Prosthesis For Erectile Dysfunction
There are various traditional, modern, natural, and chemical ways to treat erectile dysfunction. From sexual therapy and surgeries to cord blood stem cell therapy, and now prosthesis has an option to treat erectile dysfunction. Erectile dysfunction is caused by malfunction of the penile muscles due to lack of tissue oxygenation, or blood flow. Kidney diseases, prostate cancer, diabetes, urinary system, spinal cord injuries, and hormonal disturbances too can cause erectile dysfunction. |

Prosthesis has brought sexual satisfaction in men who have erectile dysfunction. This technique employs penile implants either inflatable or malleable to enable the penis function for a moment. A practicing medical doctor under the patient informed consent carries out this operation after preoperative counseling.
The operation involves incision at the penile muscles to insert the malleable and inflated implants. The flexible implants maintain the penis in semi-erect state while the inflated implant maintains the penis erect at the time it is inflated. Though many prefer this treatment as the last resort, prosthesis offers a solution to erectile dysfunction and increasing sexual satisfaction for the affected men.
For the inflated implants, a pump is inserted between the abdominal wall and the perineum to the scrotum while a fluid reservoir is placed behind the abdominal wall. This combination aids in inflating the implant and erect the penis. Most men with erectile dysfunction opt for hydraulic inflatable penile prosthesis since they can have erection at their choice as compared to the semi-solid implanted rods that maintains the penis in semi-erect state all the times.
Penile prosthesis is safe, hygienic, but produces a small unnoticeable scar on the scrotum. The inflated implants give almost a natural erection even though it is for a shorter time. Moreover, they are expensive than the malleable semi-solid rod implants.

Though various remedies have been invented like enzyme inhibitors, penile exercises, and chemotherapies; these remedies are not effective to all individuals. Hence, scientists have devised a medical way to treat erectile dysfunction using cord blood stem cells gene therapy.
