How much does male prosthesis implantation cost?
The main materials used for male penile prostheses include semi-rigid silicone implants and inflatable silicone implants, with corresponding prices as follows: semi-rigid silicone implants cost 20,000–30,000 yuan per procedure; inflatable silicone implants cost 60,000–80,000 yuan per procedure. Factors influencing the cost of male penile prosthesis implantation include surgical complexity, hospital differences, and geographical location.

Principle |
Surgically implant a semi-rigid silicone prosthesis into the corpora cavernosa of the penis, utilizing its inherent elasticity and rigidity to achieve penile erection. |
Implant the components of an inflatable silicone prosthesis into their respective anatomical locations. When an erection is desired, the patient squeezes a pump in the scrotum, transferring fluid from a reservoir into cylinders within the corpora cavernosa, resulting in penile erection. |

Factors affecting cost:
1. Surgical Complexity: If the procedure is relatively straightforward, the cost will generally be lower. However, if additional complications need to be addressed—such as long-standing erectile dysfunction—the cost may increase.
2. Hospital Differences: Large medical centers typically have more advanced equipment, specialized surgical teams, and comprehensive facilities, leading to higher service charges compared to general hospitals.
3. Geographical Location: In economically developed regions, where medical resources are more concentrated and operational costs are higher, the price of penile prosthesis surgery tends to be higher accordingly.
After penile prosthesis implantation, patients should rest adequately and avoid strenuous physical activity to prevent implant displacement. Potential risks include infection, implant erosion, and mechanical malfunction, which may affect urination and sexual function. Regular follow-up visits are necessary, and any abnormalities should be promptly evaluated by a healthcare provider.
