Stem Cell Therapy is useful for treating erectile dysfunction. Stem cells work through a process of regeneration (self-renewal). This means they can make exact replicas of themselves indefinitely.
Stem cells also can differentiate into any cell that needs to be replaced or repaired. They structurally and functionally regenerate damaged tissues, depending on the signals or stimuli they receive. When injected into the body, stem cells can become a more specialized type of cells, such as cartilage, muscle, nerve, bone, or blood vessel.
Stem cells for erectile dysfunction focus on regeneration, which involves cell to cell communication. The cell to cell communication facilitates new growth of blood vessels, reduction of scar tissue, reducing cell death and other helpful repair functions.
Because stem cells can rebuild tissues and structures, they can rebuild penile blood vessels, regenerate damaged nerves, rejuvenate healthy nitric oxide receptors, and reverse scarring of the penile tissues. These abilities combined allow stem cell injections to treat erectile dysfunction.
