Penile prosthesis, is a medical device that is surgically implanted inside the penis to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in men. A penile prosthesis is typically made up of two or three components, including a fluid-filled reservoir that is implanted in the abdomen or scrotum, a pump that is implanted in the scrotum, and one or two flexible cylinders that are implanted inside the penis. When the patient wants to have an erection, they activate the pump, which sends fluid from the reservoir into the cylinders, causing the penis to become rigid and erect. Penile prosthesis surgery is typically recommended for men who have not had success with other treatments for ED, such as oral medications, penile injections, or vacuum erection devices.
What is Urology?
Urology is a branch of science that deals with the medical and surgical treatment of kidneys, urinary canals called ureters, bladder, prostate, penis, sperm sacs, eggs and sperm ducts in men, and all kinds of diseases of organs other than sexual activity in women. Urologists deal with congenital abnormalities, inflammations, cancers and dysfunctions of these organs. Although urology is classified as a surgical specialty, internal medicine, pediatrics, gynecology and other specialist knowledge is required by the urologist due to the wide variety of clinical problems encountered.
