BALI - Sexologist Dr Boyke Dian Nugraha said that cell punca (stem cells) can be applied to overcome erectile dysfunction.

"The case of erectile dysfunction is a blood vessel problem, these stem cells can be young," said Dr. Boyke on the sidelines of attending the World Council International Congress for Preventive, Regenerative, and Anti-Aging Medicine (WOCPM) in Kuta, Badung Regency, Bali, Antara, Sunday, October 10.

He revealed that punca cell therapy can improve blood vessels related to male reproductive health. There are also levels of testosterone hormones in men which are expected to decrease from the age of 30-35 years and at the age of 50-60 years into andropause.

The cell therapy can be combined with peptide therapy, which is part of a protein that makes you youthful by taking medication or through injections.

"It (peptide) is part of the protein in such a way, now it is being produced and in Indonesia it does not exist yet," he added, who is also a specialist in the womb.

On the other hand, he revealed that punca cells can be obtained from the person's own body or other people obtained, including from the spinal cord and blood.

The punca cells, he said, were also found in the central rope, namely the ikat network that connects the fetus with the mother's placenta.

In fact, Dr. Boyke revealed that currently there is a central rope bank that deviates from the connective network because in addition to fighting early delays, the punca cells can also fight a number of diseases.

"Against degenerative diseases or diseases related to chronic cancer, autritis, and utilization," he said.

He hopes that through the meeting of world doctors on the sidelines of the international congress, experts can collaborate with each other and exchange experiences to provide progress in the medical world.

Meanwhile, the World Health Organization (WHO) said it was estimated that more than 150 million men worldwide had erectile dysfunction in 1995.

The number is projected to increase to 320 million by 2025.

According to WHO, the most common cause of erectile dysfunction is thought to be related to vascular disorders in the blood supply of the penis and erectile tissue which are often associated with cardiovascular disease and risk factors.
