LOD therapy in urology is a safe and painless method for the treatment of sexual dysfunction and impotence in men. During the procedure, local negative pressure (LOP) is applied to the penis to increase blood flow and improve erection.
This method of therapy is carried out by urologists of the "K+31" multidisciplinary clinic in Moscow. The course of treatment in the department of urology allows a man to restore sexual abilities and self-confidence.
How LOD Therapy Works
For a stable and full-fledged erection, a rapid flow of a large amount of blood to the penis during arousal is necessary. If the mechanism works correctly, the man does not experience problems in intimate life. With any circulatory disorders in the pelvic area, this process is disrupted, so erectile dysfunction (impotence) of varying severity occurs.
LOD therapy, also called phallodecompression, restores the mechanism of normal erection. Gradually increasing negative pressure contributes to the expansion and increased blood supply to the vessels, as a result of which the penis expands, straightens and hardens. During the procedure, a man needs to represent the natural process of arousal in order to form the correct relationship between sexual desire and erection.
The main advantages of LOD-therapy in urology:
- is clinically proven;
- suitable for men of all ages (from 18 years old) with various causes of erectile dysfunction;
- does not cause pain;
- does not require special training and rehabilitation;
- combined with other hardware and drug treatments for impotence.
The use of LOD therapy is well studied and widely reported in scientific medical literature. There are more than 200 publications that describe the therapeutic effects and various nuances of the procedure, so a man has no reason to be afraid of this method or doubt its effectiveness.
Indications for the procedure
The main disease in which phallodecompression is recommended is erectile dysfunction. Treatment is more often prescribed for the organic nature of the disease, when there are changes in the vessels of the small pelvis and penis. Applying local negative pressure is effective:
- with initial atherosclerotic changes in the pelvic arteries;
- diabetic angiopathy and neuropathy;
- chronic prostatitis and other inflammatory diseases of the pelvic organs (outside the period of exacerbation);
- neurological diseases;
- natural age-related changes that reduce the quality and durability of an erection.
LOD therapy also helps with the psycho-emotional causes of impotence, the constant fear of failure that prevents a man from enjoying intimacy.
Since increased blood flow is important not only for maintaining a stable erection, but also for the proper functioning of the male genital organs, indications for treatment can be expanded. Urologists often recommend LOD therapy for premature ejaculation, priapism, Peyronie's disease, penile deformity.
