ESWT (Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy)

ESWT (Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy), a revolutionary development in male urology, offers a non-surgical, drug-free, and painless treatment option, especially for patients experiencing erectile dysfunction. Unlike traditional methods, this technology not only relieves symptoms but also addresses the root cause of the problem by promoting tissue regeneration.

At Uro Health Clinic, we offer our patients the most reliable results in modern medicine with our high-intensity shock wave devices.

What is ESWT and how does it work?

Shockwave therapy is based on the principle of delivering low-intensity sound waves from outside the body to the targeted tissue. These waves create “micro-traumas” in the tissue, activating the body’s natural healing mechanisms.

The acoustic waves applied during the procedure revitalize the vascular structure of the penis. This process, called “angiogenesis” in medical literature, triggers the formation of new blood vessels in the area and significantly increases blood flow. As a result, the erection mechanism naturally regains its former strength. Our expert team at the clinic analyzes each patient’s vascular structure and determines personalized energy levels.

What are the advantages of ESWT treatment?

While classic drug treatments only have an effect at the time of use, ESWT treatment initiates a long-term and permanent healing process by repairing the tissue. The fact that it involves no surgical incisions or needles makes it one of the most comfortable options for patients.

Painless and Fast: No anesthesia is required during the procedure; the patient only feels a slight tingling sensation.
No Risk of Side Effects: Unlike medications, it poses no risk to people with heart disease, high blood pressure, or diabetes.
No hospitalization required: Also known as “lunchtime treatment,” this procedure allows the patient to immediately return to their daily life.
Permanent Tissue Repair: Erection quality improves naturally thanks to the formation of new blood vessels.

Who is a suitable candidate for ESWT treatment?

Suitable for men of all ages experiencing erectile dysfunction, ESWT has a high success rate, especially in individuals whose performance is impaired due to conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or atherosclerosis.

ESWT is an excellent alternative for patients who do not achieve sufficient results from drug therapy or who do not want to use medication continuously. It is also successfully applied to accelerate tissue healing in erectile dysfunction that develops after prostate surgery. Detailed Doppler ultrasound examinations performed in our clinic determine the patient’s vascular condition, and the effectiveness of ESWT can be predicted in advance.

Treatment Process and Expected Outcomes

ESWT treatment is generally a process planned in sessions, and its effect increases cumulatively as the sessions progress. The success rate can reach up to 80%, depending on the patient’s overall health and the stage of the problem.

A standard treatment protocol typically ranges from 6 to 12 sessions. Each session lasts approximately 20 minutes and is administered weekly. Patients begin to notice a significant improvement in morning erections and sexual performance from the 3rd or 4th session onwards. At Uro Health Clinic, located in our prestigious Zorlu Center, we manage this process in the most comfortable way possible, maintaining confidentiality and academic discipline.

ESWT (Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy) - Frequently Asked Questions

1. What exactly is ESWT treatment, and does it involve applying electricity to the penis?

No, no electricity is applied. ESWT is a method that uses low-intensity sound waves (acoustic waves). These sound waves stimulate micro-level tissue regeneration, triggering the formation of new blood vessels.

2. Will I feel any pain or discomfort during the procedure?

The procedure is completely painless. It does not require anesthesia or numbing cream. Our patients only feel a slight vibration or tingling sensation during the procedure; it does not involve any surgical intervention, needles, or incisions.

3. How long does a session last and how many sessions should I have?

Each session lasts approximately 15-20 minutes. A standard treatment protocol typically involves 6 to 12 sessions in total, usually once or twice a week, depending on the patient’s condition.

4. I am taking medication for erectile dysfunction; can I stop taking it after ESWT?

The primary goal of ESWT is to repair the vascular disorder at the root of the problem. Many of our patients regain their erection quality naturally without needing medication after the treatment process is complete.

5. When will I start to see results?

The effect is cumulative, meaning it increases with each session. Significant improvements in morning erections and sexual performance quality are usually observed starting after the 3rd or 4th session.

6. Are there any side effects? Can people with heart disease or diabetes have it done?

ESWT has no known serious side effects. Unlike medications, it is a completely safe and risk-free method for individuals with cardiovascular health problems, high blood pressure, or diabetes.

7. Why is it called "lunchtime treatment"?

The procedure is so practical that our patients can come to our clinic during their lunch break from work, receive treatment, and immediately return to their daily tasks or social lives without any restrictions.

8. What is the success rate of ESWT treatment?

With the right patient selection and professional application, the success rate can reach up to 80%. Our clinic uses Doppler ultrasound examinations to predict the effectiveness of your treatment beforehand.

9. Is it suitable for those experiencing erectile dysfunction after prostate surgery?

Yes. ESWT is successfully used to accelerate tissue healing and revitalize nerve/vascular activity after prostate surgeries.

10. Why should I get ESWT at Urohealth Clinic?

At Urohealth Clinic, we use high-tech, focused shock wave devices. In our modern clinic environment at Zorlu Center, we aim to provide you with the most effective and lasting results with the academic experience of our expert medical staff. This results in less bleeding, smaller scars, less pain, and a much faster hospital discharge.
