THE NEWEST AND EFFECTIVE TREATMENT FOR ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION – PRP THERAPY
PRP THERAPY HAS BEEN USED FOR A LONG TIME IN MANY FIELD OF MEDICINE. ORTHOPEDISTS USE PRP TREATMENT WITHIN JOINT DISEASES, PLASTIC SURGERIES USE IT AGAINST HAIR LOSS, FACIAL WRINKLES, CELLULITES. FOR THIS PROCEDURE, THE PATIENT’S BLOOD IS TAKEN AND THE BLOOD İS SUBJECTED TO A SEPARATION PROCESS. IN THE SEPARATION PROCESS PLATELET CELLS ARE TAKEN FROM THE PATIENT’S BLOOD. WHEREEVER THESE PLATELET CELLS ARE INJECTED INTO THE BODY, THE DAMAGE IS CORRECTED AND THAT AREA IS REJUVENATED.
PRP THERAPY IS NOW USED SUCCESFULLY FOR THE ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION THAT IS COMMONLY SEEN BY DIABETES, SMOKERS AND OBES. TREATMENT IS DONE AT LEAST FOUR SESSIONS, ONE SESSION PER DAY. SESSIONS CAN BE INTERRUPTED FOR ONE, TWO OR THREE DAYS IN THE THERAPY WHEN THE PATIENT CAN NOT COME. PRP TREATMENT HAS NO SIDE EFFECTS AND PROVIDES A PERMANENT TREATMENT. THE EFFECTIVENES OF THE TREATMENT STARTS FROM THE DAY IT IS DONE, AND THE MAXIMUM EFFECT IS GENERALLY SEEN WITHIN ONE AND TWO MONTHS. THE TREATMENT IS PERMANENT IF THE AGENT OR FACTORS THAT DAMAGED THE PATIENT ARE REMOVED.
SHOCK WAVE THERAPY (LSWT) IS AN OLDER TREATMENT FOR ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION. IT CAN BE APPLIED TO THE PATIENT AFTER PRP TREATMENT. OR BOTH PRP THERAPY AND LSWT CAN BE STARTED ON THE SAME DAY. BUT IN GENERAL, PRP TREATMENT IS SUFFICIENT AT PATIENTS WITH ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION.
PRP THERAPY IS CURRENTLY THE NEWEST AND BEST TREATMENT FOR PATIENTS WHO DO NOT WANT TO TAKE MEDICATION OR CANNOT USE IT DUE TO THE SIDE EFFECTS OF MEDICATION.
