How does a penile implant work?
A penile implant comes in three different forms. There is a malleable variety. There is a two piece and three piece variety. The two piece and three piece varieties are inflatable. With the inflatable penile implants a small bulb-like object is implanted along with the prosthesis which is the pump, so to speak. This pump is squeezed approximately 5 to 6 times and the prosthesis enlarges and becomes firmer in nature. The malleable penile implant, on the other hand, is a bendable prosthesis which when ready for use for intercourse is bent into the erect position and when no longer needed for intercourse, is bent away so it can be put inside of the undergarments.
