ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION
Erectile dysfunction (ED), also known as impotence, is the inability to get and maintain an erection. Erectile dysfunction can have a range of causes, both physical and psychological.
Physical causes include:
-
narrowing of the blood vessels going to the penis – commonly associated with high blood pressure (hypertension), high cholesterol or diabetes
-
hormonal problems
-
surgery or injury
Psychological causes of ED include:
-
anxiety
-
depression
-
relationship problems
Sometimes erectile dysfunction only occurs in certain situations. For example, you may be able to get an erection during masturbation, or you may find that you sometimes wake up with an erection but you are unable to get an erection with your sexual partner.
​
Although it is normal to feel uncomfortable or embarrassed, it's important to know that this is extremely common, and to identify the cause with the right diagnosis.
​
Possible treatments offered;
-
PRP- Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is a biologically active substance derived from a person’s own blood that promotes healing and growth.
​
-
Shockwave Therapy- Erections rely on healthy blood flow to the penile tissue. Shockwave therapy is viewed favourably as a way of repairing and strengthening blood vessels in the penis and improving blood flow.
PRP for the Penis
The Process
PRP- Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is a biologically active substance derived from a person’s own blood that promotes healing and growth.
‘PRP treatments’ involve taking a small sample of the patient's blood, placing it in a centrifuge and spinning it to separate the PRP from the rest of the blood. With numbing cream to ensure maximum comfort throughout the entire procedure, PRP is safely injected into the penis at specific sites to obtain the desired outcome.
The Outcome
The expected outcome of the procedure includes improved: ​
​
-
Penis size
-
Aappearance and sensation of the penis
-
Strength of erections
-
Sexual stamina to help improve your sex life.
SHOCK WAVE THERAPY
Shockwave therapy is the latest treatment modality for patients suffering from erectile dysfunction. It is one of the few treatment options that improves natural erections and can potentially rejuvenate the erection mechanism. In addition, shockwave therapy has the following advantages:
​
-
Non-invasive treatment lasting 20 minutes in a treatment room – walk in and walk out within 30 minutes total
-
No medication required
-
Significant clinical benefit often experienced 6-8 weeks after treatment
Process
​
Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (EWST) works by passing shock waves, an intense but short energy wave that travels faster than the speed of sounds into the tissues.
Results
​
1. Promotes the development of new blood vessels (angio-genesis) in the penis, which means that the blood flow to the penis increases and hence stronger erections are achieved.
​
2. Rejuvenation of the penis’ ‘smooth muscle’. The majority of patients suffering from ED do so because the smooth muscle in their penile arteries has been damaged, thus inhibiting the functioning of the so-called veno-occlusive mechanism.
Shockwave therapy has been shown to induce the body to repair the smooth muscle in the penis and thus improve the function of the veno-occlusive mechanism.
HORMONE REPLACEMENT OPTIMISATION THERAPY
This is a type of therapy that is commonly used to treat those who have low testosterone levels. Those who suffer from low testosterone often do so because of age or other medical conditions.
After the age of 30, testosterone levels in men can decline somewhat, and this is often not problematic. But if your testosterone levels get too low, it can cause a range of symptoms and interfere with your daily life, overall wellness, and relationships.
​
Some common symptoms are;
​
-
Reduced sex drive
-
Erectile dysfunction
-
Lower energy levels
-
Higher body fat
-
Mood swings
-
Hair loss
​
If any of these symptoms sound familiar, please feel free to book a consultation appointment with Dr Daly and our medical expert team.
PERYONIE'S DISEASE
Peryonie's Disease causes the penis to become curved.The condition mostly affects men over 40 years old although it can happen at any age.
The symptoms include;
-
A thickened lump (plaque) in the shaft
-
An upturned penis (usually upwards)
-
Pain during an erection
-
Sometimes has an hourglass shape or misshapen
-
Loss of length or girth
CBP
Chronic Bacterial Prostatitis (CBP) and Chronic Prostatitis/Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CP/CPPS) are common, debilitating conditions, with 35–50% of men reported to be affected by symptoms at some time in their life.
​
The most common symptom of Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome is pain or discomfort in one or multiple urogenital regions including the:
​
-
Perineum (the area between the anus and the scrotum)
-
Suprapubic region (the area above the pubic hair)
-
Testicles
-
Penis (especially penile tip pain)
-
Lower back, abdomen or rectum
Process
Treatment begins with a consultation with Dr Stuart Daly or another member of the expert team. Once the doctor and patient are happy to continue with the process, it will start with a daily dosing of tadalafil (Cialis) before moving onto a course of Extracorporeal Shockwave Treatment in the perineum area.
Outcome
Many patients will start feeling improvements within a week of starting treatment (as a result of the daily intake of Cialis). The therapeutic effect of the shockwave treatment is usually felt 4 weeks from the start of the treatment.
​
The shockwave treatment comprises four 20-minute sessions (1 or 2 sessions per week) and needs to be performed only once. Cialis will be taken on an ongoing daily basis.
