Table of Contents [Hide]

At Urology Surgery Center , we believe in empowering our patients through top-notch care and comprehensive education. Penile implant maintenance is a vital part of ensuring that your journey with us remains smooth, worry-free, and positively life-changing. By valuing both the wellbeing and satisfaction of our patients, we're dedicated to providing guidance and assistance every step of the way. So, take a moment to relax, read on, and discover how our committed team works to maintain your implant's longevity and optimal performance.

Before diving into maintenance, it's important to understand what penile implants are and how they work. These medical devices are designed to aid men who experience erectile dysfunction (ED). The goal is to restore sexual function and confidence, allowing you to enjoy intimacy once again.

They come in a few different styles, but mainly, there are inflatable and semi-rigid types. Inflatable implants mimic a natural erection more closely by using a pump placed in the scrotum. On the other hand, semi-rigid rods provide a firm penis that can be manually positioned as needed.

Right after receiving your penile implant, it's crucial to follow all postoperative instructions provided by your surgeon. These directions are tailored to help you heal properly and make sure your implant will work as intended.

During the initial healing period, you'll have limited physical activities and be given care techniques specific to your situation. Following these closely is the key to a successful start.

Once healed, taking care of your penile implant becomes part of your daily routine. But don't worry, it's nothing too time-consuming or complicated it's all about simple yet essential habits.

Cleaning is crucial. For inflatable implants, it's also important to cycle the device as instructed. This means inflating and deflating your implant regularly, even if you aren't sexually active, to keep it functioning smoothly.

Just like any other medical device, penile implants require regular check-ups. These visits allow us to ensure that everything is working right and that you're not experiencing any complications.

We also use these appointments to answer any questions and address any concerns you might have. It's always better to ask and be in the clear than to worry in silence.

Maintaining your penile implant may sound like a chore, but it's pretty straightforward. With just a few simple steps, you can make sure your implant serves you well for years to come. Let's break down the maintenance process into something less daunting, shall we?

Good hygiene is at the forefront of daily implant care. Regular showering and keeping the genital area clean is a no-brainer, but it holds even more significance when you have a penile implant.

For those with inflatable implants, daily cycling, as mentioned earlier, is a good habit. It ensures that all parts of your implant remain in good working order and can prevent potential problems.

Staying in tune with your body is crucial. If you notice any changes in sensations, the way your implant feels, or if you experience any discomfort, don't hesitate to give us a call at (615) 250-9200 .

Even seemingly minor issues can be early warnings, and our team is always here to guide you through any uncertainties you might face.

Professional check-ups might not be something you look forward to, but they're essential for long-term implant health. During these visits, we can assess the implant's function, catch potential issues early, and keep you on the right track for enduring satisfaction and performance.

Our door's always open, and our friendly staff is eager to assist you in scheduling these important appointments.
