Erectile dysfunction treatment with shockwave therapy / Bratislava / Piešťany

What exactly is shockwave therapy for erectile dysfunction?

Our clinic provides comprehensive treatment for erectile function (rectile dysfunction, penile erection disorders) including its most severe forms.

In comprehensive impotence treatment, we primarily use linear shockwaves and orally administered medications. As part of the therapy at our clinic, there is an initial consultation during which we diagnose the cause of erectile dysfunction and determine the degree of severity.

Diagnostics of the causes of erection disorders also include testing testosterone levels, PSA / prostate-specific antigen / and examination of the penile vessels. After a comprehensive examination, we will determine the optimal individualized treatment method for you.

Individualized treatment of erectile dysfunction takes into account the cause of the erection disorder and the different needs and sexual habits of each man. The success rate of comprehensive non-invasive / non-surgical / treatment of erectile dysfunction at our clinic is 98%.

Treatment of severe forms of erectile dysfunction

Diabetics tend to have the most severe erection disorders. This is related to damage not only to the blood vessels but also to the nervous system in diabetes.

Severe erection disorders are also seen in patients after abdominal surgeries, prostate surgeries, neurological diseases, or injuries to the spine and pelvis. We can manage even the most severe erection disorders.

For patients with severe forms of erectile dysfunction, we offer an intensive treatment protocol. In more severe cases, we also use medication administered by injection into the penis.

In patients with the most severe degrees of erectile dysfunction that do not respond to other treatments, we implant penile prostheses (reinforcements).

Principles of shockwave therapy for erectile dysfunction

The latest method of treating erection disorders is shockwave therapy using a special linear probe (LSTC) Piezowave 2, a top German manufacturer Richard WOLF – ELvation.

A shockwave is an extremely strong impulse that propagates in the form of an oscillating wave. Acoustic shocks penetrate the body without any skin damage and we use several thousand of them for therapy.

Linear shockwave therapy for erectile dysfunction is painless. The application of the linear shockwave induces the formation of new blood vessels, improves the biophysical properties of existing vessels, and significantly improves blood supply to the penis. Thanks to this, you will once again achieve a quality erection.

Latest findings on the treatment of penile erection disorders

We treat erection using a new German generation of devices with a linear probe, thanks to which the therapy acts along the entire length of the penis.

We are the only clinic in Slovakia that uses the new Boston protocol, which was published and recommended at the American Urological Association congress in 2017 in Boston. This is the main advantage compared to older methods, whose success rate is only half.

Thanks to the new technology and the most advanced protocol, our treatment is successful in up to 98% of cases. Various devices are available on the market, often of Asian origin, which often promise miraculous success, but their effectiveness is questionable.

What are the benefits of shockwave therapy for erectile dysfunction?

Shockwave therapy (LSTC) is considered a non-invasive method of tissue regeneration that stimulates angiogenesis and improves penile blood flow, contributing to better erections and sexual performance. Clinical studies confirmed by meta-analyses suggest long-term improvement in erectile function, including a significant increase in IIEF‑EF scores in patients with vascular ED.

What are the risks of shockwave therapy for erectile dysfunction?

The procedure is generally safe with a low rate of complications. The most commonly reported side effects are mild to rare: swelling, redness, transient discomfort, or itching in the application area. Occasionally, small bruises may occur. They are very rare and usually short-lived.

How does shockwave therapy for erectile dysfunction proceed?

According to the LSTC-ED study, the patient undergoes a series of sessions (e.g., 4 sessions with a total of 4,000 shocks). Shockwaves are applied using a special device (e.g., PiezoWave²), which linearly covers the entire corpora cavernosa and crura penis. The energy stimulates neovascularization and tissue regeneration; the procedure is outpatient, without anesthesia, comfortable, and takes tens of minutes.
