Penile Prosthesis (Implant)

Penile Prosthesis (Implant) - Restore Confidence, Spontaneity, and Satisfaction

 

What Is a Penile Implant?

 

A penile implant is a discreet, permanent solution for men experiencing erectile dysfunction (ED). It provides reliable support for an erection whenever desired, without the need for medications or external devices. Patients consistently report high satisfaction rates, with a 97% satisfaction rating for penile implants like the AMS brand (Bernal et al., Adv Urol. 2012;2012:707321).

 

When Should You Consider a Penile Implant?

 

If oral medications or other ED treatments aren’t effective, your urologist may recommend an inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP). The IPP is the most natural and spontaneous treatment option available. It allows men to achieve a firm erection in seconds, offering an intimate experience that closely mimics the body’s natural function.

 

How Does a Penile Implant Work?

 

The inflatable penile prosthesis uses hydraulic technology to create an erection. During the procedure, a urologist places two soft cylinders inside the penis, replacing the natural tubes (corporal bodies) responsible for erections. These cylinders are filled with sterile saline through a pump implanted in the scrotum.

​

  • Achieving an Erection: Squeeze the pump in the scrotum a few times to transfer the saline into the cylinders, making the penis hard.

  • Returning to Flaccidity: Press an easily accessible release valve on the pump to allow the saline to flow back, making the penis soft again.

 

In some cases, a penile implant may even increase the length and girth of the penis.

 

Types of Penile Implants

 

All penile implants include two cylinders and a pump, but the design may vary. Your urologist will discuss the best option for your anatomy and preferences.

 

3-Piece Inflatable Implant
​

  • Components: Cylinders in the penis, a pump in the scrotum, and a reservoir placed in the groin area.

  • Functionality: Offers the most natural-feeling erection, as the reservoir provides additional hydraulic fluid storage.

​

2-Piece Inflatable Implant
​

  • Components: Cylinders in the penis and a pump in the scrotum.

  • Functionality: A simpler design that uses the cylinders to store the saline, eliminating the need for a separate reservoir.

 

Benefits of a Penile Implant
​

  • Spontaneity: Achieve an erection in seconds, whenever you desire.

  • Discreet Design: Completely concealed within the body.

  • High Satisfaction: Patients report enhanced confidence and satisfaction with their sexual health.

  • No Ongoing Medications: Avoid pills or external devices.
