What Are the Benefits of Penile Implants for Erectile Dysfunction?

Erectile dysfunction impacts more than just a man's sex life. It can impact all areas of his life. When a man's sex life is diminished due to erection problems, he can suffer from a lack of self-esteem, he can develop depression, his work performance can be inhibited, his personal relationships can suffer and more. While erectile dysfunction medications and supplements may be an option, many men are turning to penile implants because they offer more benefits over medications and supplements.

General Benefits

• Penile implants enable men to return to having satisfying, active sex lives with their partners. Unlike other types of erectile dysfunction treatments, penile implants offer a long-term solution. All penile implants are designed to feel natural before, during and after sex for both the man and the partner in his life. Penile implants are guaranteed to work every time and they do not interfere with orgasm.

Benefits of Non-Inflatable Implants

• Non-inflatable penile implants are easy to use. This is especially important for men who have problems using their hands due to injury or arthritis. Men simply have to bend up their penis to engage in sexual intercourse. Non-inflatable penile implants allow men to have permanent erections. They do not have to pump up their implants which mean they and their partners can be very spontaneous and there are no devices visible on the outer body. Lastly, non-inflatable penile implants are the least expensive of all types of implants and the surgery to implant them are the least invasive.

Benefits of Two-Piece Inflatable Implants

• Two-piece inflatable penile implants are ideal for men who do not want erections 24/7. The pump is easy to use and even men who have limited dexterity find that the pump is not difficult to inflate. In regards to inflatable implants, the surgery to install the two-piece implant is simpler than other varieties and less fluid is transferred to obtain erections.

Benefits of Three-Piece Inflatable Implants

• Three-piece inflatable implants are popular because it becomes the most rigid of all the inflatable penile implants that are available. The pump on the three-piece implant is easier to use than the two-piece devise and it comes with a pressure release valve so the penis can be quickly deflated. When the penis is not inflated it offers the highest level of softness so discomfort is not felt when men are going about their daily routines. It also features the most normal looking penis whether the penis is erect or flaccid.

Considerations
