A mysterious patch developed
Close to half of men experience episodes of "erectile dysfunction" in their lives. It's like for everyone else: there are days when Mr. Happy doesn't feel like waking up. The reasons are diverse and varied, ranging from stress to fatigue, from a drop in testosterone to accidents.
One reason could also come from lesions caused in penile tissues. (Or "erectile tissues"). To treat these tissues, which maintain the erection, Chinese researchers have developed a hydrogel-based patch very useful. This would repair damaged tissues, as a result of a "penile fracture", or any injury that sometimes requires surgical interventions. Here, Popol remains faithful to his post, standing as straight as a poker.
Is a bionic penis about to be developed?
In reality, it's a bit (hehe) more complex, but researchers and other scientists are actively working on it. The famous patch mentioned earlier is a significant advancement in reconstructive surgery. Even though experiments have mainly been carried out on guinea pigs so far, the...The results turned out to be rather conclusive.
With the use of hydrogel, which brilliantly imitates the natural membrane and its elasticity, an artificial version of the tunica albuginea has been created. (We know, lots of big words in this article if you're not a specialist...) That's why, with all this evolution, there are high hopes for the development of a completely artificial penis!

The scientific team announces: "The next step will be to completely treat penises with disorders, or even create an artificial penis with a holistic approach." In the meantime, Viagra is a proven solution. It's worth noting that in 2016, Sun reported...The Sun reported the story of Mohammed Abad in Scotland: After being in a car accident as a child, he had his first sexual encounter at the age of 43 thanks to a bionic sex transplant.

The good news is that if we can operate at the "tap" level, it is possible to construct biomimetic tissues such as in the intestine, bladder, cornea, tendons, or blood vessels. Progress never stops...
