Shockwave therapy for ED?

Posted by animate @animate, 13 hours ago

Hi,

Would anyone have any experience with Penile Shockwave Therapy, or Low-Intensity Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (LI-ESWT) for treating ED after RALP?

I read that this is a recommended therapy but with mixed results as for post-RALP cases there are mentions of this not being appropriate when nerve damage has occurred. Still, some arguments support that it is appropriate.

I would be interested to know if anyone here has had any experience with this or knows about its effectiveness in post-RALP cases.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Prostate Cancer Support Group.

Interesting idea.
Kinda like shocking Frankenstein's monster to life.

Dunno if it works. "Treatment outcomes are exempt from being advertised."
OK.........

6 sessions at 200 bucks a session.

There’s a 2023 presentation out of Stanford University that’s titled “Penile Rehab: Optimizing Recovery of Erectile Function after Prostate Cancer Treatment.”

They first talk about how things are supposed to work “down there,” what goes wrong as a result of treatments, and then a variety of remedies.
