Conditions We Treat
Our Male Pelvic Health service in Woodley supports men experiencing:
- Peyronie’s disease
- Erectile dysfunction
- Chronic pelvic pain syndrome
- Hard flaccid syndrome
Each condition requires careful assessment. Not all cases are suitable for shockwave therapy, and we will always explain your options honestly.
Peyronie’s Disease Treatment
Peyronie’s disease involves scar tissue formation within the penis, which can cause curvature, pain and erectile dysfunction.
It is important to set clear expectations. Focused shockwave therapy does not dissolve scar tissue and may not correct curvature. However, it can reduce pain and improve erectile function in certain cases.
Where appropriate, treatment is combined with tailored advice and rehabilitation strategies.
Erectile Dysfunction Treatment in Reading
Erectile dysfunction affects men of all ages. It may be vascular, neurological, hormonal, psychological or post-surgical in origin.
Common Causes
- Reduced blood flow linked to ageing, diabetes or hypertension
- Post-prostate surgery changes
- Medication side effects
- Hormonal imbalance
Psychological factors
Our Approach
For men with vascular erectile dysfunction, we use focused shockwave therapy delivered via a Storz Medical device. This is the only form of shockwave therapy with strong clinical evidence for vascular ED.
Focused shockwave therapy works by:
- Stimulating angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels
- Improving blood vessel function
- Supporting tissue health within the corpus cavernosum
Positive outcomes
We see positive outcomes in suitable candidates, including men following prostatectomy. However, shockwave therapy is not effective for all types of erectile dysfunction. During your assessment, we will determine whether the treatment is appropriate for you.
Yves De Vos has extensive experience in urological shockwave therapy and has trained in partnership with Storz Medical and Venn Healthcare. He also collaborates with clinicians within ED Clinics, contributing to ongoing clinical standards and education in this field.
Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome and Hard Flaccid
We find that knowing what’s coming helps take the edge off any nerves and helps you feel prepared.
Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome
Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome can present with:
- Pelvic or perineal pain
- Urinary symptoms
- Pain during or after ejaculation
- Fluctuating discomfort
Hard Flaccid Syndrome
Hard flaccid syndrome may involve persistent penile firmness in the flaccid state, discomfort or altered sensation.
These conditions are often multifactorial and may involve:
- Pelvic floor muscle tension
- Musculoskeletal dysfunction
- Nerve irritation
- Stress-related factors
Treatment may include:
- Focused shockwave therapy where clinically indicated
- Pelvic floor rehabilitation
- Manual therapy
- Structured exercise prescription
- Education to reduce fear and symptom escalation
We take time to identify contributing factors rather than treating symptoms in isolation.
