Medical Revolution: PRP Unveils its Potential in Urology
PRP injection triggers the body's natural repair mechanisms and enhances tissue nourishment. The material used for the treatment is entirely autologous, as the procedure is performed by injecting plasma obtained from the patient's own blood.
Urological Treatment with PRP: A Promising Approach
PRP is used to treat chronic cystitis, urethritis, ulcers, prostatitis (inflammation of the prostate), and chronic inflammatory diseases of the urinary tract.
It proves to be harmless, significantly extending the duration of the remission period, shortening the duration of a standard treatment, and accelerating mucous membrane regeneration.
The procedure using autologous plasma eliminates constant pain, tingling and burning sensations, the constant need to urinate, and mental discomfort.
After a single platelet-rich plasma treatment, the patient's quality of life is markedly improved.
Positive effects can already be observed after 1 to 2 interventions: the frequency of urination is reduced, hematuria (presence of blood in the urine) disappears, mucosal ulcers are reduced, and there is a clear tendency for ulcer healing.
For example, the effectiveness of cystitis and urethritis treatment in combination with PRP therapy is clearly superior to generally accepted traditional methods.
Injection sites and procedure
This PRP-based treatment involves injecting platelet-rich plasma into the walls of the bladder and urethra to heal areas affected by inflammatory processes.
The growth factors contained in the platelets stimulate mucous membrane regeneration and lesion repair.
The procedure is effective even for chronic and long-lasting infectious diseases of the urinary system organs.
Injection sites and procedure
- Accelerate regeneration of the bladder mucosa.
- Relieve dysuria (difficult urination).
- Normalize diuresis (urine production and elimination).
- Extend the remission period for patients with chronic diseases.
- Prophylaxis of urological diseases.
- Reduce treatment duration.
- Enhance the effectiveness of antimicrobial therapy.
- Improve the quality of life for patients.
Application domains :
Cystitis
Urethritis
Inflammatory diseases of the urinary system organs
Erectile dysfunction
Peyronie's disease
Stress urinary incontinence
PRP can be combined with the following procedures :
- Medical therapy
- Physical therapy (laser therapy, electrophoresis, micro-enemas)
- Ozone therapy
- Immunocorrection
- Massage
Indications for PRP treatment in urology
The duration of the treatment is determined by the treating physician, based on the patient's complaints, condition, and desired outcome.
On the day of the procedure, avoid visiting baths and saunas.
The effect of PRP on certain diseases
Treatment of erectile dysfunction :
Erectile dysfunction involves chronic difficulties with the implementation of complete sexual intercourse.
It can manifest as erection problems, absence of ejaculation or orgasm, and other phenomena that prevent the enjoyment of sexual relations.
However, most often, patients seek medical help to complain about the first variant of the disorder, where, during sexual arousal, the penis, for some reason, does not fill with enough blood (remains soft, does not increase in size).
Solution:
PRP therapy proves to be a solution and delivers relatively rapid results.
This procedure stimulates the body's hidden regenerative resources, the formation of new blood vessels, muscle, and nerve tissues.
As a result of the treatment sessions, sexual life improves, the duration of sexual intercourse increases, pain syndrome subsides, and erectile dysfunction symptoms decrease.
Treatment of prostate adenoma :
Prostate adenoma affects many men after the age of 40.
Adenoma is tissue degeneration. The disease is autoimmune: the body's immune cells "attack" and destroy their own tissues, replacing them with connective tissue.
The process involves the formation of nodules on the prostate. Sometimes, an increase in the total volume of the prostate is observed.
The adenoma blocks the urethra, making urination difficult. This leads to impaired kidney and bladder function.
Solution:
These problems can be corrected with PRP. It involves introducing the patient's own plasma, enriched with proteins, platelets, and anti-inflammatory components, into the prostate area.
These components, enriched with anti-inflammatory factors, have a healing effect inside the prostate by secreting various immunomodulators, thus promoting cell regeneration.
A reduction in fibrous growths is also observed: the prostate becomes more flexible, and adenomatous nodules soften and decrease.
Treatment of urethritis :
Urethritis is an inflammatory process that can occur on the walls of the urethra.
This disease is quite often diagnosed and can be found in anyone, regardless of age.
The causes of its appearance are very different, from a lack of personal hygiene to the invasion of the urethra by various pathogens.
Symptoms include burning during urination, pain in the pelvic region, constant urge to urinate, as well as significant psychological discomfort.
Solution:
Most patients can resume their normal daily activities in a short time after PRP treatment.
Significant improvement is observed after several treatment sessions.
Platelet-rich plasma can naturally reduce the urge to urinate and eliminate hematuria (presence of blood in the urine).
Treatment of urinary and fecal incontinence :
Urinary incontinence is a condition characterized by uncontrolled urine leakage.
It is a fairly common condition that typically affects middle-aged and elderly men.
In cases of urinary incontinence, involuntary urination is accompanied by frequent and intense pressure on the bladder. The patient cannot retain their urine, which often occurs in a sudden stream.
The causes of these symptoms can be bladder infections, bladder cancer, neurological diseases, spinal cord injuries, bladder injuries after pelvic radiation therapy, or foreign bodies in the bladder.
The most common cause of incontinence in men, despite modern surgical technologies, is sphincter damage (the valve-like device that regulates the passage of contents from one organ of the body to another) during radical surgery for prostate cancer.
As with urinary incontinence, the patient experiences uncontrolled bowel movements.
Solution:
Platelet-rich plasma obtained from the patient's own blood is injected directly into the damaged sphincter and surrounding tissues.
Weak muscles are regenerated, and the regulating functions of the sphincter are restored.
The same effect is achieved by injecting platelet-rich plasma into the damaged anal sphincter if the patient suffers from fecal incontinence.
