Erectile dysfunction

High blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, chronic kidney disease, and prostate surgery are some of the physical conditions that can cause ED. Psychological issues – such as anxiety, stress, depression, and low self-esteem – can also contribute to ED.

Current treatments for ED include PDE5 inhibitors (such as Viagra), penile implants, and injections. However, all of these therapies can have significant side effects. As a result, researchers are on the hunt for alternative treatments for ED, and stem cell therapy has emerged as a promising candidate. Human umbilical cord blood stem cell therapy has positive effects on erectile dysfunction and diabetes mellitus [1].

• Mesenchymal stem cells are immune system privileged, cell rejection is not an issue and Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) matching is not necessary.
• The stem cells with the best anti-inflammatory activity, immune modulating capacity, and ability to stimulate regeneration can be screened and selected.
• Allogeneic stem cells can be administered multiple times over the course of days in uniform dosages that contain high cell counts.
• Umbilical cord tissue provides an abundant supply of mesenchymal stem cells.
• No need to collect stem cells from the patient’s hip bone or fat under anesthesia, which especially for small children and their parents, can be an unpleasant ordeal.
• No need to administer chemotherapy drugs like Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF or GCSF) to stimulate the bone marrow to produce granulocytes and stem cells and release them into the bloodstream.

Results of  the therapy always depend on a condition and individual profile. Expected improvements:

• Decreased inflammation
• Decreased pain
• Modulate abnormal immune responses
• Increase cavernous body blood flow
• Reduced medications
• Increased sexual function
