Why Shockwave is Better than P-Shots, Testosterone or Supplements for “ED”
If you suffer from ED (erectile dysfunction) you are not alone. ED is a common condition that affects millions of men around the world. According to a study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, about 52% of men aged 40-70 years old suffer from some form of ED.
Many men waste thousands of dollars – and years of their life – pursuing ED treatments that are ineffective, expensive and have unpleasant side effects. However, Alma Duo shockwave is a non-invasive, highly effective treatment for erectile dysfunction (ED) that is available at Better U Medical Spa in the Hoboken, NJ area.
In this article, men’s sexual health expert Dr. Hetal Gor explains why shockwave treatment is better than P-shots, testosterone therapy, and supplements for treating erectile dysfunction.
How Shockwave Therapy Works
Alma Duo shockwave therapy is an innovative approach to treating ED that uses acoustic waves to improve blood flow and promote the growth of new blood vessels in the penis. The therapy is based on the principle of ‘neovascularization’, which involves the formation of new blood vessels in the body. The treatment works by delivering painless, low-intensity shockwaves to the penis, which stimulates the growth of new blood vessels and improves blood flow to the penis.
The treatment process for Alma Duo shockwave therapy is straightforward. During the session, the patient lies on a bed while a handheld device is placed on their penis. The device delivers low-intensity shockwaves to the penis, which lasts for about 20-30 minutes. Patients may experience a tingling or warm sensation during the treatment, but there is no pain involved.
After the treatment, patients can resume their normal activities immediately. There is no downtime or recovery time required. Patients typically require multiple treatments, depending on the severity of their condition. Each treatment session is spaced about one week apart.
Alma Duo shockwave therapy is a better treatment for ED than hormones, PRP injections, and other forms of shockwave therapy for several reasons. One of the main advantages of Alma Duo shockwave therapy is that it is non-invasive and painless. Unlike other treatments for ED, such as surgery or injections, there is no need for anesthesia or recovery time. Patients can resume their normal activities immediately after the treatment.
Another advantage of Alma Duo shockwave therapy is that it is effective for treating the underlying cause of ED, rather than just the symptoms. Hormones and PRP injections only provide temporary relief from ED symptoms, while shockwave therapy addresses the root cause of the problem by promoting the growth of new blood vessels and improving blood flow to the penis.
Why Shockwave Treatment is Better than the PRP “P-Shot” for ED
Both shockwave therapy and PRP injections are non-surgical treatment options for erectile dysfunction (ED). However, there are some key differences between the two treatments.
PRP injections into the penis – also called the “P Shot” or Priapus Shot” – involve injecting a patient’s own platelet-rich plasma into the penis to stimulate the growth of new blood vessels and improve blood flow. On the other hand, shockwave therapy uses acoustic waves to stimulate the growth of new blood vessels in the penis and improve blood flow. While both treatments have been shown to be effective for treating ED, shockwave therapy is often considered a better option for several reasons.
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that does not require injections. PRP injections, on the other hand, require multiple injections into the penis and can be very painful for patients. Additionally, there is a risk of infection and other complications associated with PRP injections.
Shockwave therapy also provides more consistent and predictable results compared to PRP injections. Shockwave therapy, on the other hand, has been shown to improve erectile function in up to 80% of patients, with minimal side effects.
Additionally, shockwave therapy is a more cost-effective treatment option compared to PRP injections. PRP injections require multiple sessions and can be costly. Shockwave therapy, on the other hand, requires fewer sessions and is more affordable for patients.
Most importantly, shockwave therapy has been shown to provide long-term benefits for ED. Shockwave ED treatment at Better U in the Hoboken area promotes the growth of new blood vessels in the penis, which can improve blood flow and erectile function for several years. PRP injections, on the other hand, may require regular injections to maintain their effectiveness.
Why Shockwave Treatment is Better than Supplements for ED
Over-the-counter (OTC) supplements for erectile dysfunction (ED) are widely available and marketed as a natural alternative to prescription medications. While these supplements may contain herbs, vitamins, and minerals that can support overall sexual health, they are not considered a reliable treatment for ED. Shockwave therapy, on the other hand, is a clinically proven and effective treatment option for ED.
OTC supplements typically work by temporarily increasing blood flow to the penis, which can improve erectile function. Additionally, the effectiveness and safety of these supplements are not well-regulated or well-researched. Some supplements may contain harmful ingredients or interact with other medications, which can lead to adverse effects. Additionally, the effects of these supplements are often short-lived and inconsistent.
Shockwave therapy, on the other hand, works by promoting the growth of new blood vessels in the penis, which can improve blood flow and erectile function.
Why Shockwave Therapy is Better than Testosterone Therapy for ED
To begin with, it is important to note that the majority of cases of ED are not caused by testosterone deficiency. In fact, only a small percentage of men with ED have low testosterone levels. The vast majority of ED cases are caused by either psychological factors (stress, anxiety, etc.) or physiological problems such as poor blood flow to the penis. And, treating ED with testosterone therapy does not address these underlying problems.
On the other hand, shockwave therapy works by increasing blood flow to the penis, which is one of the most common cause of ED. The shockwaves promote the growth of new blood vessels, which improves blood flow to the penis and leads to stronger and longer-lasting erections. Shockwave treatment has been shown to be effective in men with mild to moderate ED, regardless of the cause of the condition.
Testosterone therapy can come with potential serious risks and side effects, such as acne, breast enlargement, and an increased risk of blood clots and prostate cancer. Shockwave therapy, on the other hand, is natural, non-invasive and has minimal risks and side effects.
Another advantage of shockwave therapy over testosterone therapy is the duration of the effects. While testosterone therapy may improve ED symptoms temporarily, it does not address the underlying cause of the problem and may require ongoing treatment. Shockwave therapy, on the other hand, has been shown to have long-lasting effects, with improvements in ED symptoms lasting up to two years.
