A large amount of Grade A Scientific Evidence shows that Platelet Rich Plasma injection into the penis leads to dramatic and permanent improvements in sexual function, including enhancing size, girth, sensitivity, erectile function and even ejaculation control! This therapy can also be used to treat diseases of the penis such as erectile dysfunction, Pyronine’s disease, and Lichen planus. Birth tissue allograft products can also be used in combination with or to replace PRP.
PRP
PRP stands for Platelet Rich Plasma. Platelets are powerful particles in the blood that normally concentrate at an area of injury and set off a signaling cascade that tells the body to heal or rejuvenate a damaged area. You can see this in action in a cut on your arm when straw colored fluid (plasma) concentrates along the edges of the healing cut. That fluid contains particles that are ‘telling’ the body that there is an injury there and that reconstruction is needed. The body then draws healing nutrients and cells to the area so that healthy new tissue can be formed. Some of the powerful signaling molecules that platelets make include:Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF): – Responsible for cell growth and divisionVascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF): – Responsible for creation of new blood vessels and capillariesTransforming Growth Factor (TGF) – Controls cell growth and cell differentiationEpidermal Growth Factor (EGF): – Also has a role in cell growth and differentiationConnective Tissue Growth Factor (CGTF).
Platelet rich plasma is made from a fresh sample of your own blood. The sample is specially prepared to separate out, concentrate and then stimulate the platelets, which then are injected.
Allogeneic Allograft
An allogeneic allograft is regenerative tissue donated from another individual that is applied to diseased or chronically injured tissues in the recipient.
Our allograft tissue is harvested from live healthy umbilical cord tissue that was donated following Cesarean section during normal birth in the hospital setting, this material was traditionally discarded. Modern technology allows us to carefully screen donors, and then process this material to create allogeneic allograft, according to our tissue bank, accredited by The American Association of Tissue Banks, and our FDA registered laboratory.
The FDA, under its regulation CFR 361, allows the use of donated human tissue in medicine, if the tissue is minimally manipulated and for homologous use. Our tissue meets guidelines for FDA exemption under CFR 361, since the umbilical cord is designated as a structural support tissue, and it is minimally manipulated, that is, it is simply concentrated and cryopreserved tissue.
The allograft tissue is specially prepared by our FDA approved and registered laboratories and can then be injected into the penis.
As our practice of medicine is based on the principles of Integrative and Holistic Medicine, we believe Regenerative Therapy for Sexual Health works best in combination with hormone balancing and a modest amount of physical therapy done at home.
