Treating Erectile Dysfunction with Implants in Elizabethtown, KY

Erectile dysfunction is a very common disease. It affects over half of men between the ages of forty and seventy. Around fifty two percent of men suffer from some form of erectile dysfunction.

Out of all of the treatments that we have for erectile dysfunction, P and L implant by far exceeds in satisfaction rate, and most of my patients come out of implant wishing they would have had it sooner. The implant restores a patient's natural anatomy. A man's erection is obtained by blood filling the two natural water balloons within the penis called the corpora cavernosum. We replace that with two water balloons basically is what I tell patients.

There's a small pump within the scrotum that when they want an erection, they reach for the pump, squeeze the pump to send water into those cylinders for a reservoir that's in the abdomen, and then they have their erection. The procedure is one small incision right above the base of the penis. Through that, we're able to perform the entire procedure. There's some discomfort and swelling.

Most men go home, rest and relax, and then most guys are using their implant about a month after placement. Erectile dysfunction does not just impact a man man physically. It impacts a man on a deeply emotional level, and because of that, it oftentimes affects their partner as well as their loved ones. Men don't wanna be intimate just because they know that they can engage in sexual activity if it comes to that.

So I really believe a lot of patients really do feel whole again, truly like a man again, just by having the implant. And so to be able to provide that service here in Hardeen County and the surrounding areas is really truly an honor.
