Penile implant: The last ditch erectile dysfunction cure. If you haven’t had results with medication, haven’t seen results with lifestyle changes, and have all but given up hope of ever being able to achieve an erection again, a penile implant may be right for you.
If you’re considering getting a penile implant for fight your ED, you should talk to your doctor after doing extensive research into what might be best for you. There are two types of penile implants: semi-rigid and inflatable.
The semi-rigid implant is a series of rods that are put into the erection chamber. Because these rods are non-inflatable, the penis is always in a semi-erect state. Using these rods, the penis can be bent into position for sexual intercourse.
On the other hand is the inflatable implant. Just like the name implies, this is an inflatable cylinder that is placed in the erection chamber. A pump that fills this cylinder with saline is installed in the scrotum. When the man wishes to achieve an erection, he simply pumps the implant until he has reached an erect state.
Both implants have pros and cons. If you’ve found no luck in any other forms of ED treatment, penile implants could be your best option.
