What is Penile Prosthesis Implantation?

In today's society, it is easy to have male diseases, especially the condition of penile erection, which not only affects the sexual life of couples, but also makes men very embarrassed. Therefore, certain methods are used to improve it, one of which is penile prosthesis implantation. So, what is penile prosthesis implantation? Let's take a detailed look at it below.

With the worsening of environmental pollution and the decline of people's physical fitness, erectile dysfunction (ED), especially severe ED, is no longer a common disease among middle-aged and elderly people. According to authoritative reports, it is estimated that there are as many as 100 million patients with erectile dysfunction in my country. It can be seen that erectile dysfunction is a common disease among adult men, which seriously affects the quality of life and physical and mental health of couples. Penile prosthesis implantation is undoubtedly the best treatment option for these patients who have not been effectively treated with various treatment methods.

Penile prosthesis implantation has been carried out in the United States since 1936, but there was no satisfactory material at that time. Later, with the development of high technology in the medical field, the materials of this prosthesis have been constantly updated, and high-quality prostheses have been continuously introduced. There are generally three types of prostheses: rigid, semi-rigid and expandable. In order to improve the success rate of surgery and patient satisfaction, most doctors and patients now choose to use expandable prostheses.

This inflatable prosthesis is divided into three parts, namely a three-piece set, including two hollow cylinders, a fluid storage bag and a pump. This operation is simple to say, but it has very high requirements for the environment of the hospital operating room. If the operating room environment does not meet the requirements, the patient's infection rate will increase, and the possibility of surgical failure will be greater. During the operation, two hollow cylinders need to be inserted into the penis, a fluid storage sac is inserted in front of the bladder, and a small pump is inserted into the penis. A catheter connects the three. Normally, the fluid is stored in the fluid storage sac and the penis is not erect. During sexual intercourse, the filling valve on the pump is activated to squeeze the fluid in the fluid storage sac into the hollow circle buried in the cavernous body of the penis, causing the penis to erect. After sexual intercourse, pressing the release valve on the pump can allow the fluid to flow back into the fluid storage sac.

The above is an introduction to the situation of penile prosthesis implantation, and I hope it will be helpful for men to understand. There are many factors that cause male sexual dysfunction, which can be improved by penile prosthesis implantation, but it is best to go to a regular hospital for surgery, which can not only ensure the effectiveness of the treatment, but also be more secure in terms of safety.
