What Is a Penile Prosthesis (Penile Implant), and Who Is It For?
A surgical solution known for high satisfaction in lasting erectile dysfunction that does not respond to medication and other treatments: the penile prosthesis.
A penile prosthesis is a medical device placed inside the penis that provides an erection on demand. It comes up in lasting erectile dysfunction that does not respond adequately to medication and regenerative treatments, and is known for high patient satisfaction.
Who is it for?
- Erectile dysfunction not responding to medical and regenerative (ESWT, PRP) treatments
- Marked penile venous insufficiency (venous leak)
- Advanced loss of erection due to diabetes or vascular causes
- Selected cases with advanced ED alongside Peyronie's
Is it noticeable from outside?
Because the device is placed entirely inside the penis, it is not visible from outside. In inflatable models firmness is achieved on demand; a natural appearance is preserved when deflated.
Are urination and ejaculation affected?
The prosthesis does not affect urination. Sensation of ejaculation is preserved in most patients. Which type is suitable is decided together based on expectations, dexterity and the clinical situation.
Because a penile prosthesis is a permanent choice, a detailed assessment and a realistic-expectations discussion are important before the decision. The whole process is confidential.
