The sexual performance of many men begins to decline as they age. For many men, erectile dysfunction is an unavoidable result of aging. They often try to remedy this and rise to the occasion using various available pills.
However, it is not only aging men who struggle with erectile dysfunction. There is a rising number of younger men who have erectile dysfunction. Young men are now turning to pills to help them perform better.
Despite the prevalence of pills, they have a long-term effect on the natural ability to sustain an erection. According to translational andrology and urology, medications play a crucial role in the rise of cardiovascular diseases among men.
So, if not pills, what solution is available to help with erectile dysfunction for young and older men? GAINSWave®.
GAINSWave is a novel procedure that doctors use to treat erectile dysfunction. It is a better alternative to sex performance pills for men of all ages. The treatment utilizes shockwaves to prompt specific actions from the body. The treatment is entirely pain-free and effective.
The treatment has no downtime or side effects that will affect your daily life. The therapy also does not take much time out of your schedule. Each session will last about 20 to 30 minutes. The shockwaves that the treatment uses work by stimulating the growth factors in the body. The growth factors respond by developing new penile tissue, which restores the fullness and length.
It encourages the growth of new blood vessels that affect sexual performance. The new blood flow in the penis ensures longer-lasting and firm erections. The shockwaves also break down plaque that has been collected in the penis. Plaque in the penis can affect its shape and size, directly changing how a man experiences sex.
The number of sessions you need will depend on how long the treatment will take to deliver results. It differs from patient to patient, and several factors influence the outcome. Some patients have significant effects within a few sessions. Others may need a complete series of treatments to gain the desired results.
Some of the factors that determine how long you need the treatment are:
Age
Medical history
Physical health
The severity of the erectile dysfunction
Cause of erectile dysfunction
The average number of sessions doctors recommend for significant results is between six and 12. After the initial round of treatments, there may be maintenance sessions. The results from the therapy can last up to three years.
The leading cause of erectile dysfunction is usually poor blood supply to the penis. It can occur due to the deterioration of blood vessels because of age. Less blood in the sexual organ means getting an erection is difficult or impossible.
Another reason for poor sexual performance is Peyronie’s disease, which makes sex painful. Peyronie’s occurs due to scar tissue formation and plaque accumulation.
