Surgery helps Erectile dysfunction and impotence
There is nothing to worry if you have problems with your erection. There are many medications against erectile dysfunction or impotence. Doctors prescribe impotence drugs like Viagra, Cialis and Levitra that are considered to boost erection.
Apart from the impotence drugs, you can also go for surgery for erectile dysfunction or impotence. Doctors perform surgery to implant a devise in the penis to make it stand erect, to reconstruct the arteries for a better blood flow and to block the veins from leaking the blood from the tissues in the penile region.
The devices that are implanted are called as prostheses. The only drawback of these implants is that they may have mechanical breakdowns. Malleable implants and inflatable implants are the two types of implants that are used. In Malleable implants, a pair of rods is inserted into the corpora cavernosa. In the Inflatable implants, a pair of cylinders is inserted inside the penis.
Blockage can appear in the penis due to the fracture of the penis or injury to the crotch. This blockage can be removed through surgery. Well, it has been seen that the surgery to remove the blockage has not been successful in older people.
Another physical cause of erectile dysfunction or impotencies the leakage of blood through the veins. Surgery helps in blocking the veins, which means that there will not be any leakage of blood from the penile area when the penis is erected. This procedure is not widely used as there are doubts about its success rates.
