While there is no ideal treatment for everyone with erectile failure, the majority of men can be helped. Viagra has been a great help in treating men with erectile dysfunction but some men do not respond to it. Further, Viagra also fails to work in some men after repeated use. In some men who have had surgery on the penis, mechanical devices may help. There are a variety of mechanical devices and most are easy to implant, are safe and work well.
All consumers should understand that mechanical implants are never the first choice for erectile dysfunction. In simple these devices function like a “dildo”. The first treatment of erectile dysfunction is always drugs or some type of behavior therapy.
Mechanical penile implants have been used for more than 2 decades and are the best treatment for men who simply cannot get an erection.
Penile implants are available in two basic designs- inflatable (hydraulic) implants that can be manually pumped to create an erection and semi rigid (these remain firm all the time).
The vendors of these devices claim that more than 90% of men go on to have a great sex life. The reality is that these devices only work in 50-60 percent of men and they are not problem free. Anything mechanical is always prone to some type of mishap.
Even though penile devices can be easily implanted, things can go wrong. The problems that can occur with penile implants include technical problems, device malfunction, infection, bleeding, pain, or abnormal contour of the penis. Some of these complications means removal of the implant. So before all you men cue up for your implant, talk to someone who has had an implant. Do not always listen to the first physician and get ready for surgery. Be realistic and ask questions. The most important treatment for erectile dysfunction is to get a good doctor.
