The core tip: ED (erectile dysfunction) has become one of the most “well-known” terms in male diseases. Nowadays, Chinese men generally have high expectations of sexual function, hoping that their genitals are bigger and longer the better, the longer the erection time the better. Some medical institutions see this “business opportunity”, have to carry the banner of the treatment of ED to solicit business, some irregular treatment methods, seemingly new but immature technical means also take advantage of the opportunity to be pushed to the patient, including many “alternative” treatment, such as a needle The price of tens of thousands of yuan, claiming to “play on the growth” of the magical “growth hormone” for normal men to do penis enlargement surgery, and some even launched a similar “penile plastic” of The new tricks. Some people originally just because they imagined the “fake ED”, after treatment turned out to be the real ED. some ED patients receive treatment not only the condition is like adding fuel to the fire, but also caused urethral injury, erection pain, penile edema and many other sequelae, leaving a greater physical and mental pain. Aftermath: loss of erectile function after drug injection Two years ago, suffering from ED to a hospital to receive penile cavernous body injection treatment, the doctor told him that the injection into the cavernous body is a certain vasoactive drugs, can be used to improve erectile function by expanding the arterial vessels. Indeed, the penis did erect after the treatment, but the erection lasted five or six hours, swelling frighteningly large, and also felt some pain. After treatment, the penis finally returned to normal, but since then, it could not stretch freely, and could feel the hard knots under the skin, and later, it was diagnosed as “cavernous fibrosis”, and the penis basically lost its erectile function. It is understood that patients with “cavernous fibrosis” caused by injections are mostly due to the operating techniques of health care workers are not good. The cavernous body injection is mainly used to diagnose the patient’s condition or treat ED, and if too many injections are given in a short period of time, this hardening phenomenon will occur near the needle. Some patients after the injection, the penis continues to erect for several hours, and even some patients an erection is two days, the penis for a long time, and the erect state of the penis will compress the veins, resulting in slowing blood flow, more than four hours, it will make the blood stasis, not only affect the oxygen metabolism, but also lead to bruising, causing erectile function decline. The second sequel: the creation of “secondary development” erectile anti-poor Some drug advertisements claim to make men’s penis “secondary development”, and even some hospitals launched a shot of tens of thousands of yuan “growth hormone The “growth hormone”, claiming that “the shot will grow”. In fact, the medical term “secondary development” is only relative to patients with small testicles. Patients with this disease reach adulthood without a mature penis, despite normal development of male sexual characteristics such as beard and throat nodes. Doctors can help the penis continue to develop by supplementing it with androgens. In contrast, healthy men who are already mature have normal sex hormone production, and supplementing with more androgens can also increase the risk of prostate disease. Penis growth surgery does not really lengthen the length of the penis strictly speaking. The foreskin is cascading when the penis is weak and thus appears small. Penis growth surgery is performed by cutting open the penile suspensory ligament attached to the pubic bone and releasing the foreskin so that the length of the penis can increase by 5-10 cm when weak, making it seem “longer”, but the length of the penis in an erect state will not change. The third sequel: circumcision after the genitals become crooked Some men blame the ED on circumcision. However, if the penile tether is inadvertently cut when circumcised, or if it causes damage, it can lead to sluggishness and pain during sex, and in some cases, once the patient gets an erection, the tether is stretched, and as a result, the penis becomes bent. Recently, a man in a small hospital with “electric knife” to do circumcision, the result of foreskin necrosis, the doctor for its dressing glans also rotten, and finally after “repair”, the entire penis only left a third of the original length. According to the doctor’s analysis, it is likely that the doctor mistakenly cut off part of the artery during the circumcision, resulting in necrosis of the foreskin due to lack of blood. The fourth sequel: some treatments can damage the penis Some treatments can cause damage to the penis. For example, the most commonly used “negative pressure attraction” instrument for the treatment of ED, through the contact between the instrument and the penis, the spongy body will be sucked up blood swelling, for the penis of the blood function has a rehabilitation effect, but if the operation is too much, it will lead to the patient’s penis edema, pain. In addition, treatment of prostate tumors or hyperplasia requires removal of the prostate located at the root of the urethra, and improper operation can seriously affect erectile function. Surgery to treat hemorrhoids and rectal tumors while removing lymph nodes can also cause ED once the nerves controlling penile erection are mistakenly injured.
