Surgical Correction of Peyronie Disease Using Tissue Grafts

admin — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 21:00:11 +0000

Tissue grafts is one more popular method of managing Peyronie?s Disease. This is one of the surgical procedures that is available to people suffering from the condition and is more sought out by people who do not wish to see any shortening of the length of the penis that can happen if they undergo Nesbit procedure, another surgical option for managing the condition.

This surgical method involves the total surgical removal of the plaque that has formed within the penis and attempting straightening procedure to remove the curvature of the penis. Many surgeons will advise this procedure to the patient especially when the plaque formation is quite big or when the curvature is quite extreme. Here, the tissue that is lost when the plaque present in the connective tissue layer is removed is replaced by using tissue grafts.

The tissue grafts that are placed to replace the removed tissue can be of different types that include autografts (tissue graft material removed from the person?s own body from some other area) and synthetic tissue grafts like Dacron mesh or Goretex material. But, unlike autografts that cause no negative immunologic response, synthetic tissue grafts can lead to problems like scar formation or fibrosis.

Xenografts are another option. Xenografts are tissue material of either human (not from the same person) or from animal sources. Although these are much easier to procure, they too have the possibility of causing negative immune responses and chances of rejection.

Another common issue that needs to be administered is the problem of contraction after the placement of the graft. This can lead to problems like scarring and cause the shortening of the penis. These are factors that one needs to consider before opting for going in for tissue grafts.

Placing Penile implants are the last treatment of choice that is available to a patient suffering from problems of Peyronie?s disease. Earlier, penile implants were the first line of treatment for people suffering from erectile dysfunction but these days introduction of newer methods have helped get rid of erectile dysfunction without using implants. But, still this method is used as a last resort when other methods have failed to eliminate erectile problems.

The implants that are placed in the penis are cylinders made out of plastic and are of solid or inflatable types. This is surgically inserted into the Corpora Cavernosa. As these are made out of biocompatible materials, there are no possibilities of rejection due to negative immune responses. The surgeon either places the implant passively allowing it to do the job of correcting the curvature or will attempt to correct the curvature prior to placing the implant so that the implant will hold the penis against the curvature and provide better results.

Before attempting any surgical technique, patients should try out other noninvasive techniques and try out a surgical method only when other methods have failed to provide results. Trying out surgery very early or insufficient surgical correction can cause the condition to recur or the procedure to fail. Although many patients who have undergone surgery have had satisfactory results, surgery has its own set of risks and problems that can happen that have damaging permanent after effects.

Surgical Correction of Curvature of the Penis ? Nesbit Procedure

admin — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 21:00:10 +0000

Nesbit procedure is the term used to indicate a surgical process that is done to help in rectifying an abnormal severe curvature of the penis. This is the procedure that is indicated for bringing about straightening of a curvature of the penis that is present right from birth especially for cases that present with some moderate curvature of the penis. This method will be preferred over other procedures like tissue grafting as adverse effects like erectile dysfunction is much less a possibility.

But, the problems associated with performing the procedure include a shortening of the length of the penis and the possibility of loss of sensations in the penis. It can also have the possibility of causing erectile dysfunction although this is seen in only about 2 % of the cases. But, the good news is that a high 90% of the patients suffering from Peyronie?s disease and congenital curvature problem are very much satisfied with the outcome of the procedure.

The procedure is fairly trouble-free and simple. First, the penis is injected with a sterile physiologic salt solution. The purpose of this is to cause an erection of the penis artificially. The surgeon then places a clamp on the outer portion of the curvature that causes the connective tissue of the penis known as the Tunica Albuginea to become straighter. As a result of this procedure being performed, a slight shortening of the penis will be noted. The surgeon then sutures the area and it is common to see some oozing from the area of the suture a day or two following the operation but it is no cause for worry.

The person can resume normal sexual activity once the healing of the surgical area is complete. Also, the person should no longer feel any pain in the area which indicates complete healing.

Peyronies Disease ? A condition causing Abnormal Penis Curvature

admin — Sat, 03 Jan 2009 21:00:25 +0000

The shape of the penis is not a concern for many people who are born and blessed with normal penises. But, there are many people out there who are not so lucky and experience problems with the shape of their penis that has untoward effects on the sex life of the individual.

So, it might come as a surprise to you to know that there are many people out there who do not have perfect ramrod shape to their penis and have abnormal curvature to the penis. Some even develop abnormal curvature over a period of time due to the formation of scar tissue on the penis. This is a condition known as Peyronie?s disease and is known to affect about 1% of male population.

This condition is termed after the surgeon of Louis XIV of France by name Francois de la Peyronie who was the first to identify the condition and suggest a remedy way back in the year 1743. While it is not known properly as to what causes the problem, the way the problem is caused is known.

