Jab could treat erectile dysfunction with a man's own blood

Giving a man a one-off jab of his own blood could be a new treatment for erectile dysfunction.

In a recent study, researchers gave the injection to men undergoing shockwave therapy – already used to help those with erectile dysfunction (ED) – and found it significantly increased its effectiveness.

Six weeks after having the combination treatment, the men, some of whom had had ED for up to 19 years, reported that their sexual ­performance scores almost ­doubled on average, compared with just 25 per cent for those having only the shockwave ­therapy.
