Can Penuma surgery affect the ability to achieve and maintain an erection?

Penuma surgery primarily focuses on increasing penile girth and is not intended to directly affect the ability to achieve and maintain an erection. However, there are a few considerations related to the potential impact of Penuma surgery on erections:

1. Temporary Changes: In the immediate postoperative period, there might be some temporary changes in erectile function due to swelling, healing, and sensitivity. These changes are typically part of the normal healing process.
2. Sensation: Some individuals might experience changes in sensation after Penuma surgery, which could influence sexual arousal and responsiveness.
3. Scar Tissue: The formation of scar tissue as part of the healing process could potentially influence the flexibility of penile tissues, but this is generally a minimal concern.
4. Communication with Surgeon: It’s important to discuss any concerns you might have about erectile function with your surgeon during your consultation. They can provide you with accurate information based on your individual health and anatomy.
5. Recovery Time: It’s important to allow adequate time for healing before resuming sexual activity. Your surgeon will provide specific recommendations about when it’s safe to do so.
6. Individual Variation: Every individual’s response to surgery can be unique. Some individuals might not experience any changes in erectile function, while others might notice temporary changes.
