Penile Implants in San Antonio, TX
What is Erectile Dysfunction?
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is defined as difficulty in getting and maintaining an erection that is firm enough for sex. This condition is very common, and is actually the most frequent sexual health complaint from men of all ages.
What are Penile Implants?
Penile implants, also known as penile prostheses, are medical devices designed to restore erectile function in men. This can be for those who experience persistent difficulties achieving or maintaining an erection.
Why Penile Implants?
While many treatment options exist for erectile dysfunction, penile implants are considered a long-term solution for those who haven’t found success with other interventions.
Many men report the following benefits of a penile implant:
- A reliable solution
- Allows for spontaneity in sexual activity
- Erections can be achieved at any time
- Improved quality of life
- Overall increased sexual satisfaction and function
How Does the AMS 700™ Inflatable Implant Work?
The AMS 700 Penile Implant most closely mimics a natural erection,
providing rigidity when inflated and a natural, flaccid appearance
when deflated.
- Designed to be a permanent solution for ED
- Spontaneous — you can have sex when the mood strikes
- Once activated, the erection can last as long as you desire
- Entirely contained inside the body — no one knows you have an
implant unless you tell them - Designed to feel natural during intercourse and typically does not
interfere with ejaculation or orgasm 3,4 - Broad range of lengths available for a custom fit, depending on
your anatomy - Cylinders that expand in length and girth
- Pre-treated with antibiotics to reduce the risk of infection
