Erectile Dysfunction Medications are a Temporary Solution<\/h3>\n

Erectile dysfunction drugs are great for helping men with ED have better erections and better sex. Unfortunately, like all drugs and medications, they eventually wear off as the body breaks them down and flushes them out.<\/p>\n

Some drugs, like Cialis<\/a> (tadalafil<\/a>), have been designed to be more resistant to being metabolized, allowing them to work for up to 36 hours. And while that\u2019s great, in the end it\u2019s still just symptomatic treatment that only temporarily relieves ED. And for men with nerve damage from diabetes\u00a0<\/a>or injury, these drugs might not be enough to cut it.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s no surprise then that scientists are interested in developing ways to treat erectile dysfunction permanently. One way to do this may be regenerative medical treatments that use stem cells to correct the underlying \u201ckinks in the hose\u201d that prevent enough blood from flowing to the penis.<\/p>\n

A Promising Erectile Dysfunction Treatment for Men with Diabetes\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In particular, one study<\/a> looked at the use of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to treat erectile dysfunction in patients with type 2 diabetes<\/a>. MSCs aren\u2019t the same as the embryonic stem cells you read about in the news, which can turn into any cell in the body. Instead, they\u2019re found mainly in bone marrow and fat and can turn into a variety of different cells that give our bodies structure, like bone, cartilage, muscle, and fat.<\/p>\n

The basic idea behind this research is that these stem cells can be injected near a damaged area of tissue and will migrate to the damage and repair it. This study was a small phase 1 clinical trial, phase 1 meaning that it was a test to see if the treatment is safe and tolerable before being tested in larger groups of patients.<\/p>\n

Researchers looked at four patients with diabetes and erectile dysfunction that hadn\u2019t otherwise responded to treatment. They took MSCs from each patient\u2019s bone marrow and injected them intracavernosally \u2026 that is, into the shaft of the patient\u2019s penis.<\/p>\n

Despite the intrusive delivery mechanism, the procedure was well-tolerated, and no significant adverse effects were reported. Patients experienced improvements in several measures of erectile function used, including the International Index of Erectile Function-15, or IIEF-15, and the Erection Hardness Score. Improvements were also experienced in measures of sexual desire, intercourse satisfaction, and overall satisfaction with treatment.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s important to note that this was the first trial of this kind of treatment for ED in humans, and it only included four patients. Unfortunately, additional research into this area is lacking, so there\u2019s a lot more work to be done to determine if this is a viable treatment for unresponsive erectile dysfunction<\/a>.<\/p>\n
