A New Frontier: Ultrasound-Guided Sclerotherapy for Erectile Dysfunction

Our students’ research explored the potential of ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy—a technique traditionally used in vein and lymphatic treatment—as a new solution for patients with erectile dysfunction. By using sclerotherapy to target problematic vascular areas, the team aimed to open up new possibilities in the treatment of ED. Their project showcased their deep understanding of vascular medicine, as well as their commitment to improving quality of life for patients.
