Pfract

Hey guys;

While i was searching online for some information, i came across a paper from a very reputable Dr. in Canada. Whilst reading it, i was surprised to find PRP being mentioned there. Nonetheless, i sort of never trusted the efficacy of those injections and always found them to be snake oil. Cause no harm, but have no benefit. This Dr. feels the same way apparently.

QuoteIn contrast, currently, many patients now come to our first consultation visit with detailed information about their presumed diagnosis and often an exhaustive list of research related to treatment options. Patients often fail to be able to differentiate the real sites from the "fake" ones and real treatments from snake oil. As a urologist focusing on sexual function, my area of research and clinical activity is particularly at risk for snake oil and treatment claims of success that have no supporting medical evidence. In the U.S. and in selected Canadian sites, use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for erectile dysfunction has become a common practice, with outlandish claims of success despite zero studies in erectile dysfunction having been performed.

I doubt it will stop men from wasting their time on this, but I hope it raises some awareness.
