Shockwave Therapy with Corporal Fibrosis

[Breakthrough]

I haven’t read too many positive testimonies about shockwave for people with severe ED. Moreover, I have heard of people attributing further damage to the shockwave treatment. Just to consolidate opinions, I’d like to hear about the people who have corporal fibrosis and have attempted shockwave. Was it harmful?

Could it have been made better if in combination with something anti inflammatory like PRP, stem cell, or hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

So, I had a degree of corporal fibrosis after a period of injecting Trimix for severe and total ED caused by my radical prostatectomy in 2022. Confirmed by my uro surgeon who did both the prostatectomy and my implant procedure. Eventually I gave up on the injections as they no longer worked due to the build up of scar tissue. Various pills didn't work either. So I opted to try focal shockwave therapy with a well regarded practitioner, who is a great believer in that technology. However for me it didn't work at all, complete waste of time and money. I had floated the idea beforehand with my uro. He was very sceptical about it and said that a manufacturer had previously shown him the equipment. But he was not convinced that it would work, nor could they provide any clinical evidence of successful outcomes. I can't say that it was harmful, or caused further damage, but I think it would be difficult for a patient to make that assessment. After that failure I relied solely on the use of a VED up until my implant operation. Surgeon told me afterwards that he had to clean up some fibrosis/scar tissue during the procedure.

I can't comment on the other therapies as I have never had them or researched them. I'm not sure if all are commonly available in Australia for ED, although it's likely someone is doing them. I have a female friend who did have stem cell treatment for a knee issue some years ago.
