Regenerative Andrology: What Are ESWT and PRP?
Regenerative andrology covers non-surgical methods that aim to support tissue renewal. ESWT and PRP are the leading ones.
Regenerative medicine aims to support the body's own repair mechanisms. In andrology, this approach is considered as a non-surgical option, especially in mild-to-moderate, vascular-origin erectile dysfunction.
ESWT (Low-Intensity Shockwave)
It aims to support tissue renewal and blood supply with sound waves applied to the target area. It is non-surgical, usually requires no anaesthesia and is applied in sessions.
P-Shot (PRP)
It is the application of platelet-rich plasma (PRP), rich in growth factors and obtained from the person's own blood, to the target area. Because it is prepared from the person's own blood, it is considered in cases where a regenerative approach is suitable.
Who is it for?
These methods are not suitable for every patient. Suitability is determined by the physician, evaluating the person's situation, the cause of erectile dysfunction and expectations. Results may vary from person to person.
