This podcast is for you, the Modern Man. I'm Dr Anne Truong,
Speaker:your host. I'm an intimate health medical doctor and best
Speaker:selling author of the book, Erectile Dysfunction Fix. I'll
Speaker:do a deep dive into sexual health and performance and how
Speaker:it affects men of all ages and backgrounds. So let's get
Speaker:started, and be sure to visit my website at
Speaker:sexualhealthformenpodcast.com for more information and
Speaker:resources from the show. See you on the inside.
Speaker:In today's episode, I'm gonna break down the P-Shot of stem
Speaker:cell treatment for your ED, and it has an 80% success rate for
Speaker:ED using your own blood. So stay tuned to the end, because I want
Speaker:to talk about one factor that predict treatment success. I'm
Speaker:Dr Anne Truong. I'm a sexual medicine specialist. I've
Speaker:treated over 7000 men with ED using this technique. Now let's
Speaker:dive into it.
Speaker:What is this platelet-rich plasma or PRP? It comes from
Speaker:your own blood. I was trained by the creator of the P-Shot, Dr.
Speaker:Charles Runels, in 2013 to do this procedure where I get your
Speaker:own blood, harvest the stem cell and put it back into your penis
Speaker:to rejuvenate it and to get it more blood flow. So this is how
Speaker:we're going to talk about it. The science behind it, platelets
Speaker:are in your blood. They are part of your red blood cells. They
Speaker:comprise about 1% of your blood, and it secretes all these growth
Speaker:factors that promote new blood vessel formation. It stimulate
Speaker:tissue regeneration and repair. The important point is that it's
Speaker:not just about platelets, it's what it release, and that it
Speaker:stimulate repair. It stimulate regeneration. So this is
Speaker:treating the root cause of ED, rather than just taking a
Speaker:medication. And when you take medication such as Cialis or
Speaker:Viagra, it's just a symptomatic treatment versus treating the
Speaker:root cause, and is using your own body cells to help heal
Speaker:yourself. And it is regenerative, so it's more
Speaker:permanent, rather than temporary, like a pill.
Speaker:Now, what is the clinical evidence? There was a gold
Speaker:standard study that was published by Poulios in 2021
Speaker:which compare PRP or your stem cells injecting into the penis
Speaker:versus the one that doesn't have any type of injection. 60 men
Speaker:have mild to moderate ED and 70% of them have politically
Speaker:meaningful improvement for at least six months. And that the
Speaker:key finding was that their erectile dysfunction score is
Speaker:measured by the IIEF. You can check out IIEFf here, in this
Speaker:link here. It improved by three points, at one month, at three
Speaker:months, and six months, and that's 80% of patients report
Speaker:positive outcome. However, there was another study with that in
Speaker:Miami in 2023 which didn't find any improvement using PRP
Speaker:compared to placebo. So why the conflicting result? Different
Speaker:patient population, different protocol. Because even though
Speaker:they use your own blood, it's different volume, different
Speaker:machine to process this, different injection. So it's not
Speaker:Apple to Apples in the study. Now, the evidence really shows
Speaker:that it does work, but it's limited data at this point, and
Speaker:we need more larger, longer term studies for it to be really
Speaker:mainstream at this point. But it does show promise.
Speaker:Now, what is this procedure? This procedure, we take 60 CC or
Speaker:60 ml, or three glasses of wine from your arm for where your
Speaker:vein is, we take out the blood as if you're going to go to the
Speaker:lab and you get your cholesterol checked. Same thing, we collect
Speaker:that, then we put it in a centrifuge, and then spins it at
Speaker:a certain speed, and then we put in a centrifuge to separate out
Speaker:the platelets, which is in your blood. It separate out from the
Speaker:red blood cells and the plasma, which is the fluid in your
Speaker:blood. And then once we separate that out, we put it in syringe,
Speaker:and then which is then put into the penis at different site. Now
Speaker:for me, I usually draw 240 CC, not a 60 CC, and I put in
Speaker:usually 20 CC of platelet-rich plasma. So it's essentially
Speaker:concentrating your platelet from a larger volume to a smaller
Speaker:volume, and is put into the penis to stimulate more blood
Speaker:flow, more repair, more regeneration. And for the
Speaker:patient experiences minimal discomfort due to numbing cream.
