TLDR The effectiveness of platelet-rich plasma for erectile dysfunction is still unclear.
This review examines the current research on using intracavernosal platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for treating erectile dysfunction (ED). Despite the interest in PRP as a restorative therapy, the review highlights that its efficacy remains uncertain due to significant variability in study protocols across the 4 identified randomized clinical trials. These trials differ in PRP collection methods, dosing, and follow-up procedures. While PRP is considered safe, more standardized and robust research is needed to determine its effectiveness in managing ED.
