ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a disorder that affects the quality of life and the sexual relations of more than half of the male population aged over 40 years. This condition affects a man’s ability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for sexual intercourse. It is also commonly known as impotence.
Erectile dysfunction can have a significant impact on a man’s quality of life and self-esteem, and can also be a sign of underlying medical conditions.
Erectile dysfunction can be caused by a variety of factors, including physical and psychological factors. Physical causes of erectile dysfunction include conditions that affect blood flow to the penis, such as cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and obesity.
In recent years, autologous stem cell treatments in particular have been hailed for the treatment of ED as stem cells can differentiate to endothelial, neuronal, or smooth muscle cells and therefore restore possible structural damage in the penile tissue.
Reports from recent clinical trials (including several published studies by the US National Institute of Health) conclude that most participants reported various levels of improvement in ED after the (Autologous) Stem Cell and/or PRP treatment. Overall, it is thoroughly reassuring that both clinical trials and our own patient data have reported extremely positive effects using Regenerative Medicine for ED.
Both stem cell therapy and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy have shown clinical evidence on the effectiveness of these therapies, and they aim to address the underlying causes of ED rather than simply treating the symptoms.
Stem cell therapy involves using stem cells, which have the potential to develop into different types of cells in the body, to regenerate damaged tissue and improve blood flow to the penis.
PRP therapy involves using a concentrated solution of platelets, which are cells in the blood that help with healing and tissue repair, to stimulate tissue growth and improve blood flow.
Both state-of-the-art procedures hold potential as long-term solutions to ED, as they aim to restore the natural function of the penis rather than simply treating the symptoms.
Stem cell and PRP treatments are conducted on an outpatient basis, with zero downtime and no negative adverse events or rejection issues.

More about how stem cell treatments work
- Promoting tissue regeneration: Stem cells have the ability to develop into different types of cells in the body, including spine discs, muscle, bone, and cartilage cells. By injecting stem cells into the damaged area, they can help promote tissue regeneration and repair damaged tissues.
- Reducing inflammation: Chronic inflammation in the area contributes to pain and may require surgical intervention. Stem cells have been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties, which can help reduce inflammation and alleviate pain.
- Stimulating natural healing: Stem cells can stimulate the body’s natural healing process by releasing growth factors and other proteins that help repair damaged tissues.
- Minimally invasive procedure: Stem cell treatments are typically performed on an outpatient basis and involve a minimally invasive injection procedure. This means less downtime and a quicker recovery period compared to traditional back surgery.
- Customizable treatment: Stem cell treatments can be customized to each patient’s individual needs and can target specific areas, making them a more precise and targeted treatment option.
It is important to note that not all cases of tendon, ligament, cartilage pain and lesions can be treated with stem cell treatments and that each case is unique. It is important to consult with us to determine if stem cell treatment is a viable option for your specific case.

How does it work?
Stem cells are special cells that have the ability to develop into different types of cells in the body, such as muscle, bone, and cartilage cells. By harvesting these cells from the patient’s own bone marrow, they can be injected into the damaged area to promote healing and tissue regeneration.
During the painless procedure, a small amount of bone marrow is typically taken from the patient’s hip bone using a needle. The bone marrow is then processed to isolate the stem cells, which are then injected into the affected area using imaging guidance to ensure accurate placement.
While it may not provide immediate pain relief, it provides long-term benefits and improves overall function and quality of life. If you are considering this treatment option, it is important to book your FREE consultation with us to determine if it is right for you.
What to expect?
Stem cell treatment using bone marrow is a minimally invasive procedure that is typically performed on an outpatient basis. The procedure itself can take up to an hour and the patients can go home after the procedure.
After the procedure, patients may experience some soreness or discomfort at the site of the bone marrow extraction, but this typically subsides within a few days. Pain relief may not be immediate, as it can take several weeks for the stem cells to start promoting healing and tissue regeneration.
It is important to follow any post-procedure instructions provided by your healthcare provider, including any physical therapy or rehabilitation exercises, to help optimize the healing process.
