Penile Implant for Men with Diabetes in New York City
Dr. Alex Shteynshlyuger is an experienced surgeon who performs penile implant insertion for men with diabetes for the treatment of erectile dysfunction.
Men with diabetes have several options for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. Oral medications, PDE5 inhibitors, such as Cialis (tadalafil), Viagra (sildenafil), Stendra (avanafil), and Levitra are effective for many men with diabetes.
Shockwave therapy for ED is a proven option that helps many men with diabetes to obtain better erections with and without medications. For men in whom oral medications do not work well, penile injections with Edex or Trimix are often an effective alternative treatment option.
Men who desire to have more spontaneity and predictability may choose a penile implant as an effective and reliable treatment option for erectile dysfunction.
What Does Penile Implant Do for Diabetic Patients?
A penile implant helps men to obtain hard erections that are sufficient for penetration. The penile implant does not improve libido or sexual interest, and it does not treat diabetic neuropathy or decreased sensation that may accompany erectile dysfunction. The penile implant does not treat ejaculation problems such as lack of ejaculation or premature ejaculation.
Did you know? Dr. Shteynshlyuger has performed over 1,000 penile surgeries including circumcisions, circumcision revisions, frenuloplasty, penile implants, correction of Peyronie’s disease and congenital penile curvature. He performs 150-200 penile surgeries a year.
Effectiveness and Satisfaction of Penile Implant in Men with Diabetes
Studies show that diabetic men with erectile dysfunction report 80 to 90 percent satisfaction with a penile implant as a treatment option. Similarly, high satisfaction rates are reported for patients’ partners.
Erections obtained from a penile implant look and feel as natural as possible. However, some men who have had erection problems for a long period of time may have lost penile length as a result of erectile dysfunction. The penile implant will not restore lost penile length. However, studies show that with penile implant cycling and the use of an expandable penile implant, such as the AMS-700 LGX penile implant, men who have lost penile length may regain some of the lost length over time.
Preparation for Penile Implant for Men with Diabetes
Penile implant surgery is typically performed in a surgical center or hospital as a same-day procedure, or the patient may need to stay in the hospital for 1 to 2 days after surgery.
Diabetic men are advised to improve their diabetes control to minimize the risk of postoperative penile implant infection. Ideally, hemoglobin A1c should be less than 7.5. Patients with poorly-controlled diabetes may want to consult an endocrinologist. Patients who are taking insulin may want to consider using an insulin pump, which is associated with improved control of diabetes.
Penile Implant Options for Men with Diabetes
At New York Urology Specialists, we take an individualized approach to choosing the best option for each patient, keeping in mind each patient’s characteristics and preferences.
For younger men and men with good manual dexterity, a three-piece inflatable penile implant, such as the AMS-700 or the Coloplast Titan penile prosthesis, is the preferred treatment option. A three-piece penile implant produces the most natural-looking erections and natural feeling of the penis.
For patients with limited manual dexterity (difficulty performing fine manipulation with their fingers), inflating the pump of the three-piece inflatable penile prosthesis may prove to be challenging. Therefore, for men with arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, gout affecting the hand, hand contracture, or history of stroke making it difficult to use two hands, a malleable two-piece penile implant is often a good option.
For men of advanced age, choosing a malleable penile implant may be advisable. In our experience, many men of advanced age who are currently in good shape and have good manual dexterity may find themselves with worsening ability to manipulate the implant a few years after implantation, due to aging. For this reason, men of advanced age may consider getting a semirigid implant, depending on their overall health status.
The Durability of Penile Implants in Men with Diabetes
The mechanical durability of penile implants in men with diabetes is similar to that of other men. Over 75 percent of men do not require any revisions, and the penile implant works well 15 years after implantation.
Men with diabetes, in particular, those with poor diabetic control, are at a high risk of experiencing an early or delayed penile implant infection. We minimize the chances of postoperative infection by using appropriate antibiotics during surgery and impregnating the implant with antibiotics, which minimizes infectious complications. The risk of complications is increased in diabetic men with renal insufficiency or on dialysis. For this reason, we encourage our patients to work with their endocrinologist and primary care doctors to improve the control of diabetes preoperatively.

I saw the reviews about this place and was very hesitant to go but something was telling me to go with them and I don't regret it at all, the doctor did a great job and helped me understand the process plus the staff was amazing I would highly recommend it to anyone! quick story after the procedure I was in soo much pain and called the office on a SUNDAY, the doctor gave me a call back within 15 minutes and prescribed a stronger medication, to me that meant a lot for the doctor to take time from his day on a Sunday to help me.

I have been observed by Dr. Alex for many years and I must say that he is a highly qualified diagnostician, and also several times I have received qualified microsurgical assistance and very useful advice. The only reason I put 4 with a plus is a somewhat long wait for the reception.

Overall, it was a good experience. Dr. Shteynshlyuger (Dr. Alex) was very nice, warm and helpful. He performed a Shang Ring circumcision for me and the procedure went well. I'm pleased with the results and there were no complications. If anyone is interested in the shang ring circumcision in the tristate area, then I'd recommend him. The whole procedure is $1850, which includes the initial consultation (provided that ther are no complications) and every follow up visit up to six months.
