This has been discussed before but I'm not sure what you would put in the search to find it. Common response is to get a VED to prevent size loss and knuckle down by stopping any expenses you can and build a savings account. Another is to use a property (home, RV, car, ect,) to secure a loan at a lower interest rate. Rates are up now so this is going to cost you if you can't save the money with cost saving or a part time job. And the other thing is what happens if you need a reoperation? There is a company that has self-pay medical that includes penile implants. They even have insurance for the first year up to a certain amount from a 3rd party company. And it appears that they have financing.
https://surgeo.com/financing Again I would build up as much cash as possible to reduce the amount borrowed. And read the fine print. Early payoff can save a tom of interest if you pay additional dollars at the beginning of the loan. Maybe use 1/2 for the surgery and keep 1/2 and if everything goes well you can pay on the loan. I do not know anything about Surgeo's financing. A local Credit Union or bank might be a better option. You will just have to do the research.
Good luck.
