• It is mostly seen in elderly patients due to ease of use.
• It is not recommended for diabetics cause providing permanent erection, it may cause injury to the tip of the penis.

2) Two-Piece Penile Implant:

• Since it does not have reservoirs, it is not possible for it to expand transversely and longitudinally.
• It can expand as much as the width of its cylindrical structure.
• It does not provide nonstop erections like semirigid penile prosthesis, but it does not look as natural as a 3-piece "happiness stick".

3) Three-Piece Penile Prosthesis:

• The most common one among inflatable prostheses is the 3-piece one.
• It has body cylinders, pump, and reservoir in its structure.
• It can expand not only transversely, but also both widthwise and lengthwise.
• The answer to the question of "how the 3-piece penile implant works" is “by squeezing the pump 5-6 times during sexual intercourse, the liquid fills the cylinder from the chamber in the abdomen and thus erection is experienced”.
• After the sexual act, the "happiness stick" is lowered by pressing the button on the pump.

Before having any penile prosthesis, if the patient has a disease such as prostate, diabetes, high blood pressure, and urinary tract infection, it should be treated.

"What is the cost of a penile implant?"
