Penile Tissue helped rabbits with Erectile Dysfunction
Humans are not the only ones that suffer from Erectile Dysfunction, rabbits can have problems with their sex lives as well. According to a recent study on these little bunnies, male rabbits that were implanted with artificial penile tissue showed an improvement in sexual function and a boost in libido. According to several doctors conducting the study this technique is not available for men but could become an alternative treatment for those who do suffer from Erectile Dysfunction in the future.
The study was posted on Healthday early November and according to researcher’s blood and muscle cells were taken from male rabbit’s erectile tissue and then recreated in a lab. Once completed the artificial penile tissue was surgically put back into the rabbits penis and in under 4 weeks researchers started seeing improvements in the rabbit’s sexual function.
Can this be an alternative to meds such as Cialis, Viagra or Levitra?
Erectile dysfunction medications do not work on some men and alternative methods are used to treat them. According to one of the researchers that worked on this study:
(Dr. MCullough)
“Men are getting older and getting sicker, and the pills aren’t working," he explains. "So this could be a huge advance in the treatment of erectile dysfunction.”
Researchers believe that this artificial penile tissue treatment could become available to all men but not in the near future. It could still take up to 10 years for it to get tested and approved.
