Resounding New Impotence Treatment

Here's something new to think about. Some Israeli researches seem to be having success treating some men with erectile dysfunction by blasting them with sound waves:

The treatment, on trial in Israel, uses a mild form of lithotripsy, a technique to treat kidney stones. Waves of sound are beamed through the skin, and although they pass harmlessly through body tissue, they are at just the right pressure to smash up kidney stones into tiny sand-like particles that are then passed out of the body in urine. Several studies show that this form of shock-wave therapy has a beneficial effect on blood vessels.
There can be many physical and psychological causes for erectile dysfunction. Viagra, Levitra, and Cialis don't cure the physical causes, though in some cases they can help resolve psychological issues of confidence.

Treatments like the one described in the article aim to fix the underlying physical causes of some men's erectile dysfunction. This is a more sophisticated approach than the one-pill-fits-all way it is now being treated. We should look forward to more advances like this as the many causes of erectile dysfunction are better understood and doctors devise treatments for each specific cause.
