patients with advanced erectile dysfunction.
