Interventions

DEVICE

Low-intensity Shockwave Therapy

patients will receive 6 sessions, once per week of low-intensity extracorporeal shock wave with the following parameters: - 3000 SWs (energy intensity of 0.09 mJ/mm2) to each of five different sites: three along the penile shaft and two at the crural level plus Sildenafil 25mg of daily dose and 50mg on-demand dose one hour before intercourse for 6 weeks.

OTHER

Kegel Exercises

* The patient was asked to perform short (1 second) and long-lasting (6-10 seconds) contractions of the target muscles. Later, the exercises will do with the patient sitting or standing. * Patient asked to repeat the contractions daily. Each patient performed 15 short and 15 long-lasting contractions in a prone, sitting, or standing position. Patients asked to do 30 contractions in the morning 30 contractions in the evening
