MTP #119: Penile Implant Size… Again


In our latest episode, Dr. Paul Perito addresses one of the most common questions that comes up with patients and in discussions online: How will my implant affect my penis size?

Dr. Perito answers this with two basic facts:

  1. Erectile dysfunction causes atrophy of penile tissue. The longer you wait to treat it, the more loss of length and girth will occur. 
  2. The cylinders of penile prostheses have fixed diameters, penises have dynamic diameters that will continue to decline with untreated ED.

A dedicated penile implanter will select the prosthesis most appropriately sized for a patient; it should be as large as is safe for the patient, but not so large that it leads to complications or malfunction.
