The use of skin graft is no longer the best solution for penile reconstruction. One of the many benefits of the Egydio Technique, which has evolved over the last 20 years, is that it is no longer necessary to insert the penile graft. The graft is a tissue used in urology for penile reconstruction. It is usually removed from other parts of the patient's body or from animal’s tissues, such as the submucosa of pigs or bovine pericardium.

Erection problems are more common than we think. With different degrees of intensity, erectile dysfunction can range from mild to severe and reach not only older men but also younger men. It turns out that fear or shame in talking about it causes many men to hide. The prejudice and lack of information about the great chance of cure that treatments bring ends up compromising their sexual and, consequently, social life.

Before we start talking about man's sexual health, let us agree on one thing: Sex is great! Moreover, it is not just for your well-being and self-esteem. The sexual activity also brings countless physical benefits, such as relief from migraine attacks, improvements in the appearance of the skin, decreased stress, better quality of sleep and many other factors that directly affect your daily life.

When it comes to erectile dysfunction or diseases that affect penile anatomy and the quality of sex life, people usually get embarrassed or feel discomfort, usually they are not ready to talk about this kind of issue with their family and friends.

To talk about penile prosthesis is always a delicate issue. Many men do not like to talk about it, because they do not want to think there is something wrong with their inseparable friend.Nonetheless, this discussion is important because the prosthesis can resume the sex life to those who suffer from some kind of erectile dysfunction, such as the aging process or problems like Peyronie's disease, diabetes or the consequences of prostate cancer. Therefore, this is a recurring subject here on the blog.
