Erectile dysfunction (ED) can significantly impact a man’s confidence and intimate relationships. While treatments like medications and therapies can help many, they may not work for everyone. Penile prosthesis surgery offers a long-term solution, enabling men to regain sexual function and confidence.


What is Penile Prosthesis Surgery?

Penile prosthesis surgery is a procedure designed to treat erectile dysfunction, especially when other treatments fail. The surgery involves implanting a device inside the penis that helps achieve and maintain erections. The procedure doesn’t affect urination, ejaculation, or the sensation of orgasm, but it does restore the ability for penetrative sex. It’s important to note that the surgery doesn’t enlarge the penis; it ensures rigidity during intercourse.



Types of Penile Implants

There are two main types of penile implants:


  1. Non-Hydraulic (Semi rigid) Prosthesis: These are simpler and have fewer mechanical parts, reducing the chances of malfunction. The downside is that the penis remains semi-rigid, which can make it difficult to conceal and less natural in appearance.


  2. Hydraulic (Inflatable) Prosthesis: This popular option involves a more sophisticated mechanism. The implant consists of inflatable cylinders inside the penis, a fluid reservoir, and a pump in the scrotum. Men can inflate the device to achieve an erection and deflate it afterward. This type provides a more natural look and feel and is easier to conceal under clothing.

Who Is a Candidate for Penile Prosthesis Surgery?

This surgery is ideal for men who have tried other treatments without success. It’s especially suited for:

  • Men with hormone imbalances affecting sexual function.

  • Men over 40, as age often contributes to ED (Erectile Dysfunction).

  • Those with lifestyle factors like heavy smoking or drinking, which can worsen ED.

  • Individuals with psychological conditions such as depression or anxiety that can affect erectile function.

  • Men who struggle with ejaculation issues or an inability to control ejaculation.


Pre-Surgery Preparation

Preparing for the surgery is crucial to ensure a smooth procedure and recovery:

  • Consult a specialist: The doctor will evaluate your medical history and recommend the best type of implant for your needs.

  • Pre-surgery fasting: Avoid food and drink for 6-8 hours before surgery.

  • Medication adjustments: Stop taking blood-thinning supplements and medications as instructed by your doctor.

  • Quit smoking and alcohol: Avoid these for at least a week before surgery to aid in the healing process.


The Surgery Process

Penile prosthesis surgery typically lasts 1-2 hours under general anesthesia. A small incision is made at the base of the penis or scrotum to insert the implant. For inflatable implants, the reservoir is placed in the abdomen, and the cylinders are positioned inside the penis, connected via a pump in the scrotum. The incisions are then closed with dissolvable stitches.


Post-Surgery Care

After surgery, proper care is essential for a successful recovery:

  • Keep the wound dry: Avoid getting the incision wet for a few days. Clean your body with a damp towel.

  • Take prescribed medications: Follow the doctor’s instructions on pain relief and antibiotics.

  • Avoid erections: For the first 1-2 weeks, avoid situations that may cause an erection.

  • Limit physical activity: Avoid heavy lifting and exercise for 1-2 weeks.

  • Resume sexual activity: Typically, sexual activity can be resumed after 6 weeks, allowing the body enough time to heal.
