Bonus Episode: Dr. Yang on the Cure for Erectile Dysfunction: The Penile Prosthesis

In this segment, Dr. Mistry and Donna Lee are joined by Dr. Christopher Yang to discuss treatment options for erectile dysfunction when the pills aren’t working. Two types of penile prosthesis are available to help patients achieve an erection if other options have failed. The inflatable penile prosthesis is made of a silicon device implanted internally and completely concealed. It is inflated using a pump implanted into the scrotum which, when activated, transfers fluid from a reservoir in your abdomen into the silicon cylinders in your penis to add both length and girth to your erection. The inflated implant produces a rigid and satisfying erection, yet appears natural and soft when not in use. Dr. Yang explains that the inflatable penile prosthesis is an excellent option for addressing a variety of patient concerns from end stage ED to nerve damage from diabetes or neurologic issues. Importantly, long-term ED actually diminishes the length of the penis over time, so the penile implant can actually help ED patients maintain their size.
