The penile prosthesis is a medical device used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in men. Erectile dysfunction is a common problem that affects men of all ages and can impact their sexual and emotional well-being.

The penile prosthesis works by supporting and enhancing erection by strengthening and directing blood flow to the erectile tissues of the penis, thus improving blood circulation and consequently increasing the strength and sustainability of the erection.

The penile prosthesis consists of several parts, including a flexible rod placed inside the penis to support it, connecting tubes that direct blood flow, and control valves to regulate the erection process.

The penile prosthesis is used as a solution for men who do not respond to traditional medical treatments for erectile dysfunction or for men who have prostate enlargement and face difficulty achieving and maintaining an erection.

The penile prosthesis implantation surgery is performed by a specialized surgeon in plastic surgery or general surgery and requires a recovery period after the procedure. The patient may experience some pain and discomfort in the early days after surgery, but pain is controlled with medication.

It is important that penile prosthesis implantation surgery is supervised by a specialized surgeon and that the patient is provided with all necessary information about the procedure and the potential expectations of treatment. The penile prosthesis is an effective solution for men experiencing erectile dysfunction and contributes to improving their sexual and emotional quality of life.
