Why GAINSWave® Might Be Your Answer If You Have ED

Erectile dysfunction (ED) affects about 30 million men across the country. If you’re part of that group, you’ll be glad to know you have treatment options.

More good news: Those treatments extend beyond pills. While ED medication works, it eliminates some of the spontaneity from your sex life. 

With expertise in sexual health, Robert Grafton, MD, and our team offer a number of treatments for erectile dysfunction as alternatives to the blue pill. Here at PSI Medical Group in Wixom, Michigan, we can help you pinpoint the right one for you. 

For many men, that’s a leading-edge, noninvasive option called GAINSWave®. Today, we want to introduce you to this potential answer to your ED. 

How GAINSWave works

GAINSWave addresses the root cause of erectile dysfunction: poor blood flow. Before ED, when you felt aroused, your body sent blood to your penis to make it erect. With ED in play, poor circulation is often at the heart of the issue. 

GAINSWave is an FDA-approved type of shockwave therapy. Don’t let that name scare you. The treatment doesn’t mean sending any type of electric shock into your penile tissue. Instead, it uses low-intensity sound waves. 

As the sound waves flow into your tissue, they help to treat ED in a few different ways. GAINSWave can:

• Improve circulation
• Encourage the release of growth factors, helping your body create new blood vessels
• Break down microplaque that hinders blood flow

Together, the changes that GAINSWave stimulates support your ability to get and maintain an erection. This treatment can improve sensitivity and make it easier to orgasm, too. 

What to expect with GAINSWave

Dr. Grafton tailors a GAINSWave treatment program to you. For most men, that means somewhere between six and 12 sessions. 

GAINSWave doesn't require any incisions or injections. To keep you comfortable, we first apply a numbing cream. 

Once that takes effect, the actual treatment usually takes 15–30 minutes. Most patients say any discomfort during treatment is minimal and tolerable. 

You might have a little bruising or redness, but it should fade quickly. There’s no downtime with GAINSWave. You can get treatment and continue on with your day. 

Most men begin to notice results within a few weeks as the changes the treatment stimulates take effect. As time passes and you complete more treatment sessions, your results should improve.  

GAINSWave is just one option for treating ED. Here at our office, Dr. Grafton offers other leading-edge treatments, including platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy. He can help you find the right option for your body and your sexual wellness goals.
