Our modern world is full of innovative treatments for common diseases, including erectile dysfunction. Two newer selections include shockwave therapy and PRP injections. It’s helpful to know about these options if you or a loved one has ED and wants to try an innovative technique for recovery.
What is Shockwave Therapy for ED?
Shockwave therapy, or Pulsewave Therapy, utilizes low-intensity radio waves to help the body. These waves exist to increase blood flow and stimulate penile tissue, prompting the body to create new blood vessels. It can also make everything more sensitive, which can assist with ED.
A small wand is used to provide shockwave therapy with a licensed doctor. So far, it’s brought several successful results among patients, especially when paired with PRP injections, another valuable possibility for ED patients.
What Are PRP Injections for ED?
PRP injections, or the priapus shot, is an experimental process that takes plasma-rich blood from the blood and injects it into your penis. The cells and tissues injected promote tissue growth and improve intimate experiences.
There is limited anecdotal evidence about the PRP injection thus far, so it’s vital to speak to your doctor before doing anything. However, doctors think PRP injections can improve blood flow, repair responses, new neural pathways, and even assist with a placebo effect.
Can You Do Shockwave Therapy With PRP Injections?
You can do either of these therapy selections apart from each other. Still, you can also combine shockwave therapy and PRP injections to possibly gain both effects and encourage the body to function well.
Although some might be concerned about using the two together, current studies show they are safe to use in combination. However, there is only a small sample size thus far, so the future will reveal more about the success of these two therapy tactics.
