Transcripts

Speaker:

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:

Speaker:
