Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a health problem that affects many men and there are many different methods for its treatment. One of the most prominent among these methods in recent years is Shock Wave Therapy, also known as ESWT.

ESWT is a treatment method that was originally introduced in the 2000s for the treatment of ischaemic heart disease. This treatment is based on the principle of creating minor damage by sending low-intensity shock waves to the existing tissue. In order to repair these minor damages, the body renews the vascular and tissue structure in the treated area. This causes ESWT to be defined as "regeneration" or "returning lost functions".

However, the failure of ESWT to achieve the expected widespread use in the treatment of cardiac diseases has led to the use of this technology in other medical fields. Since the 1970s, urology, where shock waves have been used to break kidney stones, has become one of the most widely used areas of ESWT. In this context, ESWT is used as an effective method not only in the treatment of erectile dysfunction, but also in the treatment of peyronie's, prostate infection, sexual pain and dysfunction.

Erectile dysfunction can have many causes. Aging is one of the main causes and this leads to the loss or dysfunction of the vessels, nerves, tissue and collagen and elastin that support the penile tissue. The reason ESWT is effective in erectile dysfunction is that it helps to repair these structures. In particular, ED1000 treatment provides regeneration of tissues and vessels, reversing the effects of vascular insufficiency, nerve conduction defects and skin aging.

Scientific studies on the success of this treatment method indicate a treatment success of for mild to moderate erectile dysfunction and over for more serious cases.

In conclusion, the effect and success of ESWT in the treatment of erectile dysfunction has made this method an increasingly preferred treatment method in modern medicine. Its minimally invasive nature, no need for anaesthesia and high success rates make ESWT a prominent alternative in the treatment of erectile dysfunction.

Treatment Process
After the diagnosis of Erectile Dysfunction, the treatment plan is determined depending on the patient's condition. This treatment, which usually varies between 6 and 12 sessions, can be up to 24 sessions in some special cases. The frequency of treatment may vary between 2 and 3 days a week.

Place and Duration of Application
Since it does not require anaesthesia or surgical intervention, ESWT can be applied comfortably in the office environment. Each session lasts an average of 20 minutes and patients can return to their normal lives immediately after treatment.

Application Method
During the treatment, the application head (probe) of the device is applied to 6 different areas of the penis at a specified time and shot interval. These areas cover the areas where the "Corpus Cavernosum" structure of the penis is filled with blood.

Side Effects and Safety
ESWT has no known side effects. Patients do not experience pain, burning or bruising during or after treatment.

Suitable for whom?
Erectile dysfunction may have more than one cause. ESWT is effective in impotence based on physiological reasons. However, ESWT will not have an effect in erectile dysfunction caused only by psychological reasons.
