We believe that with the right information and support, you will navigate this journey with greater ease and clarity.

Penile implants are medical devices designed to help men with erectile dysfunction (ED). They are surgically placed inside the penis, providing the necessary rigidity for intercourse. There are primarily two types of penile implants: inflatable and malleable. Understanding the distinctions between them is crucial for managing expectations and operations.

Inflatable implants typically come in two- or three-piece configurations, allowing you to control when and how long you have an erection. Malleable, or semi-rigid, implants, on the other hand, maintain a firm state and can be positioned manually. Knowledge is power, and understanding your type of implant will serve you well in its operation.

Preparation is key to any successful medical procedure. Knowing what steps to take before surgery can greatly impact the efficacy of the implant and your overall well-being. This includes discussing all aspects of the surgery with your surgeon, understanding the risks, and arranging for post-operative care.

Mentally preparing and having realistic expectations about recovery times and outcomes are also critical. By feeling prepared, you will enhance your ability to handle the post-operative period with greater control and peace of mind.

The period following your surgery is pivotal for healing and adjusting to your penile implant. During this time, following your medical team's instructions is imperative for a successful outcome. You will have to navigate through care routines, medication management, and possibly adjusting your daily activities to facilitate recovery.

Understanding the various stages of healing and when to slowly reintroduce activities is essential for a smooth recovery process. Your well-being is our primary concern, and we are committed to aiding each patient in a return to normalcy with the least amount of discomfort and delay.

Once you are fully healed, becoming skilled in the operation of your penile implant will ensure you can engage in sexual activities with confidence. This section of the guide focuses on providing you with the information to operate your implant safely and effectively.

Whether you have an inflatable or a malleable implant, handling it with care and proficiency will make all the difference in your experience. Remember, if you're ever in need of assistance or have questions about the functionality of your implant, our compassionate team is ready to help at (402) 727-5000.

Inflatable penile implants feature a discrete pump mechanism to initiate and cease erections. Locating the pump (usually positioned in the scrotum) and gently squeezing it will channel fluid into the cylinders in the penis, causing an erection. Releasing the fluid will deflate the implant and return the penis to a natural state.

Getting accustomed to the feel of the pump and practicing control over inflation and deflation are essential to mastering your implant's operation. With time and patience, using the pump will become an intuitive part of your intimate moments.

Malleable implants offer the advantage of a persistent firmness that can be manually adjusted. To engage in sexual activity, you will position the penis into an erect state, and similarly, bending it back down when not in use. Agility in adapting your implant is crucial and comes with practice.

Mastery of your implant's manual adjustment will grant you the freedom to engage in spontaneity, knowing you can rely on your implant's function. It is through this understanding that we see our patients reclaim their autonomy and embrace their journey with renewed vigor.

Just like any sophisticated device, your penile implant requires maintenance to ensure longevity and performance. Regular cleaning, following a healthy lifestyle, and scheduling check-ups are all part of maintaining your implant in optimal condition.

Being diligent about your health and your implant's care routine will not only protect your investment but also contribute to a satisfying sexual health experience. We encourage you to take this aspect seriously and make it a regular part of your self-care regimen.

There may be times when you have questions or encounter concerns regarding your penile implant. Recognizing when to reach out for professional advice is key. If you notice any unusual symptoms, pain, or changes in functionality, it's important to connect with your medical provider promptly.
