Episode Overview
On this episode of the Sexology Podcast I’m joined by Dr. Jeffrey Loh-Doyle as we talk about penile implants, what the process is like, and who might be a good candidate for the procedure. If you’re struggling, there is a solution out there.
During this episode we talk specifically about what’s involved in the surgery, life after surgery and how this surgery can impact your life. Those who receive the penile implant surgery are required to wait four weeks to resume sexual activity post-surgery. After four weeks., they may resume normal activity. Most individuals don’t experience difficulty unless they use it roughly or don’t use it for extensive periods of time.
Most ED treatments are not covered by insurance, which is counter intuitive. Yet, surgery is typically covered by insurance. This surgery is not considered cosmetic. It’s a functional, quality of life operation. If you need this, don’t be afraid of this.
