WHAT IS ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION (ED)?

ED is when a man cannot achieve or sustain an erection for sexual intercourse. An erection occurs when blood flows into the corpora cavernosa (erection bodies) and gets trapped there. If the blood has problems getting to or staying in those erection bodies, you may have erectile dysfunction.

It is a common male condition. This can be:

  • a total inability,
  • inconsistent ability, or
  • a tendency to sustain only brief erections.

Over 18 million adult men* in the U.S. have ED. Only 10% of men seek treatment, and many don’t because they are too embarrassed to discuss their sexual health issues with a doctor. There is no need to suffer in silence.

We understand your sensitivities related to ED. We are here for you.

Evidence of Vascular Repair

WHAT IS THE CAUSE OF ED?

An erection occurs when blood flows into the corpora cavernosa (erection bodies) and gets trapped there. If the blood has problems getting to or staying in those erection bodies, you may have erectile dysfunction.
There are many potential causes for erectile dysfunction:
BEHAVIORAL • High stress
• Alcohol consumption
• Cigarette Smoking, Drugs such as Cocaine and marijuana
PSYCHOLOGYCAL • Low self-esteem
• Anxiety
• Depression.
• Low self-esteem
BIOLOGICAL • Vascular conditions:
– High blood pressure
– Elevated cholesterol
– Cardiovascular disease
• Diabetes
• Trauma:
– Spinal cord injury
– Pelvis injury
• Neurologic disease:
– Stroke
– Parkinson’s disease
– Alzheimer’s disease
• Radiation to the pelvis for cancer
• Endocrine:
– Hypogonadism (low testosterone)
– Hyperprolactinemia (high prolactin levels)
• Neurologic disease:
– Stroke
– Parkinson’s disease
– Alzheimer’s disease
• Pelvis surgery:
– Radical prostatectomy (a surgical procedure for the partial or complete removal of the prostate)
– Surgeries for rectal cancer or bladder cancer
• Medication side effects:
– Antidepressants
– Antihypertensives (high blood pressure medicine)
– Antiandrogens (testosterone blockers)
– Antiarrhythmics (heart rhythm medicine)
• Aging

Diabetes & ED
Half of men with diabetes will experience ED within 10 years of their diagnosis. High blood sugar levels can damage the nerves that control sexual stimulation. They can also damage the blood vessels needed to provide adequate blood flow to the penis to have and maintain an erection.
While oral medications are a common first step for therapy, they only tend to work in about 50 percent of men with diabetes. Diabetic men are more likely to move on to other treatment options, such as the pump, penile injection therapy, penile implants or shockwave therapy. However, the shockwave therapy has the highest satisfaction rate of all treatment options with No pain, No downtime, No needle, No Pills, and No Surgery.
ED & Heart Disease
Erectile dysfunction can be a warning sign of current or future heart disease sometimes. In fact, ED can precede coronary artery disease in almost 70 percent of cases.
When you have heart disease, or coronary artery disease (blocked blood vessels), it will affect the tiny arteries in your penis sooner. Many times, we will refer you to a cardiologist to determine if you have cardiovascular disease that is causing your ED.
Improving your heart health can help lower your risk for ED. You can start by:
• increasing physical activity,
• quitting tobacco products,
• losing weight, and
• consuming a healthy, well-balanced diet.
Prostate Cancer & ED
Erectile dysfunction is a potential complication following prostate cancer treatments. The nerves that control an erection lie very close to the prostate and may be injured during treatment. However, some men may regain their previous level of erectile function with nerve-sparing procedures. But it may take up to a year while some men may never recover their ability to have a natural erection.
Radiation for prostate cancer can cause ED symptoms to appear gradually, usually within two to three years after treatment. If you are experiencing ED after undergoing prostate cancer treatment, you can get a healthy sex life back. We can help you choose the best treatment options for you.

HOW IT WORKS

We use a noninvasive, low intensity sound waves are delivered into the tissue of the penis to stimulate healing. In just a few short minutes, the sound waves promote healing and restoration of your natural sexual function by clearing plaque out of blood vessels and stimulating the growth of new ones.
Rather than relying on pills or injections, shockwave therapy reverses the underlying issues causing erectile dysfunction or Peyronie’s disease in the first place.
The result? Stronger erections and a healthier sex life than you’ve had in years.
A 6-treatment series is administered over the course of three weeks and most patients notice positive benefits quickly in the process.

WHAT TO EXPECT

A virtual consultation call or an in-person consultation visit is needed to determine if you are a candidate before your treatment scheduled.

  • We understand patient sensitivities related to ED. You can provide us your name such as AJ. Mask is a must and sunglasses are totally fine.
  • Greeted with a warm welcome, checked-in, drinking water and walked to your treatment room.
  • You will ask you to fill the IIEF and EHF form to confirm performance issue.
  • We do a quick test and start with applying ultrasound gel the low intensity shock wave handpiece and start the treatment.
  • There will be 300 pulses in each 5 areas. 2 and half minute each area. It is a very comfortable and completely pain-free treatment.
  • You can expect to see full results after 3 weeks.
  • Twice a week treatment. 6 treatments need to be completed.

You are NOT a good candidate for this treatment if you have any of these following conditions:
• Any cause of ED other than vascular etiology
• Patients with penile tumor, prostatic tumor, or testicular tumor
• Patients with local tumor at the treatment area
• Patients with skin wound or infection at the treatment area
• Patient with blood clotting disorder (including thrombosis)
• Patient who has received steroid injection within 6 weeks
• Patient who has a placed pacemaker
• Patient who is under the age of 18 years old
• Patients taking depression, anxiety, or blood pressure medications may NOT be suitable candidates.
Following patients shall only be treated under physician discretion:
o Patients having INR > 2.5, prolonged partial thromboplastin time (PTT) or prolonged bleeding time and platelet count less than 100,000 per microliter
o Patients receiving an anticoagulant or antiaggregant therapy (e.g., aspirin)
For patients using PDE5-I prescriptions, ensure they are OFF medication at least 1-month prior to beginning treatment. The 4 major PDE5 inhibitors are Sildenafil (Viagra), Tadalafil (Cialis), Vardenafil (Levitra), and Avanafil (Strendra). During the penile erection process, cGMP is embolized through the pDE5 enzyme and cannot exert its downstream erectile effect.

We will validate to see if you are a candidate using the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) which is designed for detecting treatment-related responses in patients with ED by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the American Urological Association (AUA) to clinically diagnosis ED and often cited in clinical studies
We must determine that your performance issue is vasculogenic vs. behavioral or psychological
When we know the blood flow is your root cause with No depression/anxiety/blood pressure medication, NO history of listed contraindications. The treatment will work for you.
1-month wash-out period is recommended for patient’s taking prescription drugs
We will discuss your treatment plan and follow patient progress (EHS)

Penile shockwave therapy using the Duo by Alma technology is a quick and easy procedure that takes about 15 minutes to conduct. The specialized Duo handpiece will be passed over the target region to increase blood flow. Penile shockwave therapy does not cause pain or consist of invasive approaches, which makes it the ideal workday procedure.

Shockwave therapy does not require incisions, pills, or sedation so men can continue their usual activities following their session. Not having any needed healing makes this an effective option for people struggling with erectile dysfunction.

The improvements reaped from the Duo device are long-lasting. Most patients note that their results remain for about a year or more. Usually, we encourage a set of six sessions over a period of one month to achieve the best outcomes. Our team typically books follow-ups two times each week for three weeks in a row.

A 6-treatment series is administered over the course of three weeks. Each treatments is done 3-4 days apart.
