Scientists have investigated stem cell therapy for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED), but few studies have focused on human subjects. A recent review paper in Sexual Medicine Reviews discusses human trials and stresses the need for more research. Stem cell therapy, along with shockwave therapy and injectable platelet-rich plasma, is a restorative approach. Its […]
ED Doesn’t Improve With Pentoxifylline Combination Therapy, Study Finds
Taking pentoxifylline in combination with sildenafil does not appear to improve erectile dysfunction (ED) symptoms, according to new research in Sexual Medicine. Pentoxifylline is a “nonspecific” phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor used to treat occlusive arterial disease, a condition that narrows blood vessels and impairs blood flow. Because ED can be linked to poor blood […]
Study Examines High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein Levels in Men with ED
Men with vasculogenic erectile dysfunction (ED) have greater levels of serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) than men with non-vasculogenic ED, and this might affect their response to tadalafil treatment, researchers report in the Journal of Sexual Medicine. However, “the predictive accuracy of hs-CRP for this purpose is only modest and not independent of underlying risk […]

Men who are physically active are less likely to develop erectile dysfunction (ED), but until now, experts weren’t sure to what extent physical function, such as gait, played a role. Gait refers to the way […]
