Penile implants, also known as penile prostheses, are medical devices used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED). They provide a permanent solution for men who have not had success with other ED treatments. The device is surgically implanted into the penis, allowing you to achieve an erection suitable for intercourse.

Your decision to consider a penile implant is a big step towards reclaiming your sexual health and intimacy. Our team at Surgery Center of Fremont understands the sensitivity of the subject, and we assure you that your care will be handled with the utmost discretion and professionalism.

There are primarily two types of penile implants:

  • Inflatable Implants: These consist of cylinders inserted into the penis, a pump placed in the scrotum, and a fluid reservoir located in the abdomen. They allow for a natural-looking erection and flaccid state when not in use.
  • Semirigid Rods: These implants involve rods that keep your penis firm but bendable. They are simpler and less expensive but can be more conspicuous.

During your consultation, we will discuss which option might be the best fit for you based on your health, lifestyle, and personal preferences.
