What Is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy is a non-surgical treatment that may be used in selected cases of peyronies disease, primarily to address pain on erection and help with associated erectile dysfunction.
It is important to understand that current clinical evidence does not support shockwave therapy as a treatment for penile curvature.
At Moorgate Andrology shockwave therapy is used selectively as apart of a broader evidence-based treatment approach.
What does Shockwave Therapy do ?
Shockwave Therapy involves the applicatoon of low-intensity acoustic waves to targeted areas of tissue.
In peyronies disease, its role is focused on;
Reducing pain in the active phase. Some men get discomfort during erection.
Supporting blood flow
Improving erectile function in selected cases where the strength of the erection has been compromised.
Does Shockwave Therapy Treat Curvature ?
Shockwave therapy is not considered an effective treatment for reducing penile curvature.
While it may help manage pain or associated symptoms, it does not remove plaque or correct structural deformity.
Patients with significant curvature typically require alternative treatments, including surgical options
