In women, ESWT has shown promise in treating a few specific conditions:
Female Sexual Arousal Disorder (FSAD): FSAD refers to the persistent or recurrent inability to attain or maintain sufficient sexual excitement or vaginal lubrication during sexual activity. FSWT aims to improve blood flow to the genital area, enhancing sexual arousal and lubrication.
Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD): HSDD is characterized by a lack or absence of sexual fantasies and desire for sexual activity. FSWT has been explored as a potential treatment by stimulating nerve tissue and promoting blood flow to the clitoral and vaginal areas, potentially improving sexual desire.
Postmenopausal Sexual Dysfunction: Menopause can lead to various sexual health issues in women, including vaginal dryness, pain during intercourse, and reduced sexual desire. FSWT may help by increasing blood flow, rejuvenating tissues, and improving vaginal lubrication and elasticity.
