Stem cell therapy is one of the most advanced medical applications available. For this specialized procedure—which involves harvesting stem cells from the patient's own fat tissue under operating room conditions—to yield maximum efficacy, proper patient selection is critical. The question of who is eligible for SVF stem cell therapy is answered and treatment planning is carried out in light of urology and andrology guidelines.
Ideal Candidates for SVF Stem Cell Therapy
SVF injection is particularly preferred in the following patient groups:
- Severe Vascular Erectile Dysfunction: Patients with significant penile vascular blockage and damage due to diabetes, chronic cardiovascular diseases, and smoking.
- Non-Responders to Oral Medications: Patients for whom oral erectile dysfunction medications are no longer effective or who cannot use these medications due to side effects.
- Post-Prostate Cancer Surgery (Radical Prostatectomy): Patients whose erectile nerves were damaged during prostate surgery and have lost erectile function.
- Peyronie's Disease (Penile Curvature): Patients with hardened calcified plaques inside the penis seeking non-surgical treatment.
Following a comprehensive andrological evaluation, penile Doppler ultrasound, and laboratory tests, the patient's suitability for stem cell therapy is confirmed.
