Let's plunge into the ocean of understanding about penile implant surgery. At Erlanger East Hospital , we believe in empowering our patients with knowledge. This essential guide from our esteemed [DOCTOR] will navigate you through the preparations necessary for penile implant surgery. Imagine setting sail on a journey with clear skies and calm seas-that's the kind of experience we aim to provide!

And remember, whether you're from the bustling cities or tranquil towns, we cater to patients nationally, and are always just a phone call away at (423) 778-4636 for any questions or to schedule an appointment. Let's dive right in!
Understanding Penile Implant Surgery
First things first: what even is penile implant surgery? It's a surgical procedure to treat erectile dysfunction (ED). Our surgeon places a device inside the penis that can cause an erection. It's a solution for those who haven't found success with other ED treatments. But don't worry, the implant is totally concealed within the body-nobody will be able to tell you've had the surgery.
Now, let's get you familiar with the types of implants. Primarily, there are two types: inflatable and malleable (or rod) implants. Inflatable devices make your penis look more natural when erect, whereas malleable rods keep your penis firm but bendable. There's no one-size-fits-all here; it depends on your needs and lifestyle.
Before the Big Day: Preparation Tips
Let's sail smoothly to your surgery day by laying down some groundwork. Knock out any pre-surgery jitters by knowing exactly what you need to do beforehand. Firstly, you'll undergo several preoperative tests-these are standard to ensure you're fit for surgery. It's like checking the weather before you head out to sea-you want to be ready for what's coming.
Make sure you have a heart-to-heart with our [DOCTOR] about any medications you're taking; some of them might need to be paused. This is also the time to kick smoking to the curb and say "see ya later!" to alcohol as they can impact your recovery. Lastly, plan some downtime post-surgery. You won't be climbing any rigging immediately after, so ensure you have a cozy spot to recover in.
Setting Realistic Expectations
Understanding what to expect after the surgery is key. The implant won't change your sensation or ability to climax-it's all about achieving that sturdy ship mast (a.k.a. an erection). It might take a few weeks until you can test the waters with the implant, but once healed, it's plain sailing in the bedroom.
Also, it's essential to know that implants don't last forever. Like all good ships, they need maintenance, and eventually, replacement. But don't fret! We're talking years of smooth sailing before that's on the horizon.
Charting Your Course to Recovery

After your surgery with Erlanger East Hospital , you're not just set adrift. Your journey back to health is like following a treasure map, and the "X" marks your full recovery. There is some resting and healing to be done. You'll spend a short stint with us post-surgery and then continue recovering at home. You might feel sore, but that's your body's way of saying it's working on getting better.
The Immediate Days After Surgery
Your ship has left the harbor! In the days following surgery, you'll likely feel some discomfort and swelling. But fear not, me hearty! This is normal. We'll prescribe pain medication to ease your journey. Remember, no heavy lifting or strenuous activity-treasure hunting expeditions will have to wait. Follow-up appointments are the lighthouses guiding you to recovery. Don't miss them.
You'll also have specific instructions on caring for your surgical site. Keep it dry and clean to avoid walking the plank into infection waters. Our lines are open at (423) 778-4636 if you spot any red flags, or just need some reassurance.
The Follow-Up: Navigating Long-Term Success
With the right wind in your sails, you'll swiftly steer towards normalcy. Regular check-ups are your compass points-ensure you keep them in sight. We'll monitor your healing and make any needed adjustments. Feeling a tad anxious? That's normal, matey. Just reach out to us, and we'll steer you through those choppy waters.
When you've fully healed, we'll teach you how to operate your new implant. It's a bit like learning to navigate a new ship-but once you've got the hang of it, you'll be sailing with ease in no time.
Rejoining Life on the High Seas
Brace yourself, for soon you'll be ready to embrace life fully again. Follow our guidelines and give yourself time to heal, and you'll be back to your old pirate self before you know it. It's important to gradually ease back into your regular activities. No need for a cannonball dive right back into the deep.
Remember, getting intimate is on the horizon. We'll let you know when it's safe to sail into intimate waters again, but don't rush. Let the tides of healing take their course first.
