How do Penile Implants Work?
There are two different penile implants to consider – an inflatable implant or a flexible implant:
Inflatable Implant
An inflatable penile implant is the best and most popular ,and gives a more natural erection, very similar to your own erection before you developed ED.
- There are three parts to the inflatable implant, which are all connected by silicone tubings:
- A reservoir (placed in the abdomen) where the fluid is located when the penis is flaccid
- Two cylinders (placed in the shaft of the penis) which fill with fluid to give the erection
- A pump (placed in the scrotum between the testicles) which transfers the fluid from the reservoir to the cylinders
When you squeeze the pump, fluid (usually sterile normal saline) is moved from the reservoir into the penile cylinders, creating an erection. When you press the deflate button on the pump, the fluid moves out of the penis and back into the reservoir for a natural looking flaccid penis”
Malleable/Flexible Implant
A malleable penile implant consists of two firm but flexible rods that are placed into the shaft of the penis.
There are no other parts to this implant, so the device is simpler. To have an erection, you simply hold the penis and move it into the desired position. When you are finished, you bend it back down, or to the side, to conceal it. This implant suits those with limited dexterity.
These implants give good rigidity to the penis, but do not affect the width or length of the penis, and it cannot be made flaccid, so the penis is always “erect”, just bend away to conceal the device.
98% of patients have reported they are satisfied with the inflatable Penile Implant.
Both implant types are custom fitted to your body and allow you to have a satisfactory erection for sexual intercourse. Your sensitivity and ability to ejaculate should not be affected.
Dr. Christopher Love will help you decide which implant is right for you. He will carefully consider your medical condition, lifestyle, and personal preferences to help you weigh the pros and cons.
