Penile Implants

A penile implant (prosthesis) is a surgically placed device that lets a man achieve reliable erections on demand. For men whose ED does not respond to medication — often after diabetes, prostate surgery or Peyronie’s disease — it is the most dependable long-term solution in modern andrology, with very high satisfaction rates among well-selected patients. Ankur’s surgeons have extensive experience in this surgery and have trained other urologists in the technique.

When to seek help

• ED not responding to tablets or injections
• ED after prostate or pelvic surgery
• Severe Peyronie’s disease with ED
• Desire for a permanent, spontaneous solution

Diagnosis at Ankur

A frank consultation about expectations, examination, and assessment of fitness for surgery. We explain device types (malleable and inflatable), what the erection will feel like, and what surgery and recovery involve — with your partner welcome in the conversation.

Treatment options

Malleable (semi-rigid) implants

Simple, robust and cost-effective — bent into position when needed.

Inflatable implants

The most natural-feeling option: a concealed pump creates the erection and deflates it afterwards.

Day-care surgical pathway

Typically a short procedure with a planned recovery of a few weeks before resuming intimacy.

Revision & complex cases

Experienced management of re-do surgery and implants alongside Peyronie’s correction.

Frequently asked questions

Peyronie’s disease is scar tissue (plaque) in the penis that causes curvature, indentation, shortening or pain with erections. It can make intercourse difficult and quietly erode confidence. It is a physical, treatable condition — and treatment is chosen by stage: early active disease is managed differently from stable curvature.

When to seek help

• A new bend or hourglass indentation in the erect penis
• A firm lump or band felt under the skin
• Pain with erections (early phase)
• Perceived shortening; difficulty with intercourse

Common causes

• Micro-injury and abnormal scar response
• Association with diabetes and Dupuytren’s contracture
• Genetic predisposition in some men

Diagnosis at Ankur

Examination, curvature assessment (photos or in-clinic induced erection) and penile Doppler ultrasound to map the plaque and check blood flow, especially if ED coexists.

Treatment options

Active-phase management

Pain control and medical measures while the disease stabilises; monitoring the curve.

Penile curvature & plaque assessment

The bend measured and the plaque mapped, so the plan is based on the anatomy rather than an impression.

Traction and non-surgical management

Evidence-guided penile traction therapy for suitable curvature.

Injection-based treatment

Selected intralesional treatment where the plaque and stage make it worthwhile.

Surgical correction

Plication or plaque surgery for stable, significant curvature that interferes with intercourse.

Implant with straightening

When Peyronie’s and ED coexist, a penile implant corrects both in one operation.
