Technology for restoring the health of men at present is not limited only to the use of medicine or to surgery, but covers technologies of several forms that work at the level of the cells, the blood vessels, the nerves, and the muscles of the pelvic floor. Understanding how each kind of technology works, and which conditions it suits, is therefore an important starting point before choosing an approach to treatment.
This article summarises the main technologies used at PYONG MEN, together with the mechanism of working and the role of each procedure in the plan of care for the health of men.
The principle that lies behind the technology at PYONG MEN
The health of men is the result of the working together of several systems, both the vascular system, the hormones, the nervous system, and the structure of the muscles of the pelvic floor. The technology at PYONG MEN is therefore not used as a single procedure in a separated way, but as a set of clinical instruments that the doctor designs to work in support of one another, according to the cause that can be assessed in each individual.
High-Precision Focused Shockwave Therapy (f-ESWT)
Focused Shockwave is the use of focused shock waves of low energy, sending energy deep down to the spongy shaft and the pelvic floor, with the aim of:
- Stimulating the release of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF), which leads to the creation of new capillaries (Neoangiogenesis)
- Breaking down fascia at the microscopic level and restoring the lining of the wall of the blood vessels (Endothelial repair)
- Reducing the sensitivity of the nerves in cases that have an over-sensitive response (Neuromodulation)
The role of f-ESWT covers several states, from Vasculogenic ED, Peyronie’s Disease, and injury of the genital organ, through to premature ejaculation and the state of chronic pelvic pain, Chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS)
Transrectal QMR (Quantum Molecular Resonance)
Transrectal QMR is the insertion of a device through the anus, in order to send waves of a specific frequency in to stimulate the repair of the cells of the prostate gland and the deep structures of the reproductive system. This technology has a role in supporting the circulation of blood and reducing inflammation, without heat (Non-thermal), so it suits the care of the delicate tissue in the area of the pelvic floor.
Superdose Activated Purified Growth Factor
Superdose Activated Purified Growth Factor is a procedure of injecting an extract from platelets at high concentration into the spongy shaft, or directly into the area that needs restoration, with the aim of:
- Hastening the process of creating new blood vessels
- Repairing the structure of tissue that has lost its elasticity
- Reducing the state of stress from free radicals (Oxidative Stress)
- In the case of Peyronie’s or Penile Trauma, injecting at a particular point (Ultrasound-guided) in order to break down the tension of the fascia
Advanced Pelvic Neuro-Vascular Protocol
A protocol for restoring the pelvic floor that uses the electromagnetic technology Pelvic Magnetic Stimulation (PMS), in order to train the contraction of the muscles of the pelvic floor at the highest level (Supramaximal Contraction), alongside training the release of the muscles.
This programme may be supplemented with High Power Laser in order to reduce inflammation at the microscopic level. The role of the programme covers everything from managing Venous Leak in ED through to training the control of ejaculation, and helping release the muscles in cases of CPPS.
Doctor’s Selection (Western Medical Dry Needling + High Power Laser)
A procedure for a particular place that uses Western Medical Dry Needling, or the use of a medical needle according to the principles of anatomy and the musculoskeletal system, in order to reach hidden points of pain (Myofascial Trigger Points) in the muscles of the pelvic floor precisely. The aim is to help release the knots of the muscle, or to deactivate the points of pain that are held in contraction, reduce the pressure on the nerves and the blood vessels in the neighbouring area, and support the muscles in coming back to release better.
This procedure differs from traditional acupuncture, because it takes its positions from the structure of the muscles, the nerves, and the points of pain found clinically, and does not use the concept of meridian lines as its main principle. At PYONG MEN the doctor may use Western Medical Dry Needling in the area around the pelvic floor and the base of the genital organ, together with High Power Laser, in order to reduce inflammation at that particular place and support restoration after the procedure.
It suits CPPS and cases of premature ejaculation that have Pelvic Floor Hyperactivity as an accompanying factor.
Mechanical Tension Therapy (Vacuum Erection Device – VED)
Mechanical Tension Therapy is the application of mechanical pulling force (Mechanical Stretch) through a medical vacuum device, in order to create an even tension on the tissue.
This approach has a role in helping stretch and break down fascia and adjust the structure in cases of Peyronie’s Disease and Penile Trauma, and is usually used together with other procedures, so that the restoration of the structure takes place more systematically.
The design of the programme in an integrated way
These technologies do not have to be used singly, or used in the same way in every case. The doctor will design a Plan A/B/C according to the severity and the cause that can be assessed, so that each technology works in support of the others systematically.
In general, the plan of care usually takes a period of 2–3 months, which is the period in which the body has the opportunity to adjust at the level of the tissue and the cells. The choice of technology, the number of sessions, and the frequency of the procedures therefore depend on the assessment specific to the individual.
In brief
- The main technologies used at PYONG MEN cover the group that restores the blood vessels, repair at the level of the cells, the reduction of inflammation, the rebalancing of the nerves and the muscles of the pelvic floor, as well as helping adjust the structure of the tissue with mechanical pulling force
- Each technology works at a different level, both the blood vessels, the cells, the nerves, and the muscles of the pelvic floor
- The choice of which technology to use depends on the cause the doctor assesses, not on the popularity of the instrument, nor on using the same approach in every case
- The programme of care in general uses a continuity of 2–3 months, so that the tissue has time to adjust and to respond to the restoration systematically
Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
1. From what does the doctor choose the technology? The doctor will consider it from the main cause of the symptoms, such as the vascular system, the nerves, the muscles of the pelvic floor, a state of inflammation, or the structure of the tissue having changed, in order to choose the technology most suited to each case.
2. Do several technologies always have to be used together? Not necessarily. The doctor will choose the technology according to the result of the assessment. Some cases may use only a few technologies, while some cases may need an approach that covers more.
3. Within how many sessions is a result seen? The response depends on the cause, the severity, and the condition of the body of each individual. In general, the programme is designed as a period of 2–3 months, so that the body has time to adjust at the level of the tissue.
4. Is the procedure painful? The feeling depends on the kind of procedure and the sensitivity of each individual. In general it is at a level that the person receiving care can bear. The team of doctors will explain the steps and take care of you throughout the process.
5. After using this group of technologies, is medicine still needed? It depends on the cause and on what suits each case. The doctor will consider whether medicine, a procedure, or which accompanying approach should be used, so that it suits each person receiving the service.
