Evaluation and treatment of Potency (Ability to have intercourse)
Sexual problems belong to the group of conditions known as psychosomatic disorders, in which the body expresses the distress via a symptom, such as low libido. Symptoms can be the result of physical (somatic) and/or psychological/relationship factors.
All psychosexual problems can be “primary”, meaning that the problem has been there since the start of sexual experience, or “secondary”, when there was a period of normal functioning before the problem began.
The most common male sexual problems are:
1. Premature ejaculation
2. Erectile dysfunction.
3. Peyronie’s disease
4. Low libido
5. Ejaculation problems including retrograde, delayed and painful ejaculation.

Penile Prosthesis
Penile prosthesis are cylindrical structures either semi rigid or inflatable silicone implants placed in penis to achieve successful penetrative intercourse.
