Shockwave for Erectile Dysfunction

More and more men are having shockwave therapy to fix their erectile dysfunction, either at a clinic or self-administered. This is a forum to for men to discuss what experiences they have had, what treatment they used, and what results they obtained.  The goal is to get men to share their ideas, trials, successes and failures in order to help other men working to improve their mojo as well.

I bought one and I've very happy.

Hi guys.

I bought this Chinese shockwave unit on Amazon.  https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B08NDQFVBN  I bought it on Amazon because I know their return policy is good.  If it wasn't decent quality, I could return it.

I'm 53 years old.  I'm 6'1" 250 pounds, a bit over weight though only recently, mostly due to inactivity (not going to the gym) during COVID.  I have good cardio, I don't smoke, I don't have diabetes and I have good circulation. My blood pressure is just slightly high, but nothing to worry about.

Before: I was suffering from slight ED.  I could get an erection with my woman but it wouldn't stay hard for long.  I could maintain an erection while masturbating, but it often went soft.  I did not wake up with erections. 

I've done 3 sessions with my shockwave unit over 2 weeks, 6,000 pulses per session at 13Hz and 95 mJ using the 1.5" (approx) dia head.  I work the upper base of the penis, the perineum area and the penis itself.  2,000 pulses per area.

At 95mJ, I feel slightly buzzed after a session, like it works my entire vascular system.  My cock feels worked after a session but not sore.  If that makes any sense.

I am very impressed with the quality of my unit. It is a touchscreen, which I didn't expect.  You can select between Chinese and English.  All the settings and controls make sense. 

The user guide is comprehensible and includes a separate section on treating ED. 

The wand is very heavy.  The unit comes with a base to set the wand in when not in use.   The wand has a fan in it that runs for a few minutes after the treatment is complete.   The want cord seems high quality.

The unit is noisy as I suspect they all are.

Disclaimer: I have no affiliation with the seller or the manufacturers.  This is the first shockwave unit I've ever seen or used.

My unit cost C$583 delivered to my door.  Several doctors offer shockwave therapy in my city, at a cost of >$100 per session.  I consider my purchase a very good investment in terms of money and time saved.

I dated a doctor who noticed my ED.  She recommended that I take a daily 5mg prescription of Cialis (Tadalafil) as a preventative measure to prevent hardening of the arteries and to keep the small arteries that feed the penis open.  I did obtain a prescription but have not followed her instructions to take them daily. 

I've taken 2 pills daily to test the effect.  They appear to work well.  I notice an increase in penis engorgement on the days I take them.  I wake up with erections they day after taking one.

Results: I slept with a new woman a few days ago.  I took one 5mg Tadalafil in the morning.  We spent the day skiing.  I took another at dinner.  We drank a bottle of wine.  I had no difficulty getting an erection or keeping it for as long as I wanted.  We had sex that night, once during the night and again in the morning.

My penis is on the large side but I swear I gained both length and girth, especially girth.  I suspect this is due to the use of the shockwave unit on the penis itself.  It really seems to work the penile tissue.  Several times my partner remarked at how hard my cock was and how big is was.  I don't actually think it is that big, but when a cock is fully hard it feels bigger and better for women.

An interesting thing happened... after sex my woman was laying in bed.  I got up and was standing beside the bed, flaccid.  And even in the flaccid state my cock was more engorged than it used to be.  She remarked that I should be in porn !  I kid you not.  I thought I noticed that it is more engorged after the second treatment session and her comment proves my point.  My opinion is that the increase in engorgement comes primarily from the shockwave treatments because it is there even when I am not taking Tadalafil.

Overall I am 100% happy with my purchase.  I'd do it again in a heartbeat.  I probably should have purchased one a couple years ago.

Congrats WannaBhrd
You might one to measure your penis girth in centimeters at the midpoint and length from the top to the point of the head pressing the tape on the pubic bone ( at the top of the penis shaft where it meets the body) when you have an erection. This will give you a method of tracking increases in size as your treatment progresses.

Do you see improvements in turgidity=hardness and elevation without the use of Cialis?

