When can intercourse be resumed after penile implant surgery?

After the penile prosthesis implant surgery, the man can resume sexual activity after 4 to 6 weeks. This may vary depending on each patient and the type of surgery performed. This time of abstinence allows the tissues to heal, the wounds to heal and the corpora cavernosa to get used to the silicone rods and generate new vascular networks.

How is sex with a penile implant? Will I be able to have orgasms and ejaculate?

Thanks to the sophisticated design of the latest generation of penile prostheses and state-of-the-art surgical techniques, sexual intercourse with a penile prosthesis is now completely natural and with high satisfaction rates. In fact, very recent evidence (here you can read the Sexual Medicine Review paper) analyzing the statistics of penile prostheses has shown the following:

"The main outcome measure is patient satisfaction after penile prosthesis surgery. In our study, patient satisfaction reaches 90%."

These are the main characteristics of sexual relations after penile prosthesis implantation:

Orgasms: Having a penile prosthesis will not prevent a man from reaching the climax of the sexual act, on the contrary, when a man manages to recover erections thanks to the implant, he will also recover orgasms that he probably had not experienced for a long time.
Ejaculation: No penile nerves or structures involved in ejaculation (prostate, seminiferous vesicles, ejaculatory ducts and urethra) are affected during surgery, therefore, ejaculation and reproductive capacity will remain intact.
Erection: Thanks to the penile implant, erections can last as long as the man desires, despite climax and ejaculation, the penis will remain erect until the mechanism is manually deactivated or the semi-rigid prosthesis is bent downwards.

How does the penile prosthesis work?

Thanks to the latest technological advances and the updating of new designs, penile prostheses are very easy to use, in less than half a minute a hydraulic prosthesis is activated (the malleable implant is activated immediately). With just a few days of practice, its manipulation will be very simple regardless of the type of penile prosthesis.

Safety and confidence after
penile prosthesis implantation

Men who have undergone surgery often gain self-esteem and break down the barriers and obstacles they suffered from erectile dysfunction. The sexual life of these men takes a complete turn and what was once shame and fear, becomes security, self-esteem and self-confidence.

Although a small adaptation process is needed to get used to certain issues, the prosthesis not only restores men’s sexual activity, but also restores their quality of life. Thanks to its anatomical design and its very physiological system, if the patient does not wish to communicate it, the partner will not notice that it is a prosthesis. In the FAQ section we try to answer all the most recurrent questions of our patients.

Functioning of the hydraulic penile prosthesis

The hydraulic prostheses can be discreetly activated and deactivated, allowing men to have sex naturally and without interruption. The duration and rigidity of the erection is controlled by the amount of fluid injected into the cylinders, allowing men to maintain an erection for as long as they desire. This is how a hydraulic penile implant works:

It consists of two silicone cylinders that are implanted in the corpora cavernosa of the penis and a fluid reservoir that is placed in the abdomen.
The cylinders are connected to a piping system and a hand pump that is located in the scrotum.
When the man desires an erection, he activates the hand pump, which causes fluid to be transferred from the reservoir to the inside of the cylinders, creating a rigidity similar to that of a natural erection.
To deflate the prosthesis, the man presses a valve that releases the fluid back into the reservoir.

Functioning of the malleable or semi-rigid penile prosthesis

The malleable prostheses are simple and easy to use, and do not require a pump or to be activated, they allow sexual intercourse very similar to that of a physiological erection, but without detumescence or sudden loss of erection. The duration of the erection depends on how long the man wishes to keep the rods in erect position.

The great advantage of the penile implant over other treatments is that it is a definitive solution to the problem of impotence. Its useful life is very high, practically for almost all life and the more use it is given, contrary to what might be thought, the better, because it keeps the mechanism of the implant in proper functioning. According to a very recent article in the prestigious magazine Urology, there is evidence that inflatable prostheses have an average life of 20 years:

Having said that, from our experience we can contribute that in the different Andromedi centers in Madrid, Seville, Tenerife and Marbella, we have treated men up to 25 years old using a penile prosthesis, without the slightest eventuality.

The malleable prosthesis is composed of two flexible metal rods covered with silicone which, like the hydraulic ones, are implanted in the corpora cavernosa.
The cylinders are flexible, but maintain their shape when placed in an upright position, supporting axial loads.
To get an erection, the man simply manually bends the rods to the erect position.
When you want to conceal it discreetly, the man can flex the rods downwards, remaining discreet under the clothing.
