Penile Implant Side Effects

In life, some men may injure their penis due to work or accidents, and may also suffer from impotence. The penis can be said to be a symbol of masculinity, so every man cannot tolerate problems with his penis. If the penis is injured, he will try his best to treat it. Penile prosthesis implantation surgery can be used to treat impotence, etc. So, what are the side effects of penile prosthesis implantation?

Penile prostheses are suitable for patients with organic impotence such as those caused by trauma, pelvic surgery injuries, and pudendal nerves and blood vessels, loss of erectile function, and a small number of patients with stubborn functional impotence who have failed to respond to comprehensive treatments.

Penile prostheses include semi-rigid rod-shaped flexible prostheses, inflatable prostheses, and self-contained hydraulically flexible prostheses. The semi-rigid rod-shaped prosthesis has a simple surgical method, but the penis is in an erect or semi-erect state for a long time. Even if it is modified through clothing, the genitals still appear prominent, which often makes patients feel embarrassed. Inflatable prostheses have complicated surgery and are expensive, but they are naturally erect after implantation and do not affect appearance, so they are deeply loved by young people.

Self-contained hydraulically flexible prosthesis, when pressurized, can have a hardness similar to that of a rod-shaped prosthesis, but the surgical requirements are strict.

Penile prosthesis implantation for the treatment of impotence is a complicated and expensive operation. Certain complications may occur after the operation. Therefore, the surgical indications must be strictly selected. So, which patients are not suitable for penile prosthesis implantation? Patients with acute or chronic organic encephalopathy. Such as stroke, cerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, brain tumor, primary or secondary epilepsy, etc. Those with severe medical diseases who are contraindicated for surgery. For example, patients with congestive heart failure, renal insufficiency, cirrhosis, abnormal liver function, endocrine system diseases, etc. Mental illness or severe depression. Those under 40 to 50 years old, with suspected psychogenic impotence or unclear diagnosis. Those with serious marital problems. Patients with infectious diseases or epidemics, such as active tuberculosis, active hepatitis, and various epidemics. Patients with uncontrolled diabetes, hyperthyroidism, and endocrine diseases caused by hyperadrenalism. Others include those with poor hand-eye coordination, unclear surgical motivations or excessive postoperative expectations, and severe personality disorders. There are also patients with blood diseases.

Those who are dissatisfied with everything and always like to find fault with others and cause trouble. For patients with contraindications to surgery, the reasons why surgery cannot be performed should be explained clearly to the patients. For those whose physical conditions do not allow it, if the couple urgently requests it, surgery can be performed after the impotence is cured and the conditions for surgery are suitable.
