Do You Treat Erectile Dysfunction? 3 Drug-Free Protocols at Rebuild Regen

Rebuild Regen Medical Clinic treats erectile dysfunction using 3 drug-free protocols that address different contributing mechanisms: vascular insufficiency, tissue-level deficiency, and hormonal root causes.

Protocol 1: Low-Intensity Shockwave Therapy (Chattanooga Intelect RPW 2)

Low-intensity shockwave therapy for ED delivers acoustic pressure waves to the penile corpus cavernosum. The mechanism is neovascularization: the growth of new blood vessels in the erectile tissue, which improves the vascular inflow required for erections.

Vasculogenic ED, where insufficient arterial inflow is the primary driver, responds to shockwave therapy by restoring capillary density and improving vascular supply to the erectile tissue. Multiple clinical trials document improvements in erection quality at 3 to 6 months after a shockwave protocol.

The Chattanooga Intelect RPW 2 at Rebuild Regen is used for a 6 to 12 session protocol (2 sessions per week for 3 to 6 weeks) with reassessment at 3 months.

Protocol 2: P-Shot (Penile PRP Injection)

The P-Shot uses platelet-rich plasma from the patient's own blood, injected into the corpus cavernosum using a local anesthetic protocol. The growth factors in PRP (VEGF, PDGF, EGF) stimulate smooth muscle tissue repair and neovascularization in the erectile tissue.

The P-Shot is appropriate for men with ED related to tissue changes, including post-prostatectomy ED with partial nerve recovery, Peyronie's disease-associated ED, and general vascular-type ED where growth factor stimulation adds to the vascular restoration achieved by shockwave.

Shockwave and P-Shot are commonly combined at Rebuild Regen as a sequential protocol: shockwave first for vascular remodeling, P-Shot to amplify the biological repair signal.

Protocol 3: Testosterone Optimization

ED driven by low testosterone responds to testosterone replacement therapy, not to vascular or tissue interventions. In men with documented hypogonadism (lab-confirmed low testosterone), restoring testosterone to the therapeutic range improves libido and erection quality through androgen receptor activity in the CNS and peripheral vascular tissue.

Labs at Rebuild Regen establish whether testosterone is a contributing factor before any hormone therapy is recommended.

How Rebuild Regen Evaluates ED Patients

The ED intake at Rebuild Regen Medical Clinic at 3320 N Federal Hwy #101, Lighthouse Point, FL distinguishes vascular, neurological, psychogenic, and hormonal contributors through a targeted clinical history and lab panel. The appropriate protocol follows the clinical assessment. Some patients benefit from all 3 protocols in combination; others need only one.

When ED Requires Evaluation Beyond Rebuild Regen's Scope

ED with severe cardiovascular disease, ED as a symptom of an undiagnosed systemic condition, and ED with significant psychological components may require evaluation by a cardiologist, urologist, or psychologist as the primary step. Rebuild Regen's intake process identifies these situations and provides appropriate direction.
