Impotence has plagued men since the dawn of time. And it's not just some men who suffer from ED. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, ED affects roughly 30 million men in the United States.

Angus McLaren, a veteran historian of sex, has traced impotence’s biocultural history from the Greeks to the present. However, it was only in recent history that effective treatments had been discovered. 

The most popular erectile dysfunction treatment is undoubtedly Viagra, which was patented in 1996. And while the little blue pill has given many men the chance to sow their wild oats, it’s not without its side effects.

Side Effects of Viagra

When performing is inhibited, it can cause a wide array of issues.

Like all chemically manufactured drugs, taking Viagra introduces foreign substances to the body — which can cause a myriad of unwanted side effects. These potential risks can include: 

  • Warmth and redness in the face, neck or chest
  • Stuffy nose
  • Headaches
  • Stomach pain
  • Upset stomach
  • Nausea
  • Diarrhea
  • Memory issues
  • Back pain
  • Color blindness
  • Loss of hearing
  • Ringing in the ears
  • Dizziness

Viagra isn't the only choice. For those who can't take Viagra or don't want to experience the potential side effects, PRP injections offer a safe and natural alternative.

Viagra Has to be Taken on Demand

It’s also important to note that Viagra has to be taken on demand. A man must anticipate that he is going to be having sex and take the pill in advance. He can’t simply react to his desires when he wants. 

Viagra is Not Suitable for Men with Heart Conditions

Another consideration is that not all men are candidates for a viagra prescription. Taking Viagra with a heart condition can cause cardiac arrest. Additionally, there are several medications that can have life-threatening reactions when taken in combination with Viagra.

A natural treatment for ED can help men enjoy the moment safely.

Naturally Treat ED with Penile PRP Injections

Penile PRP Injections offer patients a non-surgical treatment for their ED. This natural treatment is not chemically manufactured or consumed orally. Rather, its a substance derived from the patient’s own platelet-rich plasma that’s injected back into their body. 

Due to the fact that the plasma for a patient’s treatment comes from the patient, PRP injections typically have little, to no, side effects.

Benefits of Penile PRP Injections

In 2020, early clinical results showed that “Postprocedure sexual satisfaction scores were significantly higher than preprocedure values” of male patients who had received a Penile PRP injection. 

A double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial published in May of 2022 found that “Platelet-rich Plasma (PRP) improves erectile function.” 

As this revolutionary treatment for erectile dysfunction is researched further, patients have seen the benefits include:

  • A better ability to achieve an erection 
  • Better endurance during intercourse or other sexual activities
  • A larger penis, especially during an erection
  • Increased sensation