The chamber of the penis known as Corpora Cavernosa is covered by a thick layer of connective tissue known as tunica albuginea. People suffering from Peyronie?s disease experience formation of scar tissue in this layer of connective tissue that hinders normal erection and also causes the abnormal curvature of the penis during erection.

The condition is painful in the beginning but later the pain dissipates and no pain is felt. But, the main problem the person faces is the abnormal curvature of the penis when erect and reduction in the penis length when flaccid.

Many people with this condition are still able to have sex and have no pain whatsoever when they indulge in sex. Although it can occur in any race and age group of people, it is more frequent in Caucasians over the age of 40. But, one thing you need to remember is that it is not transmitted from one person to the other nor is the condition some kind of incurable cancer.

Although the diagnosis of the condition is quite easy, it is a very difficult condition to correct. While it is an Urologist who has specialization in treating this kind of problems, not all of them are actually well versed with the condition or providing treatment for it. Some people with this condition are prescribed medication with L-arginine and Sildenafil. Sometimes, in very severe conditions of this disease, surgery might be necessary.

Is Warm up Necessary for Stretching

admin — Sun, 28 Dec 2008 22:15:24 +0000

Modern day life has left people with little time to devote for many things they like to pursue. As people do not have lots of time to spare for many activities they are hard pressed for time and try to utilize each minute to the maximum. For this reason, some men opt to undertake stretching instead of going through a complete penis exercise routine. People want to find fast methods to get results as some efforts are necessary to see some gains. Stretching is one such technique people undertake as it takes very little time to perform and can be done in the privacy of the home or even in the toilet.

Stretching is quite unlike jelqing as the technique aims to stretch ligaments that hold the penis which actually helps in improving the size of the penis when flaccid while jelqing is performed to improve blood flow to the penis as well as to cause tissue expansion. The right method to perform stretching is to undertake a complete routine that comprises of warming up and completing the exercise and then warming down. But, many people for want of time may not devote enough time for the entire routine.

But, is this is a good idea to perform the penis exercise without proper warm up and warm down is the question that comes to many people?s mind. Although it can be done in this way, it is extremely important to take very great care. One should remember that stretching the ligaments is less complex than attempting to bring about tissue growth and this can be performed with lesser prior warm up. But, one should be very careful and avoid over performing these exercises and to cease it if there is too much pain or some sore spots. Restrict and avoid performing the exercises till such time no pain is present.

It is important to remember that stretching is only helpful in improving the flaccid length of the penis. If all you are interested in is enlargement of the penis when erect or if you are attempting to have girth improvements, you need to go all the way and perform all the exercises that need to be preceded by a proper warm up and ended with a warm down. While stretching helps in bringing some improvements to the flaccid size, only a full routine will help in exerting the right amount of stress and bring about growth of the penis.

So, it is best to follow a full routine with proper warm up and warm downs to gain the best results out of your exercises.

Finding the Right Sized Condom

admin — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 22:00:13 +0000

You might be aware of the fact that condoms are one of the best methods to prevent sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancy. For this reason, there are many NGO?s all over the world who promote the use of condoms in preventing STDs and conditions like AIDS. But, still there are many people who prefer not to use condoms although they are helpful in preventing many potential problems.

One reason behind this is that not everyone is at ease in going to a pharmacy and purchasing condoms for use. This is a common reason why people avoid using condoms as they feel very shy and apprehensive in asking for it especially if they are being served by a female salesperson. They also worry that people about them might ridicule their option of using condoms or pass lewd comments or joke about it. In order to overcome the problem, Western countries began adopting the method of selling condoms through vending machines so that condoms could be purchased very discreetly. But, this again brought in a problem no one anticipated.

If you are purchasing condoms at a pharmacy, you can check with the pharmacist and see advice on the features of a particular type of condom like length and girth. This is of utmost importance as using a condom of improper size can lead to slipping off during sex or the possibility of tearing that can lead to potential problems and health hazards. While picking condoms at the vending machine, there is no one to provide advice and there is a high possibility that you might pick up something inappropriate defeating the benefits of the condom. You cannot rely on just picking up something of standard size as there is a high percentage of population who will find these condoms bigger than what is necessary to fit them right.

A person with a small sized penis is bound to feel very uncomfortable while trying to purchase condoms. This is completely understandable as they might feel insecure to be picking up the smallest of all the sizes that is available. Another aspect that is bound to confuse a novice is the amount of choice that is available in terms of choosing between colors, flavors and shapes. Even men with bigger penises might feel uncomfortable picking up a condom as it will reveal their exact size and might feel queasy if someone stares at their crotch to see how big they are.

