PENIS ENLARGEMENT BY IMPLANTS

Definition
Some men with chronic impotence consider having a penile implant. These implants are also known as penile prostheses.

Description
Most cases of impotence stem from physiologic causes that alter the blood flow through the penis. Often this is due to nerve or blood vessel damage from diabetes, atherosclerosis, pelvic surgery, prostate surgery, alcohol, or medications. Other causes are mainly psychological, although psychological distress may be a result of impotence.

Penile prostheses are one form of treatment for erectile dysfunction. They are implanted directly into the paired corporal bodies in the penis.
