I have not had the stem cell therapy but I am also very interested in hearing more about this treatment. Several doctors in the U.S. just started performing this and use adipose (i.e. fat) stem cells (they typically use stem cells from your own abdominal fat) for treatment . At this point, it is not approved by the FDA. I am not aware of any specific published trials in humans using adipose stem cells for erectile dysfunction however studies with rats have shown significant improvement in erectile functioning.

The study mentioned above did not indicate if the results with the andipose stem cells lasted a long duration. Some of the trials for other types of stem cells such as human umbilical cord blood stem cells indicate there were improved results that lasted less than a year.
