Low Intensity Shockwave Treatment for Erectile Dysfunction and Cellulite at Birken Medical Aesthetics
Irwin Goldstein, MD, board-certified urologist, director of sexual medicine at Alvarado Hospital in San Diego and the director of San Diego Sexual Medicine, is a trailblazer in the field of men’s sexuality. He explained that Viagra, the ubiquitous blue pills that serve as the current treatment for ED, aren’t a panacea.
“Pills do not work for everyone, and they’re incredibly expensive,” said Dr. Goldstein. “They [interfere] with certain health conditions, and many men discontinue their use for different reasons. But most importantly, they’re temporary, and they do not change the underlying pathophysiology of the condition.”
Dr. Goldstein explained the motivation for researchers to find a safe and appropriate alternative to pill therapy. “Through shockwave therapy, we are introducing a new paradigm of ED treatment that appears effective in changing the health of the penile tissue.”
