Disadvantages of the Penile Prosthesis
• Penis is not completely flaccid as you undergo the implants as there is a rod present in it.
• During the sex penis may not be as strong and firm as it was during the natural erection.
• The penetration becomes awkward as the glands don’t enlarge along with the penis enlargement.
• Sometimes even an unusual bend is noted in the penis due to the malfunctioning of the penile rods and cylinder inserted in the penis.