If you are unsure about the right size of the condom to buy, you can refer to this guide to help you out. Condom sizes in the Western countries are small, medium or regular, large and extra large. Small size fits a penis of 6 inches in length and 3.9 inches in girth, regular measures out 6.5 inches in length and 4.1 inches in girth, large is equivalent to 7 inches in length and 4.1 inches in girth and extra large is 7.5 to 8 inches in length and 4.3 inches in girth at the base and 4.7 inches at the region that fits the glans.

Dos and Donts of Penis Exercising

admin — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 22:00:13 +0000

Penis exercises can be likened to any type of body fitness workouts. Like other fitness programs work on various parts of the body and help in improving the growth of tissues, penis exercises are helpful in improving the size of the penis by making the tissues of the penis stretch and grow. The exercises also concentrate on the muscle groups such as pubococcygeus muscles that are essential in improving their tone and strength.

You will not be in anyway taken aback to notice that at the end of your routine you will get a sense of wellbeing in the penis in a similar fashion as one will see when one does a fitness workout. There is a pleasant sensation in the penis as the blood circulation improves than what it was before and is also as a result of some changes happening within the tissues of the penis. Although you might find the skin of the penis with some amount of bruising due to your gripping it, the improved circulation in the penis will make it highly sensitive to any sensations.

But, one must be watchful to see if they are experiencing only these sensations or if they are feeling any kind of tenderness in the penis. If such symptoms are present, it is an indication to take heed that there is an error in the way that you are conducting the exercises and you need to overcome this in order to prevent from hurting the penis in any way. One of the most frequent errors that one commits while performing their exercises is to take shortcuts and avoid important things like a warm up or a warm down.

While it is possible for some to proceed without undertaking much of a warm up, it is best if you follow a regime that does require it and while doing it should be followed very diligently. If proper warm up is not being done before performing the exercises, the amount of tissue breakdown might be more than what is necessary. Also, warm down is also vital to end the exercise routine as this will help in improving the adaptability of the tissues to show proper healing and growth. With proper warm down, the blood circulation is improved to the penis and initiates the process of healing.

Another cause for pain is trying to overdo things. Some people are so hasty in their approach that they want to see results overnight and think that if they do more repetitions they will end up with a far larger penis. But, this approach is not right as penis is not a muscle to strain it to grow but is made of spongy tissue that will need adequate time and not too severe stress on it to grow.

Some also make mistakes unwittingly as it will seem to be an excellent idea to them but may not be in actuality. One must know when it is necessary to stop performing some exercise and try something else. Inexperience is another factor that comes in the way. One should remember that the adaptability of tissues of the penis is not as good as that of the other parts of the body like muscles and adequate time and lesser stress should be the way to go.

It is also common for some men to follow up an exercise session with sex or with masturbation which is not at all advisable. One should remember that the penis needs about two to three hours after an exercise routine to recuperate. Many feel that they have achieved a good erection during the routine and why waste it. But, it is essential to rest the penis than tax it with another session of sex or masturbation. It is also advisable to have sex the night you do your exercises. It is best to follow a regime of doing the exercises on alternate days so that you have other days to have sex and satisfy your self.

The Complexities of Penile Erection

admin — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 22:00:14 +0000

Erection is an amazing phenomenon and work of nature that occurs spontaneously without using any device to accomplish it. Even though this may occur to be fairly easy and uncomplicated, it is actually not so. Similar to any other function of the body, there is a complex mechanism involved being guided by the central and the autonomous nervous system that works in response to certain stimuli.

These stimuli can be anything that is seen, heard, smelt, imagined or the feeling of touch. The conduction of these stimuli to the brain initiates the nervous system to bring about an erection. The nerves present in the pubic area receive signals from the erectile centers that are present in the sacral and the lumbar areas of the spinal cord that stimulates the release of nitric oxide which acts as a transmitter for the stimuli between the cells.

Arteries in the penis react to the release of nitric oxide by a process known as vasodilatation that causes engorgement of the arteries and allows more blood to flow into the penis. This extra blood enters the spongy tissue called the corpora cavernosa and the tubular structure that allows the urine and the semen to pass through called the corpus spongiosum.

Once the blood has accumulated in these two areas of the penis, the arteries will undergo vasoconstriction to prevent the blood from flowing back. This mechanism is mainly influenced by the actions of the autonomous nervous system and to some extent by the central nervous system. The reverse process is seen once the stimulation is over.

Even though the influence of the central nervous system and the cerebral cortex area of the brain are limited in producing an erection, it can make the penis go flaccid if necessary. That is the reason why certain turnoffs have to be evaded in order to prevent such a situation from setting in. It is also the reason why confidence levels and a positive attitude plays an important role in staying erect with better performance in bed while negative influences can cause problems like erectile dysfunction, impotence and premature ejaculation.
