At Baylor Scott & White Surgical Hospital , our passion is to provide individualized care and attention, because we understand that sexual health is a sensitive and personal aspect of everyone's life. So, when it's time to talk about penile implants - whether you're curious about getting one or contemplating a replacement for an existing device - our expertise shines brightest. Let's dive into the crucial advice on when and how to replace penile implants, ensuring you maintain optimal sexual health.

You might be scratching your head, wondering, "When would I even need to think about replacing a penile implant?" Well, folks, like all good things in life, penile implants come with a shelf life. Our experienced doctors say it's important to recognize the signs so that you can take action and keep your sexual health on point.

If you've got questions, we're here to help! You can easily reach out to us for a chat or to book an appointment. Just pick up the phone and dial (903) 957-1104. Now, let's get the ball rolling!

A penile implant, also known as a penile prosthesis, is a device placed inside the penis to allow men with erectile dysfunction (ED) to get an erection. These devices are designed to be durable and are made from body-friendly materials. However, they aren't built to last forever. Typically, an implant lasts between 10 to 15 years before it might need a touch-up or replacement.

Staying alert to changes in functionality or comfort is key. Our team looks for signs of wear and tear, mechanical problems, or any discomfort you might experience. We can then determine if your implant is still the right fit for you, or if it's time for a new beginning.

Communication is crucial when it comes to recognizing signs that your implant requires attention. If you notice any pain, difficulty in activating the implant, or changes in the way it functions, these could be red flags. Also, if you or your partner notice any unusual changes during intimacy, don't hesitate to let us know.

Our door is always open for discussions about your concerns. The goal is your comfort and satisfaction, so speaking up about any changes is essential for addressing issues quickly and efficiently.

Picking the perfect time for a penile implant replacement isn't about marking a date on the calendar - it comes down to your personal experience with the device. We recommend regular check-ups to ensure the implant is functioning correctly and to discuss any concerns regarding its performance.

If you're feeling unsure, just remember, (903) 957-1104 is only a phone call away. By scheduling a check-up, we can assess if your implant is doing its job or if we need to explore replacement options.

Curiosity is natural! The replacement process is similar to the initial implant surgery but with a few minor adjustments. It involves removing the old device and replacing it with a new, fully functioning implant.

We ensure you're comfortable and informed every step of the way. The experts at Baylor Scott & White Surgical Hospital have honed their techniques to be as minimally invasive as possible. So, take a deep breath and trust that you're in good hands with us!
