Stem cell therapy for erectile dysfunction in KL

Mesenchymal stem cells, used for erectile dysfunction on the reasoning that the problem is one of blood vessels and tissue. The reasoning is sound. The trial evidence is young, and this page would rather say so than sell you a number.

  • Emergingand this page says so plainly
  • Not first-lineand not second either
  • Assessed firstcause, then medication, then this
  • No guaranteethe trials do not support one

What the stem cell treatment actually contains

Mesenchymal stem cells are the cells the clinic already uses in its knee protocol and offers as an infusion. Used for erectile dysfunction, the reasoning is the same as it is for a joint: the dysfunction is largely a problem of blood vessels and tissue, and the hope is that the cells encourage repair of both rather than compensating for the damage the way a tablet does.

That is the reasoning. It is not a result, and the distance between the two is the whole subject of this page.

Where the evidence on stem cell therapy for ED stands

Laboratory work and early human studies are genuinely interesting, and small trials have reported improvement. What does not exist is the large, long-term trial evidence that would let anyone state how many men respond, by how much, or for how long. Regulation of these products also differs sharply between countries.

So this page makes no promise about results, and it will not give you a success rate, because any figure quoted to you for this treatment is not coming from evidence that supports it. If a clinic offers you one, that is worth knowing about the clinic.

Where it sits, honestly

There is an order to erectile dysfunction treatment, and this sits at the end of it rather than the start.

First: the cause
Diabetes, blood pressure, cholesterol, and medication that contributes. This is the only step that treats the problem rather than the symptom, and it finds things worth finding.
Second: oral medication
The best-evidenced treatment there is, and effective for most men who try it.
Third: the P-Shot
Platelet-rich plasma from your own blood. Earlier evidence than tablets, more than this.
Fourth: this
Considered where the three above have been done and are not enough, and where you have understood that the evidence is younger than for any of them.

What a course involves

Because this is an emerging treatment, the consultation carries more weight than usual: it is where the state of the evidence is set out and where the alternatives are compared honestly.

  1. Assessment

    Your history, your medication, what has already been tried, and blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol if they have not been checked recently.

  2. The conversation about evidence

    What is known, what is not, and what the better-evidenced alternatives would be. Declining after this conversation is a normal outcome.

  3. The treatment

    Given under supervision at the clinic, with observation afterwards rather than being sent off immediately.

  4. Review

    Against what you reported before, rather than against an impression. If nothing changed, that is what the review will say.

Who should not have it

The first three rule it out. The rest need settling before it is considered at all.

  • An active or recent cancer diagnosis
  • An active infection
  • Immunosuppressive treatment
  • Significant organ impairment
  • A bleeding disorder, or anticoagulant medication
  • Erectile dysfunction that has never been assessed

Bring your medication list and any recent specialist letters. Declining to give a treatment is a legitimate outcome of a consultation.

The alternatives worth comparing

This stays between you and your doctor

Your consultation
Private and non-judgmental, whatever your gender, orientation or relationship status.
Your records
Encrypted in the clinic's own system, and only you can authorise access to them. Clinic staff cannot retrieve your results without your explicit consent.
Your name
You do not have to give one to be seen. Patients who would rather test anonymously can do so.
Your doctor
Every doctor here is named on this site with their training, and one of them is a Family Medicine Specialist on the National Specialist Register. Follow-up questions and repeat prescriptions go to the doctor who saw you, directly on WhatsApp rather than through a front desk.

Come in, or ask first

Walk in any time we are open (daily, 9:00am to 8:00pm), or send a message and ask whatever you need to ask before you do.

Common questions

Does stem cell therapy cure erectile dysfunction?
No, and nobody can honestly tell you it does. Early studies are interesting; the large, long-term trials that would establish a cure rate do not exist.
What is the success rate?
We will not give you a figure. The evidence does not support one, and a clinic that quotes you a percentage for this treatment is quoting something other than evidence.
How does it differ from the P-Shot?
The P-Shot injects platelet-rich plasma prepared from your own blood during the visit. This introduces cells intended to support repair. The P-Shot has the longer record of the two, and oral medication has a longer record than either.
Should I try this first?
No. Treating the cause comes first, then oral medication, then the P-Shot. This is considered where those have been done and are not enough.
Who should not have it?
An active or recent cancer diagnosis, an active infection, or immunosuppressive treatment rule it out. Significant organ impairment, a bleeding disorder or anticoagulant medication need assessing first.
What does it cost?
Quoted at the consultation rather than from a list. Ask on WhatsApp for the current figure before you come in.

Ask before you commit, Kepong, any day until 8pm
