What should i do if my penile implant is beginning to break through the skin?

Erosion of implant: If you're penile implant is breaking (or eroding) through the skin, this is an emergency situation. You need to see your urologist (or go to the emergency room) immediately. The implant will need to be removed surgically and you will need antibiotics. The decision for a new penile implant is managed on an individual basis.

Penile Implant: Implant problems. New penile implant designs are reliable, but in rare cases the implants might malfunction. Surgery is necessary to remove, repair or replace a broken implant.

See urologist ASAP..: If so, your penile prosthesis has eroded through its encasing tissue. For such, you should see the original surgeon if still available or whoever be available to you. Remember: life is a process of constant struggle to cope with reality, certainty, &uncertainty of daily living for survival, growth, &continuation. So, see and move on.
