What Is a Malleable Penile Prosthesis?
As one of the most experienced Miami urologist offices, we have seen many different kinds of surgeries and procedures that our customers and patients have elected to undergo. Perhaps one of the most popular ones are penile implants. These are extremely beneficial to men who are suffering from erectile dysfunction because it helps them achieve erections that are firm enough for sexual intercourse. If you are familiar with these kinds of penile implants, you may be wondering if a malleable one is the right choice for you. To learn more about a malleable penile prosthesis, continue reading below to learn more from Dr. Edward Gheiler.
Benefits of a Malleable Penile Implant
A malleable penile implant is much different than an inflatable implant. This is because inflatable penile implants use a pump and fluid mechanism to produce an erection. A malleable penile prosthesis makes it possible for men who are suffering from severe ED to have an erection by manipulating two flexible rods that are inserted into the penis. These malleable prostheses are recommended for men who have severe ED that cannot be cured with medications and other treatments like vacuum erection devices. Also, malleable penis implants provide another benefit because they are an excellent option for those that do not experience any results when they get an inflatable one. Lastly, another benefit of a malleable penis implant is the technology has advanced in such a manner that the implants feel natural and are easy to use.
Benefits of a Malleable Penile Implant
Malleable penile rods work by being able to be bent into different positions. When these rods are inserted into the penis, the person who has the implant will be able to shape his penis into any position that he wants to. When it is time for sexual activity, the user will shape the penis into an erection until they want to manually shape it back into another shape.
