inflatable penile prosthesis
An inflatable penile prosthesis is a medical device implanted into the penis to help men with erectile dysfunction achieve an erection. It consists of three parts: two cylinders inserted into the penis, a control pump placed in the scrotum, and a fluid reservoir in the abdomen. When the man squeezes the pump, fluid moves from the reservoir into the cylinders, causing the penis to harden. To return to a flaccid state, the man presses a release valve on the pump. This device provides a natural-feeling, reliable solution for restoring erectile function when other treatments haven't been successful.
