Stem Cell Treatment for Erectile Dysfunction in London, with Dr Fabio Castiglione!
Who is Dr. Castiglione and what is Holistic Andrology?
Dr. Fabio Castiglione is both an Andrologist and Urologist. He graduated in Medicine and Surgery and subsequently completed his training in Urology at the Vita Salute San Raffaele University in Milan. He holds a PhD in stem cells and erectile dysfunction from the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (Belgium). He is a member of the European Committee of Sexual Medicine (FECSM), of the European Urology Board (FEBU) and member of the scientific committee of the Andrological Guidelines of the International Sexual Medicine Society (ISSM), of the European Society of Urology (UAE) and of the European Society for Sexual Medicine (ESSM). Dr. Castiglione also holds the qualifications as Full Professor in Urology in Italy and Consult Urologist at the King’s College Hospital in London.
Scientist and researcher
Dr. Castiglione is the author of over 90 publications in international journals and is the creator of P-Shocks® www.p-shotlondon.com, the most advanced treatment for Peyronie’s disease and erectile dysfunction, for which he was awarded with Excellence Award 2022 from the European Society for Sexual Medicine and from the international Society for Sexual Medicine (ISSM)
Stem cell therapy
It is a new therapy alternative that is still in the experimental stage and has the potential to cure erectile dysfunction. Most of the published studies are based on animal models, but there was also case series. In one of this study, the patients, all diabetics, aged between 57 and 87, received treatment with intracavernous injections based on stem cells taken from the umbilical cord. Six out of seven men experienced morning erections six months after the injection. With the concomitant use of Viagra®, all of these patients were able to achieve vaginal penetration. No side effects have been reported. Stem cells have evidently been shown to promote angiogenesis, revascularization and improve blood flow. With the use of autologous adult stem cells from one’s own body (blood, bone marrow and adipose tissue) it may be possible to repair sexual dysfunctions.
Who better than Dr. Castiglione for stem cells?
Dr. Castiglione had the idea to use stem cells to treat a disorder of the penis known as Peyronie’s disease when he was 24 years old. His intuition: to utilize stem cells to minimise fibrosis in the penis (one of the reasons of both penile curvature and erectile dysfunction) has become the subject of worldwide research, making Castiglione one of the most prominent references in this field. TThis is what Dr. Castiglione studied and for which he obtained a PhD from the University of Leuven in Belgium, the world’s first on stem cells applied to Peyronie’s disease. From here, he authored 9 papers (one of which was published in the prestigious “Nature Urology”), and a current of research began, from which more than 150 articles were published. All of this happened when he was 32 years old.

Why stem cells?
Research on rats gives an abundance of solid data that stem cells can be applied to humans. In addition, some human trials have been undertaken (as stated in the first paragraph), but not enough to consider it a standard treatment. Consequently, it can only be categorised as experimental for the time being. The concept of employing stem cells for this type of treatment is based on their capacity to function as a “pharmacy.” If they are administered to an appropriately inflamed system, they can decrease collagen production. Diabetes, ageing, and cardiovascular disease all contribute to an increase in penile fibrotic tissue. Due to collagen (fibrotic tissue), the penis is unable to extend adequately, resulting in erectile dysfunction and a condition known as bent penis (Peyronie’s disease).
What do stem cells do?
They can enter the system and affect this biological circuit, lowering fibrosis while improving vascularity. The “beauty” of stem cells is that they travel to the site of the issue. This means that, in this case, they do not have to be put into the penis: the stem cells travel where there is inflammation and, if there are enough of them, they can reverse the system by generating younger tissue. This is what happens with so-called “lipofilling,” which is utilised by many plastic surgeons to treat scars, for example. The root of the disease is not eliminated in this manner, therefore it is not a definitive intervention; however, in a process of general improvement of the patient’s conditions, the help of these stem cells brings the penis into a state that can have a long-term benefit.
Studies
Currently, there are more than 15 clinical trials, it has been proven that they are safe but to be able to demonstrate their effectiveness, a number and careful selection of patients is necessary. There are studies that have collected 20-30-40 patients who have been given stem cells and a positive effect has been observed. But the power calculation of the study, i.e. the number of patients involved in it, was not such as to make it statistically significant.
Dr Castiglione’s P-Shocks® method
P-Shocks® is an advanced regenerative therapy protocol for erectile dysfunction or Peyronie’s disease. It involves a combination of shock wave sessions, medications, supplements, vacuum pump therapy, and platelet plasma (PRP). The P-Shocks®® is tailored to each patient based on their level of impotence or penile deformity. Find out more information by reading the article: P-shock treatment in London.
