Erectile Dysfunction (ED) Stem Cell Treatment

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections for Erectile Dysfunction (ED)

PRP injections have been safely used in medicine since their FDA approval in 1987. PRP is derived from a patient’s own blood, with platelets concentrated to release growth factors that stimulate natural healing. Since it’s made from the patient’s own cells, there’s no risk of allergic reactions, making PRP a safe, natural option for ED treatment.

PRP has been widely used in regenerative medicine, initially aiding in procedures like coronary bypass surgery to enhance blood vessel formation and healing. Today, PRP is commonly used in orthopaedic and plastic surgeries, aesthetic treatments for skin rejuvenation, hair restoration, and even specific applications in sexual health, such as ED.

How PRP Works for ED

PRP promotes tissue regeneration and blood vessel growth by releasing plateletderived growth factors, which help improve circulation and tissue health in the penis. Results may vary due to individual factors, but PRP therapy has shown the potential to increase penile skin sensitivity, improve erectile function, and reduce inflammatory conditions such as Peyronie’s disease. Some patients also experience enhanced penile tissue quality, potentially improving both length and girth.

Adult Stem Cell Therapy for Erectile Dysfunction

Procedure
In adult stem cell therapy for ED, Passage 1 (P1) mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are injected directly into targeted areas of the penis to encourage tissue regeneration. The protocol generally involves three injections on each side of the penis. This quick, minimally invasive procedure uses a topical anaesthetic to reduce discomfort, making it well-tolerated by most patients. Recovery is usually rapid, allowing patients to resume normal activities within a day or two.

How Stem Cells Work for ED
When injected, stem cells release signalling molecules that help repair and replace damaged cells, encouraging tissue growth and increased blood flow. This regenerative process can improve erectile function by enhancing tissue elasticity, sensitivity, and overall penile health, making stem cell therapy a promising option for ED.

Shockwave Therapy for Enhanced ED Treatment
Shockwave therapy is often used alongside PRP and stem cell treatments for ED to further enhance results. This non-invasive therapy uses low-intensity sound waves to stimulate blood flow and support tissue regeneration. By promoting new blood vessel growth in the penile tissues, shockwave therapy can enhance erectile function, improve circulation, and amplify the effects of PRP and stem cell therapies.
