This is the era of regenerative/restorative therapy, where a man’s natural erections can be restored. PRGF (platelet derived growth factor) injections and Penile shockwave therapy (PSWT) are new and promising therapies for ED which expand the options for patients who failed/doesn’t tolerate PDE5I or self-injections before proceeding to penile prosthesis surgery.
PRGF INJECTIONS (aka P-shot or Prius shot), is prepared from patient’s own blood and administered into the penis. It is a simple outpatient procedure. It acts by regenerating the damaged endothelium, increasing angiogenesis and thus restoring one’s natural erections. The success rate ranges between 50-70% depending on the severity of ED.
