What to Expect from a Penile Implant
A penile implant is a long-term treatment option for ED. It’s typically recommended when other treatments haven’t provided satisfactory results. It’s a discreet, effective solution that allows for reliable, on-demand erections.
There are two main types of penile implants:
- Inflatable penile prostheses (IPPs): These are the most commonly used implants today. They include a pair of inflatable cylinders placed inside the penis, a fluid reservoir, and a small pump. The pump is placed in the scrotum and is used to inflate and deflate the cylinders. Inflatable implants offer the most natural appearance and feel, both when erect and flaccid.
- Malleable (semi-rigid) implants: These consist of bendable rods placed in the penis. The penis can be manually positioned for intercourse or to be concealed. They are simpler and may be a good choice for some men.
The decision about the best penile implant is based on a thorough discussion between the patient and the doctor. Factors that may influence the choice include:
- Medical history and surgical risks
- Hand strength or dexterity (important for using the pump with inflatable devices)
- Personal preference and lifestyle
- Partner input, if applicable
The implant procedure is performed under anesthesia and usually takes less than an hour. Most patients go home the same day. Full recovery often takes a few weeks, and patients typically return to sexual activity in 4 to 6 weeks, depending on their healing process.
Men who receive a penile implant often report high satisfaction. This is not just about function returning. It’s also about feeling in control and improving emotional well-being.