Speaker:And we also numb the penis as well, you can return to same day
Speaker:activity. Can even same day have sexual activity. Now I usually
Speaker:recommend that you use a penis pump right after the PRP shot,
Speaker:because it will help bring in more blood flow. It will help
Speaker:accelerate repair.
Speaker:Now, when do you start seeing the effect? Start seeing effect
Speaker:around between three months, but it can even last up to 12 to 24
Speaker:months, and you will see improvement that is firmer, more
Speaker:sustainable erection. Before you have the PRP treatment, you now
Speaker:have more response to medications such as Viagra or
Speaker:Tadalafil. It have increased sensitivity, increased
Speaker:satisfaction, and maybe a little bit about 10% increase in girth
Speaker:and length. Now this isn't using in combination with the penis
Speaker:pump. So the bottom line is, this is getting better outcome
Speaker:and is effective for mild to moderate ED. And the better you
Speaker:are in your health, the more you're gonna respond. However,
Speaker:this is not for everyone, and you have to be determined
Speaker:whether you're a good candidate or not as well.
Speaker:So what are some other complications? Some of the
Speaker:complications you may have, a little mild discomfort
Speaker:you may have, a little fibrotic plaque, maybe rare complication
Speaker:of decrease temporary sensitivity, and of course, with
Speaker:any injection infection risk. However, I've treated over 7000
Speaker:men have not had any of these complication at this point.
Speaker:Well, knock on wood now, right? So it is safe because it uses
Speaker:your blood so eliminate allergic reaction, no systemic side
Speaker:effect, and it's much safer than surgical options. So who should
Speaker:consider getting the P-Shot or the PRP? If you have mild to
Speaker:moderate than just symptomatic treatment
Speaker:at do
Speaker:than one modality at this point.
Speaker:Now you should not get or Aspirin, but if you're on
Speaker:like Coumadin, then probably not at this time. Unless I mentioned
Speaker:before the P-Shot or PRP is usually combination with shock
Speaker:wave therapy, with Botox, and then just low dose tadalafil.
Speaker:The strategy is really a comprehensive multi modality ED
Speaker:treatment plan. And typically, if you're mild you probably need
Speaker:one session. If you have severe ED, you may need three sessions
Speaker:Now, cost consideration. It's not covered by insurance, and
Speaker:unfortunately, the treatment varies by provider, by location.
Speaker:But you have to consider the investment in that. This is a
Speaker:long term solution compared to different medication costs and
Speaker:different gadgets that you use. Make sure that you both see a
Speaker:sexual medicine specialist who is experienced in using
Speaker:platelet-rich plasma protocol and uses at least 60 CCs in
Speaker:volume. Use 240 CCs to give you the maximum billions of cells of
Speaker:at least 65 billion cells that you will need for regeneration.
Speaker:And that we've been doing this since 2013 and we've treated
Speaker:over 7000 patient. And we treated from mild all the way to
Speaker:severe, because we have the shockwave therapy treatment, we
Speaker:have the Botox in the office. We also have the supplements, we
Speaker:also have the electromagnetic chair, and we also have other
Speaker:modalities, such as coaching and lifestyle changes that will work
Speaker:together to address the root cause of ED.
Speaker:Now let's summarize. It's promising, but it's limited data
Speaker:at this point. There's only one single, high quality study which
Speaker:shows benefit. We need more research and standardization,
Speaker:but we do know that it does work. And my clinical opinion,
Speaker:is a reasonable option for as
Speaker:cure. You still have to pump along with testicle massage
Speaker:and Kegel exercises as well. So for future direction, we may
Speaker:need larger clinical trials that's underway, standardized
Speaker:protocol, and then combine it with other regenerative
Speaker:therapies, such as shockwave therapy, such as electromagnetic
Speaker:therapy as well.
Speaker:So if you're considering a more of a regenerative approach, just
Speaker:look at platelet-rich plasma or PRP for ED. Contact our office
Speaker:here and see if you are a candidate. And if you have any
Speaker:questions, leave it in the comment. I read every one of
