In-office Therapies for Men with Erectile Dysfunction – Summary
Jesse N. Mills, MD, discusses the effectiveness of a selection of experimental in-office therapies for erectile dysfunction treatment. Throughout his presentation, Dr. Mills explores the outlook, benefits, and challenges of experimental therapy options currently pushed by external market forces, including:
- Low-intensity Shockwave Therapy (LiSWT)
- Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
- Stem Cell Therapy
- Intracavernosal Injection (ICI)
- Hyperbaric Oxygen
Dr. Mills concludes by stressing that although these therapy options are still considered experimental, urologists should strive to observe these therapies and hold balanced conversations with patients regarding their efficacy. He encourages urologists to stay optimistic about erectile dysfunction treatment as stewards of male health, suggesting they watch for new data in the world of experimental treatments.
