Effective Treatment For Erectile Dysfunction in Philadelphia
Conventional treatments for erectile dysfunction like medication and stimulants can lose their effects over time. Patients end up spending a lot of time and money for solutions that only produce mediocre, ineffective results. Finding a solution that not only encourages a healthier sex life but also treats the underlying issue of ED is ideal for most patients.
At Progressive Men’s Health, we offer a non-surgical solution for treating erectile dysfunction. We can address ED with shockwave therapy and in some cases, combining it with PRP (platelet rich plasma) for a more effective result. The treatments have shown remarkable outcomes with little or no side effects and long lasting results. Shockwaves produce microtrauma to the tissue, stimulating the body’s natural healing response. As the body repairs, blood flow is increased and growth factors create new blood vessels to the operated area.
