What is Erectile Dysfunction?

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the inability to get our keep an erection firm enough to have sexual intercourse.  It's sometimes referred to as impotence, although this term is now used less often. 

Occasional ED isn’t uncommon. Many men experience it during times of stress. Frequent ED, however, can be a sign of health problems that need treatment. It can also be a sign of emotional or relationship difficulties that may need to be addressed by a professional. 

This is the medical term for the build up of fats, cholesterol and other substances resulting in plaque in the arteries.  When the build of of plaque occurs it restricts blood flow resulting in the inability to have a full erection.  Plaque is the number one cause of ED and is linked to high cholesterol, diabetes, smoking, alcohol use, and high blood pressure. 

Rinowave utilizes a pain free technology known as shockwave therapy which breaks up the plaque in the arteries allowing normal blood flow resulting in improved and natural erections without the need for medication or needles. 

Low Testosterone also referred to as (Low-T) can be a contributing factor to ED.  While not typically know as the main cause for ED, having decreased testosterone levels certainty doesn't help the situation.  Low-T is known to decrease libido but also lead to obesity and diabetes which again can increase the likelihood of plaque build up in the arteries. 

Rinowave provides testing to determine if your testosterone levels are low.  If so, your clinical team will develop a customized treatment plan for you.  It may be recommended that you proceed with shockwave therapy in combination with testosterone supplements to achieve the optimal result.
