This is a very personal decision, and our mission is to make sure you make the best choice based on your specific health needs and lifestyle.

Some things to consider include the implant's feel, appearance, and mechanism of action. Erlanger East Hospitalwill guide you through the pros and cons, because the last thing anyone needs is to feel overwhelmed by choices when it comes to their health and confidence.

Let's break it down. There are mainly two types of penile implants: inflatable and malleable (or semi-rigid). Each type has its own benefits.

  • Inflatable implants are more natural-looking and allow for better concealment.
  • Malleable implants are generally simpler and may have fewer mechanical issues.

During your consultation with Anand Shridharani at Erlanger East Hospital , you'll receive comprehensive information on both, allowing for an informed and personal choice that aligns with your needs.

Consultations should never be about one-size-fits-all solutions. That's why our doctors and staff give you the individualized attention you deserve. Here's what to expect:

  • A thorough evaluation of your medical history and ED condition.
  • Open and honest discussion about your expectations and concerns.
