In this episode of Below The Belt, Dr. Christopher Love explains that penile implants or prostheses are the best way to restore erections in any man, no matter what the cause of his erection problem. Unlike other treatments that only enable an erection, penile implants fix the underlying problem. A penile implant is a device that goes inside the penis, just like an inner tube in a car tire. It can be filled with fluid and pressure, which builds up to give a hard penis. The cylinders are connected to a little reservoir of fluid inside the body near the bladder and a pump inside the scrotum, between the testicles. When you pump the device, the fluid flows into the cylinders, and it gets harder. Once you have learned how to use it, you can have a rock-hard erection within 20 or 30 seconds. It is almost like the real thing and stays up until you release the little valve, which allows the fluid to come from the penis back to the reservoir.
