Erectile dysfunction (ED) affects 30 million men in the United States, according to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases.
ED refers to the inability to achieve or maintain an erection firm enough to have satisfactory sexual intercourse. It has psychological and physical causes, and it can impact your relationships and your self-esteem. However, it is treatable.
Understanding Erectile Dysfunction Treatment Options
Treating erectile dysfunction requires first uncovering the cause of the problem and treating that. Traditionally, treatment has relied on medications that increase blood flow to the penis, as well as vacuum constriction devices (penis pumps) and even penile implants.
Although they can be effective, all these options only address the symptoms of erectile dysfunction without actually treating the problem. To be able to get and maintain an erection, you constantly rely on medications and devices, removing the spontaneity from a sexual encounter.
Why Regenerative Medicine Can Help
Regenerative medicine provides options that address the cause of ED. If low testosterone is the problem, bioidentical hormone therapy is an excellent choice. It utilizes pellets that slowly release testosterone when you need it.
Another important option regenerative medicine provides is the use of exosomes for managing low testosterone. Exosomes are extracellular vesicles that come from mesenchymal stem cells. These promote tissue regeneration, the formation of new blood vessels, and the reduction of inflammation.
By enhancing the function of penile tissues and blood vessels, regenerative medicine offers the chance to target one of the main issues of ED — reduced blood flow to the penis.
