Is stem cell therapy safe?
Stem cell therapy is generally considered safe when administered by qualified medical professionals. However, the safety depends on the type of stem cells, the method of administration, and patient health status.
What are the common side effects?
Mild side effects may include pain or swelling at the injection site, low-grade fever, or temporary fatigue. Serious complications are rare but can occur if treatment is not properly monitored.
Can stem cell therapy cause cancer?
There is no strong evidence that approved stem cell treatments increase cancer risk. However, unregulated or experimental therapies may carry unknown risks, so it is important to choose licensed clinics.
Are there long-term risks?
Long-term risks are not fully understood, as stem cell therapy is relatively new. Continuous follow-up and clinical monitoring are recommended to ensure safety and effectiveness.
Who should avoid stem cell therapy?
Patients with active infections, certain cancers, or autoimmune diseases should consult a specialist before treatment. Individual risk factors must be evaluated to ensure therapy is appropriate.
Is the procedure painful?
Most stem cell treatments involve injections, which may cause mild discomfort. Local anesthesia or sedation can be used to minimize pain. Post-treatment soreness is usually temporary.
How is the therapy monitored for safety?
Patients are monitored through regular follow-ups, lab tests, and imaging when necessary. Licensed clinics follow strict protocols to ensure proper cell handling and patient safety.
