Penile prosthesis

What is a Penile prosthesis? 

Penile prosthesis surgery is the process of implants being placed within the penis to treat erectile dysfunctions. 

How is Penile prosthesis surgery done? 

Two types of implants can be used during the penile prosthesis implantation: the inflatable implants and the semirigid rods. Penile prosthesis surgery is often operated under general anesthesia. During the operation, a cut is done below the top of the penis, the sponge-like tissue within the penis will be extended, and the implant will be placed at the area. 

The implant size can be personalized by the body measurements of the patient. Then, the incisions are stitched back together to complete the procedure. The entire operation lasts about an hour. 

The reasons for having a Penile prosthesis

A penile prosthesis is an operation that is preferred by men who are having erectile dysfunctions and are not suitable for the other types of treatment to cure the issue. 

After the Penile prosthesis operation

Following the operation of the penile implant, patients require medication to relieve the pain. The patients can experience mild pain for a few weeks after the operation. It takes about a month for the patients to return to their regular daily activities, including sexual activities. It might also take a while to get used to using the implant device.

Infection, internal erosion, and possible issues that can be seen with the implants are the most common complications that are seen with penile prosthesis implantation.
