Best clinics of Penile prosthesis in Turkey

What causes Erectile Dysfunction (ED)?

Erectile dysfunction is a clinical disorder that occurs in case of weak blood flow in the phallus or damaged nerves. It can also result from stress or psychological conditions. This trouble may also be a premature sign of a more serious disease, like: arterial sclerosis, cardiovascular disease, or Diabetes.

The most known physical reasons of ED (erectile dysfunction) are related to blood circulation and pressure. Heart conditions, arterial sclerosis, hypercholesterolemia and hypertension can all affect the blood flow in the penis. Diabetes lead to ED by damaging the veins and the nerves.

The Penile Prosthesis Procedure: a third-line treatment

To improve penis function and treat erectile dysfunction, several methods are offered by doctors such as:

Medication

This is the first-line treatment and is in the form of oral medication (Viagra, Cialis). However, these drugs are not advised for people with heart conditions.

The injection of a vasodilator molecule

The injection of electrogenic substances makes it possible to have a fast erection of good quality (second line treatment). It is done by a general surgeon in a hospital or a clinic, under local anesthesia.

Penile prosthesis procedure

Penile prosthesis procedure is a third-line surgical treatment. It is offered to people for whom the other two types of treatment are not effective. The penile prosthesis is a palliative surgery.

There are three types of implant: semi-rigid, two-piece inflatable and three-piece inflatable prostheses.

What is the Penile Implant?

A Penile prosthetic device is an implant placed inside the phallus to allow men to regain their erections. A penile implant is generally suggested after the failure of other ED treatments.

This medical device is often used for men with psychogenic impotence (inability to obtain an erection).

A penis brace may also help treat severe symptoms of an illness that causes scarring inside the phallus muscles. This condition may lead to curved erections and pain sensation (Peyronie’s disease).

Types of penile implants:

• Semi-rigid (non Inflatable penile Implants);
• Two-piece Inflatable Implants;
• Multicomponent (three-piece Inflatable Implants).

Penile prosthesis procedure is the last treatment option for men with erectile dysfunction. It is the third-line option after other nonsurgical medical procedures, such as drugs and injections fail.

Penile Implant is a life lasting surgical solution. It substitutes the spongy tissue inside the phallus using cylinders that are entirely hidden within the body.

How does it work?

By pressing the mechanical device that comes with the prosthesis, the pump liberate the saline in the cylinders causing an erection. Pressing the deflation valve situated under the pump will inverse the process. The liquid will return into the container and the phallus will be deflated.

Reasons to have a Penile Implant

A penile implant when the sexual dysfunction is impossible to be treated naturally or with medication. These troubles can include:

• Erectile dysfunction (ED);
• Congenital deformities;
• Iatrogenic (treatment side effects, such as prostatectomy);
• Penile trauma;
• Micropenis (very small phallus) or Peyronie's disease.

This option is only considered when minimally invasive and nonsurgical treatments have been useless. For example, many medicines used to treat ED, such Viagra, are dangerous for patients with a heart condition. Indeed, they may react with other drugs.

A penile prosthesis can also be used during phalloplasty (a plastic surgery that aims to restore the phallus) or penis enlargement.

In some cases of genital phalloplasty, a semi-rigid implant is implanted for the three postoperative months, to prevent penile retraction.
