What Are Stem Cell Adverse Reactions?
Stem cell therapy is a cutting-edge regenerative treatment that can offer remarkable health benefits. However, like any medical intervention, it may occasionally lead to adverse reactions. These reactions can range from mild and temporary symptoms to rare but serious complications.
Mild reactions often include fever, headache, fatigue, or minor inflammation at the injection site. These typically resolve within a few hours to days. Severe reactions are extremely rare and may involve immune system responses or unexpected complications, which is why monitoring and follow-up care are crucial.
Our medical team ensures continuous monitoring and personalized care to minimize any risks.
Common Adverse Reactions Observed
While stem cell therapy is generally safe, patients may experience some mild and temporary reactions. Understanding these helps you prepare and ensures timely intervention if needed.
- Mild fever or chills
- Headache or dizziness
- Fatigue or temporary weakness
- Minor swelling or redness at the injection site
- Allergic reactions in rare cases
Severe reactions are extremely rare. Our medical team monitors each patient closely to minimize risks and provide immediate care if necessary.
