Ummm....we have not heard from one man that has been happy after spending lots of money on shockwave therapy.
I sought out a focal shockwave provider. and did 6 sessions. I believe it helped but my ED was improving on it's own anyway (after discontinuation of finasteride) so I can't be certain it worked.Ummm....we have not heard from one man that has been happy after spending lots of money on shockwave therapy.
I have used LISWT twice: 10 sessions in 2020 and 5 sessions in January of this year with the type of machine described above that actually showed some results. I can honestly say that both times it helped my EQ over a 9-12 month period. Was it dramatic? No. But it definitely did help. Other factor: doctor is friend of mine and charged a below market price. I don't think I would have done it otherwise.
I consider shockwave a form of physical therapy and an adjunct to all of the other ways to improve ED (hormones, NO boosters, Cialis etc). I don't think it should be promoted as a cure all (which it is in many clinics).
There, you have heard from a couple of guys that had perceived benefits.
