Erectile dysfunction Sydney

Erection problems (impotence) are very common, particularly in men over 40

In the past, erectile dysfunction was commonly believed to be caused by psychological problems. It is now known that, for most men, erectile dysfunction is caused by physical problems, usually related to the blood supply of the penis. Many advances have occurred in both diagnosis and treatment of erectile issues.

As men get older, their penile tissue ages and the vessels responsible for erection become narrower and less sensitive to stimulation. This can lead to erectile dysfunction, reduced sensitivity, and limited control (premature ejaculation).

Erectile dysfunction in younger men

Younger men can also experience erectile issues due to surgery, illness, side effects of medication and other medical conditions. These issues can have a significant impact on a man’s relationship, self-esteem, and well-being and can often impede a man’s ability to partake in sexual intercourse as well as affect intimate relationships. Seeing a specialist can alleviate physical penile issues and uncover any contributing factors such as high blood pressure. Problems getting or keeping an erection can also be a sign of an underlying health condition that may need treatment and a risk factor for heart disease.

Penile platelet rich plasma therapy

Penile platelet-rich plasma therapy (PRP) offers the opportunity to treat dysfunction, erectile issues without drugs and with minimal downtime.

Penile PRP is a regenerative medicine treatment option designed to improve long term erectile function and prolonged sexual performance. Clinical data and trials for penile PRP show the potential ability of PRP to regenerate erectile tissue with the following potential benefits:

  • Stronger, firmer erections
  • Making it easier to achieve and maintain an erection
  • Increased penile length and girth during erection
  • Resolution of penile pain with erection
  • Increased sensitivity in the base of the penis
  • Better overall blood flow leading to erection
  • Increased control and sexual function

PRP for erectile dysfunction is currently considered an experimental treatment modality, however, clinical trials and current scientific data show promising results in its effectiveness as a treatment for erectile dysfunction. PRP itself has been used over many years with a solid history of effective treatment for a number of conditions, diseases, and injuries. It is a safe procedure performed in the clinic with the minimal downtime required, and no or minimal use of medications.

Penile PRP uses the patient’s own concentrated blood platelets and growth factors to trigger repair and regeneration of the penile tissue and penis blood vessels. This, in turn, enhances blood flow and nerve sensitivity helping the penis to achieve and maintain healthy erectile function. In addition, PRP also stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, which has the added benefit of rejuvenating the cosmetic appearance of penile skin.

  • Heart disease
