Before we jump into care routines, let's understand the basics. A penile implant, also known as a penile prosthesis, is a medical device placed inside the penis through surgery. It's designed to help men who have erectile dysfunction (ED) that hasn't responded to other treatments. The goal is to restore sexual function and help you regain confidence in your intimate life.

Peoria Day Surgery Center is proud to offer state-of-the-art implants that mirror the natural process of getting an erection as closely as possible. However, like with any medical device, ensuring longevity and proper function is all about taking the right steps after your procedure. That's where our guidelines and Peoria Day Surgery Center's expert advice come into play. We help you navigate through the care process seamlessly.

Immediately following surgery, your doctor will give you specific instructions for recovery. It's crucial to stick to these guidelines to prevent complications and encourage healing. Peoria Day Surgery Centeris always on standby to help if you're unsure about any steps. Just grab the phone and dial (309) 692-9898 for assistance.

Typically, you'll be advised to take it easy for a few weeks, limit physical activity, and monitor the surgical site for any signs of infection. Pain management will also be a priority, and you'll be prescribed medication to help with that. Remember, healing is the first step to ensuring your implant functions well for a long time.

Once you've recovered from surgery, the focus shifts to long-term care of your implant. Regular check-ups are part of this phase. These visits allow your doctor to ensure that the implant is functioning correctly and that there aren't any issues. It's also an opportunity for you to discuss any concerns or changes you've noticed.

Additionally, you'll be given tips on how to operate your implant. This might feel a little strange at first, but with a bit of practice, it'll become second nature.
