WHAT IS ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION?
Erectile dysfunction (ED) or impotence is a health, sexual problem that affects men of all ages. Men affected by ED are unable to develop or maintain an erection sufficient for intercourse despite being sexually stimulated. Most cases of ED are vascular in origin.
It often happens that the problem of ED is combined with a psychogenic component. Namely, it is culturally established that the sexual act of maintaining an erection is an act of masculinity, and if that part fails, it negatively affects the psychological aspect of the man. He begins to create a bad image of himself and his quality of life deteriorates significantly. It should be emphasized that sexual arousal is a complex mechanism that includes the brain, feelings, hormones, blood system, muscle and nervous system. If any of these mechanisms fail, ED problems can occur. As this is a cultural problem and is related to the feeling of masculinity and the feeling of shame, men often do not come to urologists to solve this problem.
You can solve this problem in our outpatient clinic, with a proven method, which has been used to treat various medical conditions for more than 30 years, for which urologists use the term low-intensity shock wave therapy - focus shockwave.
WHAT IS AN ERECTION, SYMPTOMS AND CONSEQUENCES OF ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION
An erection is the hardening of the male genital organ due to sexual stimulation. The process consists of several stages. The arteries of the penis relax and expand, resulting in a greater flow of blood. As they expand and harden, they put pressure on the veins that drain the blood, so that more and more blood is introduced into the penis, and less and less comes out, thus the penis is getting firmer, and the erection is getting stronger. The quality of an erection is reflected in the ability to achieve an erection, its strength and its maintenance, so that both partners are satisfied during sexual intercourse.
More about erection..
An erection is a physical manifestation of sexual desire that eventually leads to ejaculation, which represents the climax of the sexual act when the seminal fluid is ejected. Erections can exist without libido, such as nocturnal erections or morning erections.
Erection begins with fantasies or stimulation of some senses (touch, smell, hearing). Through nerve pathways, these impulses are transmitted via the spinal cord to the penis, where the penis is filled with blood through the corpora cavernosa. While on the other hand, with the help of special mediators, the valves for blood return to the body are closed so that the penis is full of blood, which ensures its firmness during intercourse.
The problem of erectile dysfunction is most often a consequence of problems:
- blood vessels and reduced blood flow to the penis due to increased triglycerides,
- diabetes,
- heart diseases (risk factor for heart diseases),
- increased body weight (insufficient physical activity).
In practice, it has so far been shown that the problem, apart from the elderly, can also affect the middle-aged population, where the first symptoms appear around the age of 35. ED can lead to a decrease in the quality of life, the breakup of a partner relationship, a decrease in self-confidence, anxiety, depression.
Symptoms of erectile dysfunction can include:
- Problems with achieving an erection
- Problems with maintaining an erection
The current way of treating erectile dysfunction includes pharmacological stimulation (PDE5 - phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors), the use of penile prostheses, vacuum pumps for the penis.
In order for a person to be considered to have a problem with ED, it must have been present continuously for three or more months.
Risky, instant solutions for getting an erection in the form of kamagra tablets and gel, preparations on the black market in the form of the so-called Turkish or Bahraini honey. This way of consuming these substances carries a high risk of side effects. The active substance, method of production, storage, method of transport and their origin is questionable and as such is not recommended at all!
WHAT IS FSW - FOCUS SHOCKWAVE THERAPY?
Focus shock waves are used in orthopedics for painful tendinopathies, calcifying changes and non-healing bone fractures. In urology, they are used for the disintegration of kidney stones, and since 2010, also for the problem of vascular erectile dysfunction, chronic pelvic pain and Peyronie's disease.
Shock waves cause various biological reactions resulting from the shear and pressure forces they produce. This mechanism of action is called mechanotransduction and causes the following effects:
- increasing cell permeability,
- stimulation of microcirculation (blood, lymph),
- reduction of unmyelinated nerve fibers,
- release of nitric oxide (leading to vasodilation, increased metabolic activity and angiogenesis),
- anti-inflammatory effect, antibacterial effect,
- release of growth hormones (blood vessels, epithelium, bones, collagen, etc.),
- stimulation of stem cells,
- stimulation of neurons.
FOCUS SHOCKWAVE THERAPY AND ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION
Focus shockwave therapy for ED problems is a completely painless, non-invasive and non-surgical treatment that helps improve blood flow to the penis. It has its full potential after 6 treatments, where through the new network of blood vessels you have an overall better strength and quality of erection.
Therapies are done in complete privacy in our office at a suitable time that we schedule in advance. The treatment is done once a week for 6 consecutive weeks and the treatment itself lasts between 15 and 20 minutes. Examination and therapy are performed by a specialist in urology, professor doctor Aleksandar Vuksanović, from the urology clinic of the Clinical Center of Serbia.
For more information about therapy, scheduling an examination, and any additional questions, you can contact us on the phone 0614447544 or by e-mail at the address

Extracorporeal therapy with shock waves - Focus shockwave
An innovative therapeutic option for a better quality of life.
Respected,
If you have problems with erectile dysfunction, you are not alone. ED is a condition that affects millions of men worldwide.
The good news is that there are effective treatment options available today.
Many cases of ED are caused by vascular problems.
Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) is a relatively new and innovative method of treating erectile dysfunction. A painless, safe therapeutic experience where many participants report noticeable improvement
their ability to achieve or maintain an erection during the initial weeks of the initiated cycle.
It will be our pleasure to provide you with all the information about the effect of shock wave therapy in the following text

Causes and Therapy
The condition of ED can be caused by a physical or psychological cause. One of the main causes of ED is restricted blood flow to the penis - the amount of blood in the corpora cavernosa is not sufficient to cause an erection. This type of ED is called vascular erectile dysfunction. Men with ED are often treated with oral medications. However, they are not the only way to treat erectile dysfunction. Now, one of the reliable ways of treatment is extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT).
Shockwave therapy
Since 2010, shockwave therapy has been used to treat vascular erectile dysfunction.
During the treatment, the waves are placed on certain anatomical, vascular zones of the penis.
Shockwave therapy is simple and does not require anesthesia before the application itself.
Increased blood flow
Shock waves stimulate the formation of new blood vessels in the corpora cavernosa. This improves blood flow to the penis, which can positively affect the ability to achieve and maintain an erection.
It is planned to do 6 shockwave therapy/treatments which are done once a week.
One therapy session usually lasts 15 minutes.
