A study of 35 men's adjustment and satisfaction with inflatable penile implant.

"Concern about obtaining and maintaining an erection during intercourse was significantly alleviated. There was an increase in the frequency of sexual activity and an improvement in satisfaction with sex life. A decrease in feelings of sadness, depression, anxiety, anger, frustration, and embarrassment related to sexual activity was also noted."



The elevation of a man's self-esteem and other mental effects might be obvious and prompt a response of "Well, DUH!" one of the researchers' motivations was

"However, others have reported that the penile prosthetic surgery is sometimes followed by psychological disturbances, and many patients continue to have irrational worries about the implant."
