Shockwave Therapy for Erectile Dysfunction

Erectile Dysfunction (ED) is a global problem.

Welcome to ED-Information. Take the first step towards regaining natural performance and confidence today.

320 Million

men³ are estimated to suffer from ED

52%

of men between⁴ the ages of 40 and 70 experience some degree of ED

48%

risk⁵ of side effects with PDE5i pills (popular brands: Viagra, Cialis, etc.)

20%

of all relationship breakups⁶ are caused by persistent ED

The IIEF-5 Questionnaire (International Index of Erectile Function) can provide indications of whether a medical issue related to erectile dysfunction may be present.

TREATMENT METHODS

MEDICATION-BASED TREATMENTS


Well-known therapies such as PDE5 inhibitors, apomorphine or impotence injections are often associated with side effects⁷.

NON-MEDICATION-BASED TREATMENTS

​

Compared to more invasive methods such as penile prosthesis implantation or the use of a vacuum erection device, low-intensity shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment option that is generally well tolerated⁸.

NATURAL ED RELIEF WITH
INNOVATIVE SHOCKWAVE THERAPY

Low-intensity extracorporeal shockwave therapy (LI-ESWT) represents an innovative and proven method for treating erectile dysfunction, as measured¹⁴ by International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) and Erection Hardness Score (EHS). This therapy leads to a significant improvement in erectile function, enabling patients to regain sexual spontaneity, which in turn restores their overall quality of life. The effectiveness of shockwave therapy is based on addressing the primary cause of erectile dysfunction: reduced blood flow to the penile tissue.

SIMPLE

TREATMENT

Shockwave therapy is a gentle and effective treatment option for patients with urogenital conditions.

NON-

INVASIVE

Shockwave therapy is generally pain-free and requires no anesthesia. To date, no significant side effects have been observed.

SCIENTFICALLY

SUPPORTED

The effectiveness of shockwave therapy has been demonstrated in numerous clinical studies. These studies¹⁵ show that improvement in erectile function can last for at least two years after treatment.

RESTORES

NATURAL ERECTIONS

By stimulating the body’s own production of growth factors and promoting the formation of new blood vessels, shockwaves facilitate the development of natural erection.

WHAT ARE SHOCKWAVES?

Shockwaves¹⁶ are acoustic waves with an extremely rapid rise time of a few nanoseconds, characterized by a pulse of positive pressure followed by a phase of negative pressure.

​

Shockwaves have been used for over two decades to improve blood circulation and support tissue regeneration across multiple clinical domains¹⁷, such as urology, orthopedics, sports medicine, aesthetics and wound care.

HOW DO THE TREATMENT WORKS?

And how effective are they?

Shockwave therapy harnesses the biological effects¹⁷ of acoustic waves to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes at both the cellular and vascular levels. It promotes the formation of new blood vessels (neovascularization), enhances local blood flow and triggers the release of angiogenic growth factors such as VEGF. Preclinical and clinical studies also indicate that shockwaves may stimulate the migration of stem cells to the treated area, further supporting tissue regeneration and vascular repair.

These combined effects contribute to a sustained improvement¹⁸ in erectile function by targeting one of the primary causes of erectile dysfunction: reduced penile blood flow. As a result, many patients report the restoration of sexual spontaneity and a significant improvement in quality of life.

Shockwave therapy is considered a safe¹⁹ and well-tolerated treatment option, particularly for patients who do not respond to phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors (e.g., sildenafil). It is performed on an outpatient basis, does not require anesthesia, and is typically described as pain-free. To date²⁰, no serious adverse effects have been reported in clinical studies.

HOW IS THE
DEVICE DESIGNED?

Currently, there are several companies worldwide offering shockwave therapy systems. The key difference lies in their medical effectiveness and how thoroughly their technical development has been evaluated through scientific research.

​

With the urogold100 therapy system, MTS Medical provides a clinically tested, non-invasive LI-ESWT treatment option for erectile dysfunction (ED) and other urogenital conditions that are both safe and designed for long-term effectiveness.
