Abstract

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a very common sexual disorder in men, with its incidence increasing with the aging process. Among ED treatment methods, non-pharmacological interventions are researched extensively in the hope of treating the vascular and neurological causes of the disorder. We conducted a study to evaluate the effectiveness of ED treatment using extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) to assess the effectiveness and safety of the method after one month. The results showed that the average age of the study subjects was 45.45 ± 10.18, and the average BMI was 23.54 ± 2.4 kg/m2. There were no differences between the ESWT group and the control group in terms of EHS and IIEF scores before the study. After one month of treatment, the ESWT group had a statistically significant improvement in erectile function (p < 0.05). Side effects were discomfort at the wave site (10.52%) and penile edema (1.75%), which no longer existed after one month of treatment. In conclusion, ESWT is an effective and safe method for ED treatment.
