Erectile Dysfunction Treatment...

What Are the Root Causes of E.D.?

Restricted blood flow is ultimately the main root cause of erectile dysfunction, which is why most treatments, including ‘blue pills’, pumps, traction, Shock Wave Therapy and surgery ALL work to create the same goal – to improve or fix an unrestricted ‘blood flow’ to create a sustained penetrable erection.

Deterioration of Blood Supply

Restricted blood flow is ultimately the root cause of erectile dysfunction, which is why most treatments, including ‘blue pills’ pumps, traction, shock wave Therapy and surgery ALL work to create the same goal – to improve or fix ‘Blood Flow’ to create a sustained penetrable erection.

Psychological Causes of Erectile Dysfunction

The conscious and unconscious mind play a massive key role in triggering a series of physical (or psychosomatic) reactions, including creating and maintaining a good quality erection. The process is started and maintained with feelings of sexual arousal and or excitement. Several issues (both conscious and unconscious) can interfere with sexual feelings causing or making worse erectile dysfunction.

Main triggers include:

• Depression
• Anxiety
• Mental health conditions
• Stress
• Inferiority complexes
• Confidence
• Obsessive or compulsive disorders
• Worrying
• Relationship problems
• Other psychological concerns

When E.D. means that sexual penetration is no longer possible, (or difficult) the sufferer can hit a massive psychological and emotional brick wall and rock bottom soon follows.

This can be a time of immense distress and emotional confusion; disbelief of the situation can turn the sufferer’s whole life upside down.

This is often the point at which many men visit our Centre, often thinking that there is no real cure for their E.D. In fact, nothing could be further from the truth, no matter how bad things may seem, there is a cure, or a fix for almost every man with E.D. even when the sufferer is in a great deal of confused turmoil or shock. Many men (mistakenly) get to a point where they think; “I just have to come to terms with losing my sex life.” This inevitably leads to enormous feelings of failure, inferiority and all the anxiety, stress and depression which comes with such a massive blow to a man’s ego and pride, not to mention his relationship, marriage, self-respect, and happiness.

This new, altered, and negative state of mind affects almost everything, even confidence at work, leaving a man stunned and shocked while contemplating the fact that he believes he is no longer the man he used to be.

Seeking medical help through an N.H.S. Doctor is always recommended, although may be disappointing in terms of delays for appointments and restricted medical treatments.

N.H.S. treatments have been affected by cutbacks over recent years and are now severely restricted. Many treatments which used to be available from the N.H.S. such as scar and plaque dissolving injections for Peyronie’s disease and penile fractures are no longer available in the UK for E.D. (although still available in most other countries including the U.S.A.) Other important and proven therapies, such as specialist E.D. Psychotherapy sessions for men suffering severe stress and anxiety following E.D. and physical treatments like focused Shock Wave Therapy is not available from the N.H.S for E.D. or Peyronie’s disease.

Current reports and patient experiences teach us that the N.H.S. is becoming an even more restricted health service, which has resulted in very few N.H.S. options for established Peyronie’s disease and or advanced (acute) E.D. The remaining options are either suction devices, or (last resort) highly invasive, surgery and surgically implanted inflatable devices which are only available if your E.D. meets an advanced degree of N.H.S. ‘criteria,’ if this criteria is met… it is not unusual to have to wait for two years to see a Specialist Consultant, with a further three years wait after being added to the waiting list for implant surgery!

How Dose It Work?

Although the name suggests a form of ‘electric shock’ Focused acoustic shock waves are harmless ‘sonic sound waves.’

It works by delivering ‘focused high intensity acoustic sound shock waves’ to affected internal tissues, which increases blood flow, breaks down deposits of plaque, stimulates the body’s own accelerated healing, while repairing ‘and’ regenerating brand new blood vessels, which ‘fixes the root cause,’ not just the E.D.
