Penile implants are medical devices designed to help men with erectile dysfunction (ED) achieve an erection. These devices are implanted surgically and can provide a permanent solution to ED. But, like all medical devices, they require care and attention to maintain their function and your comfort. Our team at Wauwatosa Surgery Center is dedicated to providing the support you need to keep your implant in tip-top shape.

Wauwatosa Surgery Center's commitment to patient satisfaction doesn't stop at the operating room door. By following our care instructions, you'll be well on your way to overcoming the challenges of ED with confidence. Your journey is our journey, and we're here to guide you through every step.

Daily care for your penile implant is easier than you might think. It starts with paying attention to your body and keeping the implant clean. Keeping the genital area clean reduces the risk of infection and ensures that the implant functions as it should. Remember to clean gently to avoid any damage to the implant or surrounding tissue.

Another key aspect of daily care is to check for any signs of infection or malfunction. Redness, swelling, pain, or any unusual discharge should be reported to your doctor immediately. At Wauwatosa Surgery Center , we're only a call away at (414) 476-0430 for questions or concerns about your implant.

Regular exercise can promote good blood flow, which is beneficial not just for your overall health but also for the functionality of your penile implant. In addition, avoiding strenuous activities that may put excessive pressure on your implant, especially shortly after surgery, is important. But once healed, staying active is key!

Eating a balanced diet also contributes to the longevity of your implant. Foods rich in vitamins and minerals can promote healing and reduce the risk of complications. At Wauwatosa Surgery Center , we can help you understand how your lifestyle impacts your implant and guide you towards healthier choices.

Regular appointments with your specialist ensure that your implant is functioning correctly and allows for the early detection of potential issues. These visits are a fundamental part of maintaining your implant's longevity and should not be skipped. Our team at Wauwatosa Surgery Center can schedule regular check-ups to ensure that everything is going as planned.

If you have any doubts or questions between visits, remember that (414) 476-0430 is available for you to reach out. Staying in touch with us will help you feel secure and looked after, which is a big part of the care we provide.

Maintaining a penile implant doesn't have to be a daunting task. With the right daily care routine, you can live confidently and comfortably. Wauwatosa Surgery Center is here to support you in adopting these simple practices that make all the difference. Now, let's go over these routines and the reasons behind each one.

After receiving a penile implant, cleanliness becomes more important than ever. It's critical to gently wash the incision area as instructed by your doctor, and once healed, to maintain regular hygiene habits to keep the area free from infection. We recommend warm water and mild soap, and of course, being gentle to avoid any irritation.

After engaging in any activity that causes sweating or after using the restroom, a quick clean up can help prevent bacteria from causing issues. And if you're ever uncertain about the right way to keep things clean, just give us a call at (414) 476-0430 -we're always here to help!

Being proactive about your health can't be overstated. Part of your daily routine should involve checking your implant area for any changes. This means being on the lookout for discomfort, changes in functionality, or anything that doesn't feel right.

If you notice anything unusual, don't hesitate to contact us immediately. At Wauwatosa Surgery Center , we prioritize your health and wellbeing and are committed to providing assistance whenever you need it.

Physical activity plays a crucial role in your overall health and the health of your implant. Once your doctor has given the green light post-surgery, engaging in moderate exercise can improve circulation and help maintain implant functionality. Whether it's a brisk walk or a session of gentle stretches, movement is beneficial.

Of course, it's important to avoid any activities that could potentially damage the implant. If you're uncertain about what exercises are safe, we encourage you to give us a shout. Our team is always ready to guide you through proper exercise routines that will benefit you without risking your implant's integrity.

Your relationship with your healthcare provider doesn't end after the surgery. Regular follow-up visits are a vital component of post-implant care. These check-ins allow your doctor to ensure that the implant is functioning well and catch any issues early, which is key to a successful outcome.

Making these appointments might not always be at the top of your list of fun things to do, but they're as important as brushing your teeth! And at Wauwatosa Surgery Center , we strive to make these visits as pleasant and hassle-free as possible.

Your journey with a penile implant is about regaining freedom and enjoying life to the fullest. With proper care, you can maximize its benefits and minimize any potential issues. Ensuring the longevity of your implant is a team effort between you and us at Wauwatosa Surgery Center . Let's explore how you can make the most of your implant.

Knowledge is power, and staying informed about your implant is essential. This means understanding how it works, the dos and don"ts of daily care, and being well-prepared for any eventuality. At Wauwatosa Surgery Center , we provide comprehensive education on every aspect of your implant.

Being prepared also means having a plan in case of an emergency. Know who to call, where to go, and what to do if something doesn't feel right. Write down any questions you have between visits so you can have them answered when you meet with your doctor.

It's not all about the physical side of things. The emotional aspects of living with a penile implant are just as significant. If you're feeling anxious, stressed, or just need someone to talk to, we're here for you. Emotional wellbeing is part of the care we provide, and we take it very seriously.

Joining support groups, talking with others who have gone through similar experiences, and staying connected with friends and family can also help you manage the emotional side of your recovery and maintenance.

Communication with your partner is another essential aspect of living with a penile implant. Open dialogues can help manage expectations and build a supportive relationship that accommodates the changes you're experiencing.

Discussing what feels good, what doesn"t, and any changes in sexual function or sensation will help you both adapt and find new ways to enjoy intimacy. Wauwatosa Surgery Center can offer advice on how to broach these conversations if you're finding it challenging.

Consistency is the foundation of any good care routine. It's crucial to stick to the recommended daily maintenance plan and follow your doctor's advice. Skipping steps or becoming lax in your care can lead to complications that are easily avoidable with a little discipline.
