Benefits of GAINSWave™ Treatments

What are the Benefits of Shockwave Therapy?

For men with or without erectile dysfunction, GAINSWave™ can provide serious benefits and completely reshape your sex life. For many years, men with ED have resorted to oral ED medications such as Viagra and Cialis, to relieve their symptoms. While these medications can sometimes be useful for temporary relief of the symptoms of decreased erectile function, they don't target the root cause of most patients' ED and can often bring unwanted side effects.

Benefits of pulsed acoustic wave therapy:

• Harder and more sustained erections
• Relief from the symptoms of Peyronie’s Disease
• Improved sensitivity
• Decreased refractory time between orgasms
• Increased confidence in the bedroom

Erectile Dysfunction Treatment Bergen County NJ

If a man suffers from a consistent inability to get or maintain a suitable erection for a satisfying sexual experience, it is medically categorized as erectile dysfunction (ED). Although impotence may only be temporary or situational, ED occurs when a man loses his erection before intercourse, only gets a partial erection, or gets no erection at all. Since the penis is an end artery, blood circulation is intrinsically precarious and most men suffer from impotence due to ED at one time or another. Unfortunately, most men don't like to talk about it.

According to a recent article published by the National Institute of Health, erectile dysfunction is very common and affects 30 million men annually. In fact, there are no established criteria for how often an erection problem has to occur or for how long the condition has to continue to qualify for diagnosis as erectile dysfunction. Although ED is not considered a natural part of the aging process, it does affect about 100 million men worldwide. Due to the fact that ED is a sensitive subject, the earlier the diagnosis and erectile dysfunction treatment, the better the outcome.

How GAINSWave Works

The medical diagnosis of erectile dysfunction is easy but determining the exact cause can be more difficult. Physical, mental and chemical attributes play a role in maintaining a healthy erection while poor blood flow and damaged penile tissue are common culprits of a failed erection. Thanks to NJ GAINSWave erectile dysfunction treatment in Bergen County, using extracorporeal shock wave therapy is now available and performed as an in-office medical procedure with benefits* including:

• Harder and more sustained erections
• Drug free option for treating ED
• Surgery free in-office procedure
• Takes less than 30 minutes
• Eliminates dangerous side effects
• More spontaneous sexual activities
• Enhanced male sexual performance
• Less recovery time between orgasms

Low-intensity shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment regimen that results in new blood vessel growth for improved blood flow to the penis. The extracorporeal treatments help rejuvenate the erectile mechanism to enable faster, firmer erections for more spontaneous sexual activity. Best of all, many patients who fail to respond to ED medications are good candidates for shockwave therapy.

*NOTE: Every man's body is different, so results may vary from one case to the next. Our erectile dysfunction treatment specialists can also address other male sexual health issues to optimize your performance for your most intimate moments.

Safe Alternative to the "Little Blue Pill"

Erectile dysfunction is more likely to occur as a man gets older, however, age itself does not cause ED. In fact, ED can happen to men at any age. As you grow older, you may need more time or additional stimulation for satisfactory sexual performance, but ED is not inevitable. That's why we are proud to offer GAINSWave shockwave erectile dysfunction treatment to enable men to regain spontaneous activity with normal intimacy but without the adverse effects of ED medications that often cause unwanted symptoms, such as vision changes, facial flushing, dizziness, upset stomach and headaches.

The onset of metabolic diseases, like high blood pressure or diabetes, can cause problems with erections due to a narrowing of the penile arteries as well as from lower levels of nitric oxide production from the arteries. In patients with medically low testosterone, treatments may be prescribed to improve libido and rejuvenate the male sex organ without the use of ED medications. In addition, erectile dysfunction treatment can include a mechanical vacuum device that engorges blood into the penis. Since there is currently no cure for ED, timely interventions to restore normal sexual functions can be crucial to preventing progression of the condition.

Frequently Asked Questions

Peyronie's Disease Treatment Bergen County

A man's penis is an important part of his identity and plays a major role in urinary and sexual functions. More importantly, a man's sexuality is a key source of physical pleasure for procreation and emotional bonding with a partner. Although penises come in all shapes and sizes, a non-painful curve to one direction or the other does not cause problems. However, when the formation of fibrous tissue, called plaque, hardens in the spongy tissue, any extreme angle or curve can become quite painful during a firm erection.

