Platelet-rich plasma for erectile dysfunction after prostate removal
Treatments studied
Part of Kidney & urinary, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether injections of platelet-rich plasma (a concentrate from your own blood) can improve erectile function in men who had erectile dysfunction after prostate removal surgery.
