They thus improve the vascularization of the penis, a key mechanism of erection."},{"question":"Is the treatment painful?","answer":"No. The sessions are painless and require no anesthesia. Each session lasts approximately 20 minutes, during a consultation, and you can resume your activities immediately."},{"question":"How many sessions are needed?","answer":"The protocol typically includes 6 to 12 sessions spread over several weeks. The first effects are often observed after a few sessions and continue to progress in the weeks following the end of treatment."},{"question":"For which patients are shockwave therapy effective?","answer":"This treatment is primarily intended for mild to moderate erectile dysfunction of vascular origin. It can improve the response to oral medications, or even eliminate the need for them.
