What are shock waves?

The shock waves used to treat erectile dysfunction are low-energy, unlike those used to fragment kidney stones, which are high-intensity. The primary mechanism by which shock waves work is the formation of new blood vessels in the erectile tissue and the enhancement of vascular endothelial relaxation. The European Association of Urology considers shock wave therapy the most beneficial and promising treatment due to its lack of adverse effects. Furthermore, numerous studies endorsed by various international scientific societies of Urology and Andrology have demonstrated that low-intensity shock waves significantly improve erectile function, penile erection firmness, and patient satisfaction.
