Many men suffer from erectile dysfunction (ED). Having experienced unstable effects from oral medications and fearing invasive surgery, they have struggled to find a safe treatment that can fundamentally improve their condition. Now, an authoritative medical textbook edited by top domestic experts in urology and andrology offers a standardized solution — Low-Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound (LIPUS). Representing microenergy medicine, LIPUS is recommended by multiple national-level andrology guidelines and consensus as a first-line, non-invasive treatment for ED.

Authoritative New Andrology Textbook Released

In May 2026, the book "Surgical Treatment of Erectile Dysfunction (2nd Edition)" was officially published by Peking University Medical Press. It is jointly edited by Academician Guo Yinglu of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Professor Xin Zhongcheng from the Department of Urology at Tianjin Medical University Second Hospital, and Professor Lu Futai from the University of California, San Francisco. This book consolidates years of clinical practice and research achievements by many experts in domestic urology and andrology. Building on the first edition, it offers a comprehensive update on cutting-edge andrological diagnostic and therapeutic techniques, providing clinicians and researchers with a one-stop academic reference covering theory, mechanisms, and standardized procedures.

The book highlights Low-Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound (LIPUS) microenergy therapy. Due to its non-invasive safety profile and fundamental reparative advantages, the technology is integrated into the book’s treatment protocols and explicitly listed as a first-line recommended technique for ED. It is currently one of the most widely recognized new physical therapy methods in the field of andrology.

Authoritative Andrology Guidelines and Consensus Recommendations for LIPUS as Preferred ED Treatment

1.Multiple authoritative consensuses confirm proven clinical efficacy

Multiple domestic clinical studies have validated the definite effect of Low-Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound (LIPUS) in treating erectile dysfunction (ED). It has become a new, effective, standardized therapy for mild to moderate ED patients. Since 2020, top domestic andrology associations have successively released guidelines and consensus documents that uniformly recognize and recommend LIPUS for clinical ED diagnosis and treatment:Chinese Medical Doctors Association Andrology Physician Subcommittee "Expert Consensus on Diagnosis and Treatment of Erectile Dysfunction" (2020 Edition)Chinese Medical Association Andrology Branch "Guidelines for Diagnosis and Treatment of Andrological Diseases" (2022 Edition)China International Medical Exchange and Cooperation Promotion Association Urogenital Branch "Chinese Expert Consensus on Low-Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound (LIPUS) Treatment for Erectile Dysfunction" (2024 Edition)Chinese Sexology Association Energy Medicine and Andrology Equipment Branch "Chinese Expert Consensus on Low-Intensity Extracorporeal Shockwave/Pulsed Ultrasound Therapy for Erectile Dysfunction" (2024 Edition)

2.Non-invasive microenergy therapy with superior clinical safety

LIPUS leverages mild microenergy to repair damaged tissue and restore organ physiological function. Large-scale clinical data support its safety and stability. Compared to traditional ED therapies such as oral medications and surgery, this technology carries a lower risk of adverse reactions. As a non-invasive physical therapy, it balances definite efficacy with a high safety profile.

3.Stratified standardized treatment schemes suit ED patients of all severities

Based on domestic multi-center clinical research, frontline treatment experience, and expert consensus, standardized treatment plans have been formulated for different ED severity levels:

Mild to moderate ED patients: Prioritize non-invasive LIPUS therapy, avoiding surgery, catheterization, or oral drugs. The treatment is gentle and imposes no bodily burden, serving as a first-choice option.

Severe ED patients: Recommend combined treatment of LIPUS with PDE5 inhibitors. The complementary therapeutic mechanisms significantly improve outcomes in cases where medication alone is insufficient.

Triple Repair Mechanisms

Reversing Erectile Dysfunction at Its Root Cause

LIPUS acts on clear therapeutic targets and does not merely relieve symptoms temporarily. It comprehensively repairs erectile physiological structures to achieve long-lasting improvement:

Repair of corpus cavernosum nerve conduction: Activates Schwann cells, promotes regeneration of damaged corpus cavernosum nerves, reconstructs erectile signal pathways, and specifically improves neurogenic ED.

Remodeling vascular physiological function: Repairs vascular endothelium and corpus cavernosum smooth muscle, protects mitochondria, reduces oxidative stress and tissue fibrosis, restores vascular dilation elasticity, and ensures penile blood filling and supply.

Activation of endogenous self-repair potential: Awakens internal endogenous stem cells, promotes stem cell proliferation and secretion of reparative factors, mobilizing tissue’s own repair capability to sustain erectile function.

Original Abstract Summary

From the broad development prospects of microenergy medicine to real clinical applications of LIPUS in ED treatment, "Surgical Treatment of Erectile Dysfunction (2nd Edition)" elaborates a complete and rigorous LIPUS theoretical system. The book analyzes the underlying mechanisms in detail, compiles extensive multi-center clinical study results, and clearly standardizes clinical operation procedures. As an authoritative andrology professional reference, it helps healthcare providers implement standardized and professional treatment, and offers patients suffering long-term ED a non-invasive, safe, and efficacious new therapeutic direction.

Medical technology’s fundamental purpose lies in alleviating patient suffering. Many people endure years of ED without finding a secure and reliable improvement method. The LIPUS technology, comprehensively collected and scientifically validated in this authoritative textbook, offers strong professional support and brings real hope for rehabilitation.

The described low-intensity pulsed ultrasound treatment device is a Class II medical device. Please read the product manual fully before use or follow professional medical guidance for standardized operation. Precautions, contraindications, and risks are detailed in the product manual. Reference materials include "Surgical Treatment of Erectile Dysfunction (2nd Edition)" and publicly available clinical research literature.

WBL LIPUS Low-Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound ED Treatment Platform

The WBL LIPUS low-intensity pulsed ultrasound therapeutic device has core technologies validated by multiple clinical studies. Its product design has won the international IDEA Award, and device content has been featured on CCTV12's "Science and Innovation China" program. The device uses low-energy pulsed ultrasound at 50-350 mW/cm², gently applied to the penile corpus cavernosum region. It activates the body’s own endogenous stem cells, improves local microcirculation, promotes vascular and nerve repair and regeneration, repairs damaged vascular endothelium and nerve stroma, and from a cellular level assists function restoration of corpus cavernosum tissue, aiding in alleviating erectile dysfunction symptoms.

As a non-invasive physical therapy device, it differs from common clinical interventions such as oral drugs, local injections, or surgical implants. It utilizes an external physical therapeutic approach, requires no medication or invasive procedure, avoids side effects from drug intake, and prevents risks associated with invasive treatments, providing a gentle alternative therapy option for those in need.

Three Major Advantages

1.Non-invasive, Safe, and Painless

No surgery or injections needed, treatment is conducted externally, avoiding traditional surgical risks and pain.

2.Promotes Tissue Repair and Regeneration

Ultrasound stimulates angiogenesis, improves local blood circulation, and promotes nerve function recovery.

3.Remarkable, Durable Efficacy

Clinical research shows that after multiple treatment sessions, patients’ erectile function scores improve significantly with sustained and stable outcomes.
