Erectile dysfunction

Will an implant affect my sensation or orgasm?

Will a penile implant affect sensation or orgasm?

Straight answer

An implant doesn't usually change feeling, orgasm, or ejaculation. It restores the ability to have an erection.

What's involved

Some men notice the penis seems a little shorter, which we discuss beforehand.

When to visit us on Gordon Rd

Book a visit if ED pills or injections haven't worked and you want to discuss an implant; Dr. Chirag Dave, who sees patients at our Marietta office, is one of Advanced Urology's implant surgeons.

For the mountain counties

We welcome Pickens, Gilmer and Fannin residents to our Jasper Clinic, 49 Gordon Rd Suite 103. An operation, when needed, is performed by our urologists in Marietta.

Talking about implants in Jasper

Men from the Jasper area can discuss ED treatment with Dr. Chirag Dave or Dr. Jason Lomboy at our Jasper Clinic. We'll review what you've already tried, your health conditions and your goals, and explain how an implant works with a model in hand.

How our urologists set expectations

Men generally keep the orgasm, ejaculation and sensation they have before surgery. The implant is placed at our Marietta Clinic & Surgery Center, and healing takes several weeks before use.

After surgery, call if

  • Fever develops
  • Redness, swelling or drainage increases
  • Pain grows instead of easing

Common questions

Common questions

Can my partner tell?

The device sits fully inside the body, with the pump in the scrotum, so nothing is visible. Your partner won't know unless you share it.

Is ejaculation affected?

Ejaculation generally continues as before, because the implant doesn't affect the glands that make semen. Men who had a prostatectomy stay dry, as they were before.

Families from Jasper, Ellijay and Talking Rock can call (678) 344-8900.

An implant can also treat Peyronie's disease, and we'll explain how your other health conditions affect planning. Partners are welcome at the consultation, since many questions about how the device feels and works come from them. Our team in Jasper sees you before and after surgery, so you'll have familiar faces through recovery.

We'll explain how the pump works and practice with you at a follow-up visit once healing allows, so using the device feels natural from the start.

Questions are welcome at every visit.

Our clinicians handle these conversations with discretion and care.

The surgery is done through a single small incision and takes about 30 to 45 minutes.
