Penile Implant in Bangkok for Erectile Dysfunction and Peyronie’s Disease
A penile implant is a specialized solution designed to help men with erectile dysfunction (ED) and conditions like Peyronie’s disease achieve and maintain an erection. This option is typically considered when other treatments, such as oral medications, injections, or vacuum devices, have not been effective. For men with Peyronie’s disease, which causes painful curvature of the penis due to scar tissue, a penile implant can not only restore erectile function but also help straighten the penis, improving both function and appearance.
Treatment Options
There are several types of penile implants available, each offering unique benefits:
-
Inflatable Penile Implant
-
The most common type, this implant includes two inflatable cylinders placed inside the penis, a pump located in the scrotum, and a reservoir in the abdomen. This design allows for a natural-feeling erection when the pump is activated and a flaccid state when deflated. It is highly effective but involves more components that could potentially malfunction.
-
-
Malleable (Semi-Rigid) Implant
-
This option involves bendable rods that are implanted in the penis. While always firm, the penis can be positioned either for sexual activity or concealment. This type of implant is simpler to use and has a lower risk of mechanical failure but may be less natural in appearance.

-
Three-Piece Inflatable Implant
-
This advanced system offers the most natural results, with a separate pump, reservoir, and cylinders. It provides a firm erection and a flaccid state when not in use but requires a more complex surgical procedure.
-
For men with Peyronie’s disease, the implant can help correct the curvature by straightening the penis as the inflatable cylinders are expanded. In some cases, additional techniques are performed during the surgery to manually reduce the curvature.
