The penis achieves erection by forming an angle of approximately 90 degrees. Any deviation from this position in another direction is referred to as penile curvature (Peyronie’s disease). Penile curvature can be congenital or may develop later due to various causes.

Congenital Peyronie’s disease occurs when one of the two spongy tissues responsible for penile erection fails to develop properly, causing the penis to curve toward the underdeveloped side. Acquired penile curvature, on the other hand, is usually seen in individuals over the age of 50. Peyronie’s disease develops due to calcification between the spongy tissue that enables erection and the sheath surrounding it. It is most commonly observed in diabetic patients.

As in the treatment of erectile dysfunction (impotence) with Modus ED-SWT, shock waves stimulate the tissues and cells in the treated area, promoting the formation of new blood vessels and increasing blood flow in the spongy tissue of the penis. As a result, the factors that cause penile curvature are eliminated.

What Makes This Treatment Different from Other Methods?

The classical treatment methods for penile curvature other than ED-SWT can be divided into acute-phase Peyronie’s disease and chronic-phase Peyronie’s disease. In the acute phase, since the plaques causing the curvature have not yet fully formed, drug therapy is used. Therefore, early diagnosis during the acute phase is very important. If early diagnosis is not made and the disease progresses to the chronic phase, drug treatments become less effective. In such cases, surgical treatments may be required. However, these procedures do not always provide definitive results and carry significant risks. During surgery, damage to the penile vascular and nerve structures may lead to a complete loss of erection. To prevent the bursting of stitches after surgery, hormonal suppression therapy is applied to inhibit erections.

In the Modus ED-SWT treatment, no medication or surgical intervention is required. It can be used safely and effectively in all stages of the disease (acute and chronic), without the need for any medication, sedation, or tranquilizers, and within a very short time.

Since the focused shock waves affect only the targeted point on the penis, there is no damage to the penile vascular or nerve structures, unlike in surgical procedures.

Additionally, as no surgical intervention is required, unwanted complications such as suture rupture during erection in patients who have previously undergone surgery are not encountered.

What is Low-Intensity Shock Wave Therapy?

In Modus ED-SWT low-intensity shock wave therapy, shock waves applied to an anatomical region cause mechanical stress and microtrauma. This mechanical stress and microtrauma trigger a series of biological reactions that increase blood flow and stimulate the formation of new blood vessels (neovascularization). As a result, shock waves improve blood flow to the penis and promote new vessel formation, effectively resolving erectile dysfunction.

How is ED-SWT Applied?

ED-SWT treatment is applied directly to various parts of the penis and the penile root. For each treated area, 300 shocks per session and a total of 1,500 shocks are applied. The treatment is performed at five different points on the penis.

The treatment is performed in six-session sets. Since the treatment has no side effects, the number of sessions can be increased depending on the severity of the condition. Each session lasts approximately 20 minutes.

No medication, sedation, or anesthesia is required before the session. After the session, the patient can immediately return to their normal daily activities.

Side Effects

There is no need for sedation, tranquilizers, or any preparation before the treatment. During or after the procedure, there is absolutely no pain, soreness, swelling, bruising, burning, or irritation — there are no side effects.
