How Low-Intensity Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (Li-ESWT) is performed
Low-intensity extracorporeal shock wave therapy aims to improve tissue microcirculation by applying low-energy sound waves to the penile region. A common practice is to apply gel to the skin in the outpatient clinic, then deliver pulses at predetermined points, without incisions or anesthesia. Each session is short, and can be repeated multiple times according to the plan. After treatment, observe discomfort and skin reactions, and provide guidance on home care and follow-up arrangements. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details depend on specialist assessment and the hospital's protocol.