The plaque beneath the skin is not a tumor but, if left unattended, it can lead to serious problems including diminished emotional well-being and dissatisfaction with one's sex life. Although the root cause of Peyronie's disease is somewhat unknown, medical experts believe many cases are caused by trauma to the penis, such as an unusual motion that caused the penis to bend during an erection. Nonetheless, some men experience Peyronie's disease with no history of trauma suggesting the aging process and genetic makeup also are likely contributors to an extreme curvature.

Symptoms of Peyronie's Disease

The penis is comprised of two erectile rods called the corpora cavernosa that can become inflamed during sexual relations causing scar tissue to form. Although Peyronie's disease is rare, the buildup of plague can cause the penis to bend at an extreme angle leading to an extremely painful sexual experience. Common symptoms of the disorder include:

• Plague-related loss of flexibility
• Discomfort during intercourse
• Lack of penetration due to curvature
• Lumps or hardness in the penis
• ESoft or flaccid erections
• Swelling or bruising of penile tissue

Many men are embarrassed to talk about their condition and choose to suffer in silence rather than discussing treatment options with a doctor who specializes in men's health. Unfortunately, Peyronie's disease can create a serious quality-of-life issue, especially if sexual intercourse becomes increasingly painful. It may also lead to a shortening of the penis, or cause pain when the penis is not erect.

Safe Options for Treating Peyronie's Disease?

Development of Peyronie's disease is a very dynamic process early on but the inflammation may decrease with time. Nonetheless, without therapy, worsening of the curvature is likely to continue. A physical exam and discussion with a men's health specialist is usually sufficient to diagnose the disorder.* An effective treatment regimen for curvature of the penis can be individualized for each patient. Although Peyronie's disease is seldom seen in young men, some cases are reported by men in their early 30s. The disease is considered active anytime there is pain associated with an erection.

By utilizing pulsed acoustic waves to breakdown fibrous plaque, NJ GAINSWave Therapy offers a great alternative to previously recommended PD treatments and chemical options. Multiple studies have concluded that shockwave therapy utilizes a proven method as a lasting treatment option for restoring sexual function to an affected organ. Furthermore, the pulsed waves can effectively break up plaque deposits within the arterial walls for improved blood flow.

Frequently Asked Questions

Sexual Performance Treatments Bergen Co.

Sex plays an important role in a man's life. It is something that he starts to think about early on and, with the proper sexual maintenance, will think about the rest of his days. But, problems that occur during any phase of the sexual response cycle can prevent an individual or couple from experiencing satisfaction from a sexual activity. Unfortunately, sexual performance is a topic that most men and women are hesitant to discuss. Seniors are most commonly affected but physical and psychological causes can occur in adults at all ages.

According to statistics published by the National Institutes of Health, sexual dysfunctions are highly prevalent and affect about 43% of women and 31% of men in a recent population-based study. Male sexual functions involve a number of organs and structures in the genitalia. Erectile bodies are an essential for engorgement of the penis with blood, which leads to penile tumescence. Peripheral and central stimuli as well as sexual cues activate spinal nuclei that maintain penile erection and result in ejaculation.

Most Common Male Sexual Dysfunctions*

There have been significant advances in the understanding of how sexual performance treatments can provide proper maintenance to support the physiology of the male sexual function. Some common types of male sexual dysfunction include:

• Decreased sex drive - Low libido often is linked with low levels of male testosterone hormone (or Low-T). Metabolic diseases, performance anxiety or certain medications can lead to a reduced interest in sex.
• Erectile dysfunction (ED) - The inability to get or maintain an erection for sexual intercourse effects about half of the men over age 40 at sometime in their life. Diseases, penile injuries, stress, and unhealthy habits (lifestyle issues) are common causes linked to ED.
• Premature ejaculation (PE) - The exact cause of PE are unknown but studies suggest that nerve damage, medications and a breakdown of serotonin may play a major role in early ejaculation.
• Inhibited ejaculation - Delayed ejaculation is common in men with long-term health issues, alcohol abuse, following surgeries, drug side effects, and poorly managed stress.
• Retrograde ejaculation - Nerve damage to the bladder can force ejaculate to flow backward. This is most common in males who suffer from diabetic nerve damage or following bladder or prostate surgery.
• Penile Curvature (Peyronie's) - The two most likely causes of Peyronie's disease are penis injury and genetic predisposition that can result in penile curvature that prevents penetration and/or causes severe pain during intercourse.

When seeking treatments for male performance and sexual maintenance, our doctor may ask about your symptoms and want to discuss your medical and sexual history in detail. Although this may include sensitive questions, do not be embarrassed and remember it is important to answer these personal questions honestly.

*NOTE: Every man's body is different, so male sexual performance issues can vary greatly from one person to the next.
