什麼是男士硬度障礙(ED)？

男士硬度障礙屬香港常見的男性健康問題之一，泛指男性在進行性行為時，陰莖硬度或勃起時間不足，以致無法完成性交。硬度障礙是因陰莖未能完全充血所致，並不代表患者在性慾或射精等方面出現問題。

根據港大最近一項研究調查顯示，香港約有68%男性受硬度障礙問題困擾，而大部分患者的年齡在40歲或以上。然而，壓力、焦慮、疲勞和喝酒等因素都會誘發病情發生。因此，所有年齡層的男性均有機會患上ED。

Many men with erectile dysfunction (ED) rely on medication to enhance their sexual performance, with Viagra being the most well-known option. Generally, the drug takes about 30 minutes to an hour to take effect, meaning users must plan ahead before sexual activity. However, prolonged reliance on medication can lead to various side effects such as headaches, indigestion, blurred vision, and seeing a bluish tint. Over time, the body may also develop a tolerance to the drug’s effects, leading to reduced effectiveness and potential psychological dependence, creating a vicious cycle.

In addition, some individuals may avoid seeking proper treatment due to psychological stress or embarrassment. This can negatively affect their intimate relationships and may also overlook underlying health issues that ED could be signaling. Therefore, men experiencing erectile dysfunction are strongly encouraged to seek professional support to improve both their sexual health and overall well-being.

男士硬度障礙的分級

硬度障礙的嚴重程度分為五個級別，一般可透過國際扯起功能障礙指標問卷 (IIEF-5) 進行快速評估：

男士硬度障礙常見成因

Psychological Factors

情緒壓力、焦慮、抑鬱或創傷性經歷常是男性出現硬度障礙的主要原因之一。在情緒低落的情況下，大腦與性反應會出現斷連，導致在性行為時難以勃起或維持勃起。此外，與伴侶的關係緊張、溝通不足或性滿足度低也會影響性表現。

Lifestyle Habits

Smoking, heavy drinking, sedentary lifestyle, and poor sleeping quality can reduce blood circulation and testosterone levels, negatively affecting sexual function.

Medication Side Effects

Certain medications like antidepressants, antihypertensives, sedatives, and chemotherapy drugs can reduce libido and erectile response.

Vascular Factors

Chronic conditions such as hypertension, high cholesterol, and diabetes hinder vascular elasticity, limiting blood flow and erectile ability.

Hormonal Changes

Declining testosterone, due to aging, obesity, stress, or medications, can reduce sexual desire and impact sexual function.

Neurological Factors

Nerve-related conditions such as spinal injury, neuropathy, stroke, or Parkinson’s disease can disrupt the signals for erection.

Shockwave Therapy for Erectile Dysfunction

Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive, internationally recognized treatment that improves erectile function by enhancing blood circulation and stimulating nerve responses. It promotes new blood vessel formation and reduces dependency on medication

Beyond One Approach: Synergistic Treatments for ED

EECP (Enhanced External Counterpulsation)

EECP is a non-invasive cardiovascular support therapy that uses inflatable cuffs wrapped around the lower limbs (calves, thighs, and buttocks) to rhythmically apply pressure in sync with the heartbeat. This mechanism helps push blood back toward the heart, enhancing overall circulation. For men with ED, EECP improves blood flow to the corpus cavernosum, enhancing penile engorgement and erection quality. It is particularly beneficial for patients with ED caused by underlying cardiovascular conditions, as it also helps strengthen heart function and arterial health.

Zimmer Electromagnetic Stimulation

Zimmer’s electromagnetic wave technology is a non-invasive treatment that delivers high-frequency electromagnetic pulses to deeply stimulate local tissues. This process promotes blood circulation, cellular repair, and metabolic activity. Additionally, Zimmer devices harness electromagnetic energy to train the pelvic floor muscles. In just 20 minutes, the treatment induces thousands of Kegel-like contractions, effectively strengthening the pelvic floor. This leads to improved erection firmness and duration, enhancing overall sexual performance.

Pelvic Floor Therapy

(Kegel Exercises)

Pelvic floor therapy focuses on long-term physical conditioning through consistent exercise, aiming to strengthen cardiovascular health and overall vitality. It plays a fundamental role in improving erectile function in the long run. Regular pelvic floor exercises promote better blood flow, reduce body fat, regulate hormone levels, and enhance penile rigidity. When combined with other therapies, this approach delivers synergistic benefits for men with varying degrees of ED.

如在進行國際勃起性功能障礙指標問卷 (IIEF-5) 發現自己有輕度硬度障礙，而其勃起情況已影響性生活質素，便建議要接受專業評估。即使症狀輕微，但已造成心理困擾或影響到伴侶關係，也應積極尋求治療。

2. 男士硬度障礙是心理問題還是身體問題？

兩者皆有可能。心理因素如壓力、焦慮、抑鬱、伴侶關係問題是常見原因；而慢性病如糖尿病及高血壓、神經系統疾病、荷爾蒙不足、以及血管問題也會導致硬度障礙

3. Is shockwave therapy suitable for all patients with different severity levels of erectile dysfunction?

衝擊波治療主要適合輕度至中度男士硬度障礙患者，尤其適用於因血管因素導致血液流動不良的個案。

4. 衝擊波治療硬度障礙是否安全？會否有副作用？

Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that requires no anesthesia, is painless, and has no side effects or recovery time. Most patients only feel slight vibrations during the procedure, which do not affect daily activities.

5. 衝擊波治療硬度障礙會尷尬嗎？

The entire treatment is carried out in a private setting by a professional male therapist in a one-on-one format, safeguarding patient confidentiality.

6. Can sexual activity be resumed immediately after shockwave therapy?

As a non-invasive and painless treatment, shockwave therapy requires no recovery time and generally does not affect daily activities, including sexual activity. However, the therapy primarily promotes vascular repair and improves blood circulation, so immediate effects may not be seen. It is advisable to adjust expectations according to the treatment schedule for gradual improvement in erectile function.
