Is shockwave and Prp working??

One of the newer treatments for ED, Shock Wave Therapy is still in it's experimental stages. While the treatment often sounds promising, it is only effective for a few patients and the results are not permanent. Informed Consumers are the best patients!

Is shockwave and Prp working??

Postby Ykapoor741 » Sat Nov 29, 2025 3:06 am

I will keep it short guys

I am facing ed
I have had 4 shockwaves till date the last one on 20th november 2025 and prp on 4th november 2025

So i had taken 2 pills of tadafil one of 20mg and another of 10mg on 25th November 2025 around 9pm IST
I know its too much guys

But its been more than 90hrs and i am getting erections very good ones
My question is is it tadalafil working or shockwaves and prp started showing effect???

The tadalafil has a half-life of about 18 hours. It's generally considered effective for 36 hours, so I doubt that the result you're seeing is from the tadalafil. You'll get responses here that denigrate any possibility that shockwave is working, but my opinion is "maybe".

Did you get real focused shockwave? If so, there are qualified researchers who think it might have helped, especially if you started with mild to moderate ED. If it was radial shockwave, something like Gainswave, then you wasted your money. What was the make and model of the machine? Did the doctor apply numbing cream for the application?

I am not a shockwave expert, but I don't think 120 hours of good erections could be attributable to the shockwave treatment. The idea, as I understand it, is that the shocks damage the tissue which causes regeneration. This is not a short term process; results, if any, would be over a longer period.

Shockwave and PRP work great at lining the pockets of the providers who do the treatments. They don’t seem to be particularly effective for anything else.

If they worked there would be a ton of guys on here talking about how much they love shockwave and PRP (like the guys who use pills or shots or implants do). They’d be talking about how great their doc was (like the implant guys do). They’d be recommending specific providers or brands (the way…. I think you see the pattern here.)

But that’s not what happens.

Instead all the posts about shockwave and PRP are guys asking if it works. Hoping it works. Or they had it and MAYBE it is having an effect?? Maybe? Or they thought it had a mild effect but now they aren’t so sure.

I’m sure there will be other breakthroughs. There will be other developments in the treatment of ED. But it doesn’t look like shockwave and PRP are it.

Pills, shots, implants. That is what works so far.
