QUESTIONS
General Questions About Regenerative Medicine
What is regenerative medicine?
Regenerative medicine uses the body’s own cells, usually from blood or adipose tissue, to support healing and tissue repair. Dr. Mohiuddin offers two main forms, stem cell therapy and PRP therapy.
What is the difference between stem cell therapy and PRP therapy?
Stem cell therapy uses cells that can support tissue repair and regeneration, while PRP therapy concentrates platelets from the patient’s own blood to support healing and reduce inflammation. Dr. Mohiuddin uses both, often for different conditions or different stages of treatment. See the full comparison.
Are stem cell therapy and PRP therapy regulated in Bangladesh?
Yes. Stem cell and cell based products are subject to national guidelines in Bangladesh under the Directorate General of Drug Administration, DGDA. Dr. Mohiuddin serves on the Stem Cell and Cell Based Products Guidelines Coordinating Committee of Bangladesh, which helps shape these guidelines.
QUESTIONS
Safety Questions
Is stem cell therapy safe?
Stem cell therapy using a patient’s own cells carries a different risk profile than treatments using external material, since there is no donor tissue involved. Safety still depends on the individual patient and condition, which is why every case starts with a clinical assessment.
Is PRP therapy safe?
PRP therapy uses the patient’s own blood, which reduces certain risks compared to treatments using external material. Safety and suitability still depend on the individual patient and condition being treated.
What are the risks of stem cell therapy or PRP therapy?
As with any medical procedure, there are risks, including infection at the injection site, discomfort, and the possibility that treatment does not produce the expected result. Dr. Mohiuddin discusses the specific risks relevant to your case during your consultation.
QUESTIONS
Cost and Insurance Questions
How much does stem cell therapy cost in Dhaka?
The cost of stem cell therapy depends on the specific protocol used, the condition being treated, and the number of sessions needed. Because treatment is individualized, an accurate cost estimate is provided after your consultation, once a treatment plan has been discussed.
How much does PRP therapy cost in Dhaka?
The cost of PRP therapy depends on the technique used, the condition being treated, and the number of sessions needed. An accurate cost estimate is provided after your consultation.
Does insurance cover stem cell therapy or PRP therapy in Bangladesh?
Insurance coverage for regenerative medicine treatments varies by insurer and policy. Check directly with your insurance provider, and the clinic team can help confirm what documentation you may need.
QUESTIONS
Treatment Process Questions
How many sessions of treatment are typically needed?
The number of sessions depends on the condition being treated, its severity, and how the patient responds to treatment. This is discussed as part of your treatment plan after your initial assessment.
How do I know if I am a candidate for treatment?
Candidacy depends on your specific diagnosis, its severity, and your overall health. A consultation with Dr. Mohiuddin, including a review of your history and any relevant imaging, is the only way to know for certain.
What should I bring to my first consultation?
Bring any existing medical records, imaging such as X-rays or MRI scans, and a list of any medications you are currently taking. This helps Dr. Mohiuddin assess your case more thoroughly at your first visit.
