The gas seed implanted in the

Scientists have found a new way to help men overcome impotence: transplant tiny plastic particles containing nitric oxide gas into "little boy". The initial test results showed that the method was even more effective than "Viagra".

As we know, the erection of the penis is due to the blood rushing to the special caverns located along the length of the "little boy". Caverns are connected to a complex vascular system, and any damage to these blood vessels will interfere with the blood supply and may lead to impotence in men.

For this reason, men with high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes have a higher risk of erectile dysfunction. It is estimated that about 50% - 70% of men with diabetes also have problems with "little boy".

There are currently a number of drug treatments, including the use of the active ingredient sildenafil - the main ingredient that has made Viagra 's " aphrodisiac " name successful in dealing with erectile dysfunction. . However, for some reason, one-third of men do not respond to these drugs.

Scientists have found an alternative, using tiny plastic particles containing nitric oxide gas. Some previous tests have been done for revealing cardiovascular patients, nitric oxide - a natural gas that can decline with age, helping to expand blood vessels.

In a new experiment at Rice University (US), scientists implanted nitric oxide-containing particles into the cavity of the penis of affected animals for type 2 diabetes. in "little boy" , tiny particles have gradually released nitric oxide gas. The results showed that this method improved the erectile function of experimental animals within 3 weeks, faster and more effectively than Viagra.

According to the Journal of Sexual Medicine , the team is planning to test the method in humans. If successful, it can officially become a new treatment option for erectile dysfunction for all patients over the next 5 years.

Commenting on the test results, Professor Raj Persad from Bristol Endocrinology Institute (USA) emphasized that plastic particles containing nitric oxide gas can also bring about general health benefits due to increased circulation. throughout the body, although they are only implanted in the penis area.
