Surgery For Erectile Dysfunction
The first thing the doctor will do is to ensure that the patient is getting the right treatment for any underlying health conditions that could be resulting in or worsening the erectile dysfunction. Depending on the severity and cause of the erectile dysfunction and any underlying health issue, the doctors will offer you various treatment options. The doctors explain the benefits and risks of each treatment as well and will consider the preferences of a patient. The preferences of a man’s partner also might play a significant role in the treatment options. In case of patients where medications are not effective, then the doctor might suggest the surgical procedures to treat erectile dysfunction. There are two forms of procedures that a male might use including the penile implants and vascular surgery.
Penile implant
A penile implant also known as prosthesis is useful to place it in the penis. There are two different types of these penile implants. An inflatable implant helps you to use a pump to make the penis bigger. On the other hand, a malleable implant might allow you to manually adjust the position of your penis.
