There are currently 3 main types of penile implants available
(mechanical, inflatable, or hydraulic). Two synthethic cylinders
are surgically placed inside the corpora cavernosa of the
penis. After 4 - 6 weeks you would be ready to engage in
sex.

There is a risk of infection (from surgery) and of malfunction
of the device. This treatment is irreversible and should
be considered a last resort.
This device can be hidden and fitted to your body. Many
of these rods may be inserted on an outpatient basis with
a local anaesthetic.
The surgery is not reversible and all erections require
the implant, so it must be worn for life. Erection is achieved
through the implant parts, not the flow of blood into the
penis. |
