Frequently Asked Questions


What is a Penile Implant?

Penile Implants are the devices which are placed inside the penis of the men to help with the erectile dysfunction. These penile implants help to get an erection. There are different types of Penile Implants. They are as follows:

  1. Inflatable implants
  2. Semirigid rods

Inflatable implants: These are the most common devices used for Penile implant surgery. These can be inflated to get an erection and deflated at the other times. Three-piece inflatable implants are also used where a fluid-filled reservoir implanted below the abdominal wall, a small pump and a release valve are placed in the scrotum and two inflatable cylinders inside the penis. To get an erection,  pump the fluid from the reservoir into the cylinders. This fluid can be drained back into the cylinder by releasing the valve which is present inside the scrotum. The two-piece inflatable device also works in a similar way, but the only difference is the fluid reservoir is part of the pump placed in the scrotum.

Semirigid rods: Semirigid devices are the firm devices which can be bent in any way from the body for the sexual activity and also towards the body for concealment.
