Shockwave therapy in urology in “ON Clinic Poltava”

Shockwave therapy (SWT) is based on the impact on the body of high power acoustic waves. For the first time, the technique was developed in 1951 for the treatment of neurological diseases. 

Currently, this type of therapy is actively used in andrology to reduce inflammation, accelerate the regeneration of tissues, and arrest the pain syndrome. Treatment of urological diseases is achieved due to the following effects produced on cells by sound vibrations:

• activation of the cell membrane: it increases the inflow of nutrients, eliminates stagnant phenomena, improves blood supply;
• stimulates metabolism and genesis: intracellular processes are accelerated, which promotes the growth of new, healthy tissues;
• secretion of substances responsible for the reduction of pain syndrome.

The method of shockwave therapy has become widespread not only because of its clinical effectiveness, but also due to additional advantages. This non-invasive kind of therapy does not cause any discomfort to the patient, it shows a good result after the first session. The method has practically no contraindications, although it is not prescribed to patients suffering from the following:

• blood diseases;
• thrombosis;
• tumors located in the affected area (inguinal area);
• infections in the acute phase.

Also, it is necessary to postpone the treatment if the skin is injured. The method has no absolute contraindications and it is suitable for restoring male health at any age. An experienced urologist prescribes the procedure only after a detailed examination. The number of sessions and their duration is determined by a specialist, taking into account the patient’s condition and his diagnosis.

Who will benefit from shockwave therapy?

This type of treatment is prescribed for patients suffering from the following diseases:

• Peyronie’s disease. According to experts, up to 12% of middle-aged men face this condition. To correct the penis deformity, the impact of sound waves is applied. As a rule, several sessions a week are required, and the effect is noticeable after the first visit to the specialist. As a result, the pain syndrome decreases or disappears completely, the potency is restored, the degree of curvature of the organ decreases.
• Erectile dysfunction. With erectile dysfunction, there is a significant deterioration of the blood supply to the pelvis. SWT restores microcirculation of blood and nutrients in tissues, and also promotes the production of hormones responsible for vasodilatation. The blood flow is restored, which contributes to the rapid return of healthy potency.
• Post-traumatic deformity of the penis. The therapy is based on resorption of fibrous formations, as well as acceleration of regeneration of damaged tissues.

If you need to undergo treatment of prostatitis or treatment of chronic pelvic pain syndrome, urologists also often use this method. With the help of soft wave action, the functions of the prostate are restored, the formation of new capillaries is stimulated (which also helps to eliminate the blood stagnation, reduces inflammation and pain).
