Abstract

In a method of treating erectile dysfunction in a patient, a predetermined course of external counter-pulsation treatment is applied to a lower body portion of the patient. After the predetermined course of external counter-pulsation treatment is applied, a predetermined course of low intensity shockwave treatment is applied to a penile area of the patient. After the course of low intensity shockwave treatment, a predetermined course of carboxy therapy is applied to a corpora cavernosa of the patient.

Abstract

In a method of treating a patient having low blood flow that may be caused by diffused plaque and/or a plaque mass associated with Peyronie's disease in a penile region, a predetermined amount of carbon dioxide is injected into affected corpus cavernosum at a location that is adjacent to, but spaced away from the plaque mass. In addition, either before and/or after the injection of the carbon dioxide, a decalcifying agent(s) may be injected directly into the plaque mass.

Abstract

In a method of treating a patient having diffuse plaque and/or a plaque mass associated with Peyronie's disease in a penile region, a battery of tests is performed to quantify an initial state of parameters associated with Peyronie's disease in the patient. Low intensity shock wave therapy is applied to the plaque mass in the penile region, thereby softening the plaque mass and disrupting any calcification in the plaque mass. Carbon dioxide is injected into the plaque mass. The battery of tests is repeated to quantify a current state of parameters associated with Peyronie's disease in the patient and the current state is compared to the initial state. The aforementioned treatment steps are repeated until the current state differs from the initial state by at least a predetermined amount.
