It’s an issue that affects more than half of men around the world. 

But scientists may finally have a long-term solution for erectile dysfunction. 

Experts from South China University of Technology have created the world’s first 3D-printed penis implant. 

The implant is designed to imitate a portion of the penis known as the corpus cavernosum, and 비아그라 퀵배송 measures 2.46-inches (62.5mm) long. 

In their study, the team tested it in rabbits and pigs, with impressive results. 

Pigs with the implant who had damage to their penile tissue not only achieved erections, but also saw a boost in fertility. 

While it’s yet to be trialled in humans, scientists hope to extend their testing to men in the future. 

‘Our findings support the further development of 3D-printed blood-vessel-rich functional organs for transplantation,’ the team said.

Erectile dysfunction is a common condition that affects the ability to either achieve or maintain an erection. 

‘Most men occasionally fail to get or keep an erection,’ the NHS explains on its website.

‘This is usually caused by stress, tiredness or drinking too much alcohol, and it’s nothing to worry about.

‘It can also be a side effect of some medicines.

‘If erectile dysfunction happens often, it may be caused by a condition such as: high blood pressure or high cholesterol diabetes depression or anxiety hormone problems.’

There are several treatments available to men with the condition, including Viagra and vacuum pumps. 

However, researchers have been trying to find a more long-term solution for men with the condition. 

In their new study, the researchers used a hydrogel to 3D-print a model of the corpus cavernosum – a key structure in the penis that fills with blood during an erection.

To test the implant’s effect, the researchers implanted it into dozens of pigs and rabbits with erectile dysfunction. 

Amazingly, 비아그라 구입처 they found that the implant not only helped these animals to achieve erections, but also boosted their fertility. 

For example, 비아그라 효과 before receiving the implant, pigs with damage to their penile tissue had a reproductive success rate of 20 per cent.

But after receiving the implant, this success rate jumped up to 100 per cent.   

While the implant is yet to be tested in humans, the researchers believe it could be an effective treatment for men with erectile dysfunction or penile injuries. 

‘In this study, 비아그라온라인약국 we created a dynamic model of the penile corpus cavernosum that not only reproduced erectile function in vitro but also restored normal penile erect morphology and reproductive function in rabbits and pigs with corpus cavernosum defects generated via in situ implantation,’ the team concluded. 

‘These findings underscore the potential clinical applications of biomimetic corpus cavernosum (BCC) for the treatment of penile injuries. 

‘Furthermore, this study advances the clinical application of 3D-printed artificial tissue organs.’

Valentine’s Day can truly pile the pressure on a chap.

First there’s the card and flowers to sort, followed perhaps by a smart dinner. And what about the big, romantic climax to the night?

For some men, the expectation to perform in the bedroom can spell disaster.

If this is true in your marriage, don’t panic – half of men aged between 40 and 비아그라 퀵배송 70 will experience erectile dysfunction, according to a report by Lloyds Pharmacy.

And yet it’s something many find difficult to talk about, even to their partner. And that embarrassment can make the problem even worse.

Clinical sexologist Marie Morice says ‘mental barriers’ are one of the most common causes of issues with libido, although she adds: ‘It’s important for people to do a medical check to understand the underlying cause.’

But all being well physically, there are plenty of practical measures you can take -together and separately – to reignite the passion this Valentine’s Day.

Here’s what to try if you want to put the spring back into your man’s step…

EAT CHOCOLATE

Dark chocolate has long been billed as a natural aphrodisiac. It’s rich in magic ingredients like flavonoids and caffeine that support and improve cardiovascular health.

It can also trigger the release of endorphins and dopamine, 비아그라 구입처 hormones in the body associated with both arousal and pleasure.

Now there’s For Play couples chocolate, made with lots of added extras to stimulate you both.

Each His & Hers box (£28, forplay.co.uk) contains six chocs – three ‘His’ and three ‘Hers’.

‘Our chocolate is infused with natural adaptogens and botanicals, such as maca root, to heighten libido, intensify pleasure and improve performance,’ says the brand’s founder, intimacy coach Victoria Rusnac.

SHARE A SAUNA

Some people suggest there’s a link between saunas – all the rage among celebrities such as David Beckham and Chris Hemsworth – and increased libido.

‘Heat exposure through saunas can boost circulation and lower stress, both of which may ease erectile dysfunction, although evidence is still emerging,’ says Marie.

Tempted? Gilles Darmon, 비아그라온라인약국 director at KLAFS UK, luxury sauna maker, says: ‘In addition, the soothing heat from regular saunas can help to strengthen the body – regular contact with heat relaxes the muscles and 정품 비아그라 supports regeneration – which contributes to enhanced sexual wellbeing.’

A GLASS OF RED

Thinking about that second bottle to go with your chocolate fondant tomorrow? Think again. NHS GP Dr Deepali Misra-Sharp explains: ‘Excessive alcohol intake can negatively affect sexual desire and performance.

‘The NHS recommends keeping alcohol consumption below 14 units per week – roughly six pints of beer, or six medium-sized glasses of wine.’

But you don’t have to put the corkscrew down entirely. Recent studies suggest the polyphenols found in red wine can actually improve vascular health, which gives the blood flow to the penis a boost and helps men to maintain an erection.

USE AN INTIMACY APP

There are plenty of apps now designed to help couples reconnect or spice things up.

But Mojo (mojo.so) takes things a step further – it asks the user a series of questions about his sex life, then puts together a personalised plan to help him boost his satisfaction in the bedroom, using psychological techniques that are clinically proven.

This is one for your man to do alone – but it could work wonders for both of you.

WATERMELON CURE

This one might sound like an old wives’ tale, but some couples swear by watermelon as an aphrodisiac.

Dubbed ‘natural Viagra’, it really is packed with an amino acid called citrulline that makes the blood vessels wider and could help to increase blood flow and, therefore, arousal.

CAN-DO ATTITUDE

Take your cue from Gillian Anderson by stocking up on a few cans of Arouse from her G Spot brand, a range of functional soft drinks designed to promote pleasure.

Promising to ‘get you in the mood’ with zesty passionfruit, spicy orange habanero and sweet pineapple, this particular drink is packed with hero ingredients, from butterfly pea to L-arginine, that can increase blood flow, improve libido and reduce tiredness.

Worth a shot, right?

LOVE AT FIRST SPRITZ

They say that smell is the most evocative sense, which is why ‘pheromone perfumes’ were trending on TikTok last year.

In short, the clever ingredients in these new scents are said to work with your body’s naturally occurring pheromones – secreted in bodily fluids such as sweat – to make you even more sexually attractive to potential partners, and help boost desire.

According to The Perfume Shop, the most common notes found in these scents are amber, 비아그라온라인약국 civet and musk, so think along the lines of Tom Ford Ombré Leather.

Sex in a bottle.
