Treating Peyronie's Disease With Sound Wave Therapy
Jul 11, 2024
A curved, painful penis and erection problems — hallmarks of Peyronie’s disease (PD) — can impact your well-being and intimate life. Thankfully, an effective treatment plan can alleviate your symptoms in the long term. For many people, that plan involves sound wave therapy, also known as acoustic wave therapy.
Our experts at Kane Health, serving the Silicon Valley, Redwood City, and the San Francisco Bay area of California, are pleased to offer this innovative therapy as part of our Peyronie’s Treatment Program.
Also known as penile curvature, Peyronie’s disease involves two stages.
During the first, or “acute,” stage, which lasts up to 18 months, plaque forms on your penis. The plaque, along with related inflammation, causes an increasingly curved shape. You might notice pain during or in between erections, too.
The second, or “chronic,” phase begins after plaque formation and may last indefinitely or until you receive treatment. The plaque and curve may stop worsening, and your pain may decrease. Meanwhile, erectile dysfunction (ED) is common, so you may struggle to achieve or maintain erections.
Traditional Peyronie’s disease treatment often involves oral or injected medications, surgery, mechanical devices, or radiation therapy.
At Kane Health, we take a holistic and personalized approach to treating PD. Depending on the specifics of your symptoms and overall health, we may recommend sound wave therapy.
Acoustic wave therapy stimulates the arteries linked with nerve tissue in the penis along with chemical responses in the body using high-frequency sound waves. Gentle and noninvasive sound wave therapy takes less than a typical lunch hour. We implement the sound waves using a handheld device applied to the treatment area.
While individual results vary, sound wave therapy can make way for greater penile sensitivity and stronger and longer-lasting erections, with results that last for up to two years. The acoustic waves may also lead to less plaque buildup and reduced penile curvature.
Sound wave therapy may be an ideal choice for you if your PD symptoms haven’t responded fully to other treatments. You might also be a good candidate if you wish or need to avoid medication or surgery. For example, some people are daunted by the risks of Peyronie’s disease surgery, such as ED, infection, and penis shortening.
Our team at Kane Health helps determine your ideal PD treatment plan. Our programs often involve micro-dosed, proprietary medications along with acoustic wave therapy for accelerated healing.
