For men with long-standing erectile dysfunction (ED) who no longer respond to medication, shockwave therapy, or PRP, penile implant surgery offers the most reliable and permanent solution. Penile implants restore the ability to achieve firm, natural-looking erections on demand — without pills, injections, or external devices.
Bangkok is one of Asia’s leading destinations for penile implant surgery thanks to its experienced urologists, high-quality medical devices, and affordable costs compared to Western countries.
This guide explains what penile implant surgery is, the implant options available, how the procedure works, recovery expectations, and why many men choose Bangkok for treatment.
What Is Penile Implant Surgery?
A penile implant (penile prosthesis) is a device placed inside the penis to allow a man to achieve a dependable erection suitable for intercourse. It is the most definitive treatment for severe or treatment-resistant ED.
