Penile implant surgery involves placing a prosthesis inside the penis to allow men with erectile dysfunction (ED) to achieve an erection. The implants come in two main types: inflatable and malleable rods. Both options are designed to be discreet and to restore sexual function.

This procedure is usually considered after other treatments for ED have failed. It's highly effective and has a high rate of satisfaction among patients. The goal of the surgery is to regain control over your sexual health and improve your quality of life.

Post-op, there will be a recovery period, and it's crucial to follow your doctor's instructions. Typically, you'll need to take it easy for a few weeks. Pain is managed with medication, and most men can return to their routine activities within 4-6 weeks.

It's important to have realistic expectations for your recovery. Each person heals differently, and adjustments to the implant may be necessary to achieve the best results.

We know you have specific worries, and we're here to address them. From the risk of infection to the longevity of the implant, we want you to have all the answers to make an informed decision. Our experts are just a call away at (205) 930-920.

Sit back, relax, and let's cut through the noise. We're committed to providing transparent and accurate information. And remember, if your question isn't answered here, reach out to us on (205) 930-920.

Nobody likes the idea of pain, and it's a totally normal question to ask. The truth is, you'll be under anesthesia during the surgery, so you won't feel a thing. Post-surgery discomfort is expected, but it's manageable with medication-an important part of the healing process.

Remember, we're here to make your experience as smooth as possible. Our goal is for you to be comfortable during every stage of your journey.

It's common to worry about changes in appearance. The good news is, penile implants are designed to be as natural-looking as possible. When not in use, the penis will look relaxed and normal. During an erection, it will be firm, just like a natural erection.

The feel of the implant to you and your partner should also remain natural. Our implants are crafted with the latest technology to ensure a seamless and satisfying sexual experience.

Durability is key. Penile implants are long-lasting and typically serve their purpose excellently for many years. On average, a well-taken-care-of implant can last 10-15 years or more.

Regular check-ups with us can help extend the life of your implant. We'll keep a close eye on its function and make any necessary adjustments.

Your partner may also have concerns, and that's completely valid. Communication is critical here. The implant will not be detectable when you're not having sex, and it shouldn't interfere with intimacy or pleasure.

In fact, many partners are thrilled with the results, as the implant allows for a more spontaneous and enjoyable sexual life. It's a win-win.

Deciding on penile implant surgery requires consideration and consultation. Here at Urology Centers of Alabama , we emphatically support your journey to better sexual health. Our consultations are comprehensive, respecting your needs and privacy.

Eating healthily, quitting smoking, and following specific medical advice from Brian Christine are just a few ways to prepare. We're by your side every step of the way.

Inflatable and malleable implants offer different benefits. Inflatables provide a more natural erection and are hidden when not in use-ideal for many. Malleable implants are more straightforward and can be a good option for those with limited dexterity.

It's a personal choice, and we'll help you make the right one based on your lifestyle and preferences. The decision will be made together, with your best interest at heart.

Not everyone is a candidate for penile implant surgery. We conduct thorough assessments to determine if this procedure is suitable for you. It's not just about treating ED; it's about improving your overall quality of life.

Factors like overall health, bladder function, and feelings about the surgery all play a role. Trust us to give you the comprehensive evaluation you deserve.
