Penile Prosthesis

What is Penile Prosthesis?

Penile prosthesis (happiness stick) are implants in silicone structure that are surgically placed into the penis to provide erection in men who cannot provide the necessary hardening (erection) for sexual intercourse.

It has two types: Bendable (One Piece) and Inflatable (Two and Three Pieces). In bendable types, the patient straightens the penis during intercourse and hides it by bending at the end. In inflatable prostheses, the patient inflates the penis with a small pump placed next to the ovaries before intercourse, and deflates it at the end of the intercourse.
