Key Takeaways:
- Penile implants are not exclusive to post-cancer patients – they can also be used to treat men with spinal cord injury, severe diabetes, and vascular diseases.
- Penile implants may be more effective than injections or medications for patients with severe diabetes or vascular diseases.
- Advanced Urology Institute is a leading urological practice that provides state-of-the-art treatments for erectile dysfunction.
In the realm of urology, pioneering approaches have ushered in a new dawn for erectile dysfunction treatment. One such breakthrough is the use of penile implants. Now, while you may be conjuring daunting images of the procedure, hold on to your preconceived notions a bit longer. Dr. Rishi Modh, an accomplished urologist based in St Petersburg, FL, invites you to better understand this innovative treatment method.
Penile Implants: Not Just Post-Cancer Treatment
“Penile implant is not always for men who have had prostate cancer,” shares Dr. Modh, as he counters the common perception. Can you picture the relief for men who have been denied the joys of intimacy due to a myriad of health conditions? It isn’t exclusively a post-cancer solution – there’s a wider spectrum of beneficiaries.
“We have men who have spinal cord injury or we have men who have severe diabetes,” says Dr. Modh. Given his extensive experience with Advanced Urology Institute, the largest urology practice in Florida, Dr. Modh has treated a plethora of patients afflicted with these conditions.
Unignorable Catalysts: Diabetes and Vascular Disease
Circling back to the implications of diabetes and vascular disease, Dr. Modh delves into the specifics. “That’s actually one of our most common causes of erectile dysfunction,” he shares.
Typical injections or medications for erectile dysfunction may not work for everyone, especially when dealing with severe diabetes and vascular diseases. Their efficacy is often unreliable, rendering them ineffective for these sufferers.
A Success Story: Penile Implant as a Life-Altering Intervention
This daunting reality brings us to the story of a 45-year-old gentleman who overlooked his diabetes for years. Faced with severe erectile dysfunction, he spent years navigating painful options, medications, and injections—all which proved ineffective—before turning to Dr. Modh and the Advanced Urology Institute professionals.
“After years of trying medications, injections, and other painful options, he finally elected for a penile prosthesis,” explained Dr. Modh. His decision to undergo a penile implant treatment not only transformed his quality of life but also restored the lost intimacy in his relationship. “It has restored his quality of life and him and his wife are extremely happy with their outcome,” Dr. Modh added, illustrating the success story of the treatment.

My name is Rishi Modh. I’m a board-certified urologist with Advanced Urology Institute. Penile implant is not always for men who have had prostate cancer. We have men who have spinal cord injury or we have men who have severe diabetes. That’s actually one of our most common causes of erectile dysfunction is going to be diabetes and vascular disease. So for those people, sometimes our typical treatments of injections or medications are either not reliable or don’t work at all. I have a gentleman who’s 45 years old and he unfortunately ignored his diabetes for for many years and didn’t want to address it and unfortunately left him with severe erectile dysfunction. After years of trying medications, injections and other painful options, he finally elected for a penile prosthesis. It has restored his quality of life and him and his wife are extremely happy with their outcome.
