Shockwave abroad
Evidence status: EmergingShockwave Therapy for Erectile Dysfunction in Turkey
Can I have shockwave therapy for ED in Turkey?
Yes. UZ Clinic Antalya offers EdSWT after assessment. Because the clinic protocol is a course of 12 sessions with a 3-week interval, planning matters for international patients. You can send your case first, so the urologist can advise whether the treatment fits your ED type before you arrange travel.
Key fact: The 2026 EAU guideline reports a mild average improvement from low-intensity shockwave therapy and gives a weak recommendation for selected men with vasculogenic ED. (European Association of Urology, 2026; page updated )

Planning a course around travel
The protocol is 6 sessions (2 to 3 per week), a 3-week interval, then 6 more sessions. Patients from abroad usually need to plan how to complete the course. The coordinator discusses the schedule that suits your case, and the doctor decides what is clinically appropriate.
What to send before travelling
- ED history, how long you have had it and which treatments you have tried.
- Medicines and medical conditions, including diabetes, blood pressure and heart disease.
- Any penile Doppler ultrasound report or recent blood tests.
