It’s no secret that an active and happy sex life can boost your spirits, mood, and overall well-being, so when you’re struggling with a men’s health issue, you want solutions.
Two of the biggest hurdles to an active sex life for men are erectile dysfunction (ED), which affects between 30 million and 50 million American men, and Peyronie’s disease, which affects up to 20% of men.
At Neuropathy & Pain Centers of Texas, our team includes specialists in men’s health who have found great success in using extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) to address both ED and Peyronie’s disease. Let’s take a look at how this innovative technology can restore your sexual health.
A lot goes into achieving and maintaining an erection. Any hurdle along the way can disrupt the entire process and lead to ED. From nerve damage to mental health issues, many roads lead to ED, but the most common involves blood flow.
To get an erection, you need plenty of blood to flow into your penis, where it becomes trapped in your corpora cavernosum, creating an erection. Absent this influx of blood, you can struggle to get and sustain an erection long enough for intercourse.
To encourage more blood flow to your penis, we turn to ESWT. We deliver low-intensity sound wave energy into your penis, where your body registers the energy as trauma. Rest assured, from your end, the treatment is not traumatic at all — in fact, it’s largely painless.
In response to this energy, your body jumps into action and focuses on delivering resources to your penis to respond to the so-called trauma, which requires better blood flow. ESWT can create healthier blood vessels in your penis that improve blood flow and resolve your ED.
Another issue that can have no small impact on your sex life is Peyronie’s disease, a condition in which plaques form in your penis that can cause the organ to stiffen and curve. In some cases, this can render erections painful.
Using our advanced ESWT technology, we can make quick work of these plaques and blast them apart with the sound waves.
We’ve found ESWT to be a highly effective treatment for Peyronie’s disease. Studies confirm its efficacy — one study concludes that, “Extracorporeal shockwave therapy may be beneficial in the management of Peyronie’s disease for refractory penile pain and plaque size reduction.”
So, whether your sex life is taking a hit because of ED or Peyronie’s disease, we’ve got you covered with our extracorporeal shockwave technology.
To determine whether ESWT can play a role in restoring your sexual health, we invite you to call or message one of our offices in Waco, Arlington, Wichita Falls, or Fort Worth, Texas, today to schedule a consultation.
