How is PRP Done?
The procedure is performed completely without surgery and without the risk of anesthesia. A small amount of blood, around 10ml, is taken from the patient and placed in a centrifuge device in a tube. The centrifuge device allows us to separate platelets in the blood taken.
The separated plasma is taken into a special tube and from there it is drawn into syringes to be given to the penis. It is injected into the spongy vascular structure in the penis that provides erection. The procedure takes approximately 45 minutes following blood collection.
There is usually no pain after the procedure and the patient can return to his/her work life immediately. Sexual activity can also be resumed on the same day. PRP is applied in 3-4 sessions, approximately every 2 weeks, depending on the patient’s condition.
