Is a penile implant visible or noticeable?
Penile implants are not visible when the penis is flaccid. When the penis is erect, the implant provides rigidity and allows for sexual activity. However, the appearance and feel of the penis with an implant can vary depending on the specific type and design of the implant.
Can a penile implant be removed or reversed?
Penile implants can be removed if necessary. However, the decision to remove an implant is typically made in cases of complications or if the individual wishes to explore alternative treatments. Reversing the effects of the implant may not always be possible, and it's important to discuss the potential outcomes with a healthcare professional.
Can a penile implant be used for enlargement purposes?
Penile implants are not intended for cosmetic enlargement of the penis. Their primary purpose is to treat erectile dysfunction and restore the ability to achieve and maintain an erection for sexual activity
How long does a penile implant last?
Penile implants are designed to be long-lasting. The durability of the implant depends on various factors, such as the type of implant, the individual's lifestyle, and adherence to proper care and maintenance. In general, penile implants have a high success rate and can last for many years.
Can a penile implant affect sensation or orgasm?
Penile implants do not typically affect sensation or orgasm. The implant is designed to provide rigidity for sexual activity, but it does not interfere with nerve function or the pleasurable sensations associated with sexual stimulation and orgasm.