You might want to consider this article :

https://www.lifeextension.com/search#q=reversing%20atherosclerosis%20naturally&t=coveob1f40832&sort=relevancy

150 mg/day of French maritime pine bark extract. The third used the combination of 150 mg/day pine bark and 450 mg/day of Centella asiatica extracts

These studies consistently show that the combination of French maritime pine bark and Centella asiatica extracts slows and may reverse the progression of atherosclerosis.
 The supplements may thin-out your blood so if you are taking blood thinners it may need to be adjusted. Consult with your Doctor, although they probably won't know anything or very little on supplements since most Doctors read studies funded by Big Pharma.

A smoothie every morning with Pommegranate syrup/concentrate (a teaspoon or 2) with frozen blueberries and other berries might be good + O.J.  (I use blueberries- black berries- strawberries frozen). Use  cup+ of Orange Juice in the blender.
Getting rid off excess weight is very important not just for E.D. but overall cardiac health & aging. Walk regularly for 40minutes at a brisk pace as often as possible. Also lifting weights or step-ups is good too if you can because it exercises your Gluteus Maximus muscles (butt muscles) which are the biggest muscles in the body and therefore help produce testosterone. Muscle buildup correlates with decrease in body fat (fat==> promotes estrogen) and muscle buildup promotes testosterone levels.

Re: I bought one and I've very happy.

Thanks !   I never would have bought a shockwave machine were it not for this forum.

I haven't done any measurements.

I'm taking L Critrulline (750mg/day) and B12 (1200 mcg/day) as they are shown to promote Nitric Oxide, which helps with keeping arteries from hardening.

I am not taking any blood thinners.  My blood pressure is OK.

The Pommegranate/blueberry drink is loaded with anti oxidants.  Vitamin C is also an excellent anti oxidant.  I take several every day.

You are absolutely right about excess weight being bad.  I've put on a lot of weight with COVID.  I can't wait to get back in the gym once it is over.  I lift heavy and I feel it helps a lot.  As does 15-20 minutes in the sauna.

Cardio exercise is great too.  I dated a triathlete and we did a lot of cycling, which was very good for my heart and erections.  Brisk walking doesn't do enough as far as I'm concerned.  I love cycling because I can easily keep my heart rate in the 130-160 range, I stay cool due to the wind it creates and it is easy on the joints.  Be sure to get a good bicycle seat or you can damage the nerves in your perineum. 

I do see improvements without Cialis.  I'm now getting morning erections when I haven't taken Cialis for days.

I'm reading about some men who can't get erections when taking Cialis or Viagram.   These drugs just produce nitric oxide to improve blood flow to/in the penis.  However if your heart can't produce enough flow, these drugs won't fix that part of things.  Cycling is a fantastic sport for improving cardio.  It's always fun to race cars or other cyclists.   Plus with stop signs, hills and traffic lights, it becomes stop and go, like sprints or intervals.  It's easy to do HIIT on a bike too.  Much nicer than running, for me, anyway.

Swimming is another good aerobic sport.

The great thing about all these things is that they improve your general health as much as your erection.  The first sign of cardio issues is ED.  For this reason, never feel bad about working on ED issues because whatever helps your ED also helps your entire cardio system, including taking Cialis daily.

FWIW, I've found many doctors are ignorant about the correlation between diabetes, ED and cardio issues.

Re: I bought one and I've very happy.

Update: my machine still works great, as does my cock.

I do 2 or 3 treatments a week.  13Hz, 2000 shots x 2-4 times  95 or 105 mJ.

My machine works perfectly.  Its loud when it is operating and the fan that cools the head is loud too.  But it works and they are probably all like that.

I've noticed much better blood flow, hardness and duration.  I've had sex a few times without any pills and things work OK.  I'm definitely harder if I take a 5mg tablet of Ciallis, but almost too hard if I do. 

I'm getting some morning erections when I sleep alone and almost always when I sleep with my partner.

I'm very happy I did this.  I don't feel like ED controls me anymore.  I feel like I have control over my ED.  I suspect the machine would be effective at treating injuries as well.

Re: I bought one and I've very happy.

Hi WannaBeHard , thanks for your posts.
I bought a similar machine (with touchscreen and with a minimum of 50mj and max 200) but i've done 2-3 treatments with 3000 pulses and i had minimal positive effects. 

Did you use the blue cover with the 1,5" head? And when you say 2000 shots x 2-4 times, you mean you do like 6000-8000 shots every treaments? for 2-3 treatments a week they are about 16000/24000 shots a week, right?

Sorry for my english.

I gotta think with 2 or 3 treatments you might not see results yet. Plus you penis needs time to repair itself after the treatment.
