ESWT (Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy) is one of the modern treatment methods used for men with erectile dysfunction. Patients who have benefited from the treatment are wondering whether additional sessions are necessary and what the long-term effects are.

Shock wave therapy (ESWT) is an adjunctive treatment for erectile dysfunction. The treatment can be repeated for patients who experience benefits after the first 6 sessions. Protocols ranging from 12 to 24 sessions have been reported in the literature. However, there is no standard approach for every patient; treatment must be tailored to the individual.
