The Daily Mail reported that a cardiologist in Cardiff, England performed the first new erectile dysfunction surgery in Europe. This process involves the implantation of a small metal support tube that widens the artery into the penis, increasing the blood flow to the "little boy".

The team hopes that the surgery could be widely used to help treat one-third of erectile dysfunction patients with other treatments. It is estimated that more than half of men aged 40-70 have been experiencing this situation.

Current popular erectile dysfunction treatments are usually through medications like Viagra, or in severe cases, penile or vacuum pump injections. However, these methods often have side effects, deprivation of spontaneity and are not always effective.

According to experts, a common cause is the blockage of arteries. This occurs with age and limits blood flow to the groin area - the process that is essential for creating and maintaining an erection of the penis.

Viagra increases temporary blood flow and can still be effective even in case of 70% blockage in the main artery in the penis, but when there is a blockage of up to 90% or more there will not be enough space. give blood full circulation to "little boy". These congestion comes from the same mechanisms that lead to arteriosclerosis in the heart. Cholesterol builds up, preventing blood circulation.

Since the 1990s, stents have been used to implant on millions of patients to expand clogged arteries in the heart. When used to treat erectile dysfunction, they are 1 - 3mm in size, depending on the size of the penile artery.

A cardiologist, Dr Nick Ossei-Gerning of the University of Wales Hospital, Cardiff said, to find out if the problem with "little boy" was caused by a blocked artery, he injected one. color dyes on the arteries in the penis and X-rays to see if the arteries are narrowed. If that happens, the stent may be implanted through the arteries in the groin.

The surgical process lasts 3-4 hours, at a cost of about 6,380 - 11,166 USD. The patient will be discharged from the hospital on the same day of surgery and no sensation of the stent was implanted.

Dr. Ossei-Gerning is now planning to perform 4 new surgeries for erectile dysfunction and if they continue to be as successful as the first case 1 year ago, this method will be widely applied. . The man tested by Ossei-Gerning in October last year is still very satisfied with "little boy". He can still have a total erection almost 1 year after surgery.
