Erectile dysfunction therapy
Hi friends, my doctor described that I have moderate ED which is from the fact that i am unable to have sex without PDE5 inhibitors. He suggested me to opt for shockwave therapy and prp therapy to recover.
I did one session of shockwave and I feel it like 30% improving my situation. I wanted to know if I follow the schedule would it be able to fully recover and are these gains permanent? What is the success rate of prp and shockwave if combined for recovery?

Thank you, I think I need to dig deep for the reason with my doctor but he said it's the stress and blood flow in penis. Yes, maybe that's vasculogenic as you said. Thanks for those research papers.
Yes, the blood flow is vasculogenic. That means it's a physical cause - or at least partly a physical cause. The shockwave therapy should help that.
I couldn't find much at all on php and vasculogenic causes, but there's limited studies on php in general.
If the stress you mentioned is more mental health related, don't hesitate to get therapy if you need to. Address all sides of this for the best outcome. :)

Millions of people are diagnosed with STDs in the U.S. each year.
STDs can't be transmitted by casual contact, like hugging or touching.
Syphilis is an STD that is transmitted by oral, genital and anal sex.
Discharge often isn't normal, and could mean an infection or an STD.
STDs aren't transmitted through clothing. Fabric is a germ barrier.
Normal vaginal discharge varies in color, smell, texture and amount.

If you smoke, apparently it will not as effective than if you didn't.
The success rate of shockwave therapy seems to depend on what is causing your ED.

Since you got some improvement from one session of the shockwave, I'd guess it's vasculogenic ED? It seems to give significant improvement in that type.
I don't know how helpful that was. :(
