Medical Treatments

Penile Prosthesis

A penile prosthesis, also called a penile implant, is a medical device surgically placed inside the penis to help men with erectile dysfunction (ED) achieve and maintain an erection. It is usually recommended when medications, vacuum pumps, or injections do not work. Penile implant surgery can restore sexual function, improve confidence, and enhance quality of life. There are two main types:

Inflatable implants: the most natural option, allowing erections on demand

Malleable (semi-rigid) implants: bendable rods that keep the penis firm but flexible

India has become a popular destination for penile implant surgery because of its expert urologists, advanced hospitals, FDA-approved implants, and cost-effective packages. VivaVel Health helps international patients access confidential, compassionate, and world-class care.

Signs & Symptoms

 Penile prosthesis may be considered when:

Erectile dysfunction persists despite oral medications (Viagra, Cialis, etc.)

Other treatments, like penile injections or vacuum devices, are ineffective.

ED is due to diabetes, prostate surgery, spinal cord injury, or vascular disease.

Peyronie’s disease (severe penile curvature) makes sexual activity difficult.

Causes

 Causes of Erectile Dysfunction (ED):

Diabetes: damages blood vessels and nerves

Heart disease or high blood pressure: limits blood flow to the penis

Spinal cord or pelvic injuries

Prostate surgery or cancer treatment

Hormonal imbalance (low testosterone)

Psychological factors: anxiety, depression, stress

When to seek medical attention?

 See a doctor if you:

Cannot achieve or maintain an erection suitable for sex

Experience painful or severely curved erections

Have ED after prostate or pelvic surgery

Tried ED medications or injections without success

Diagnostics & Tests

 To determine if a penile prosthesis is suitable, doctors may recommend:

Medical history & physical exam

Blood tests: to check hormones, diabetes, or vascular health

Ultrasound (Doppler test): to assess blood flow in the penis

Psychological evaluation: to ensure patient and partner expectations are realistic

Do’s & Don’ts

 Do’s:

Take prescribed antibiotics and pain medications

Keep the surgical site clean and dry

Follow up regularly with your doctor

Wait for the doctor’s approval before resuming sexual activity

 Don’ts:

Avoid strenuous activity for 4–6 weeks

Don’t use the implant before being trained by your doctor

Avoid smoking, which delays healing

Don’t ignore symptoms like fever, swelling, or severe pain

 

 Recovery & Outlook

Most patients return to normal activities in 2–3 weeks

Sexual activity usually resumes in 4–6 weeks

Penile implants are discreet- no one can tell from the outside

High success and satisfaction rates (85–90%) among men and their partners

Modern implants can last 10-15 years or more
