  ::: Answer
1 How does an erection take place?
The interior of the penis is formed by three sectors, a spongy body that contains the urethra (conduit where the urine flows) which ends in the gland and 2 cavities called cavernous bodies responsible for the erection, which are very rich in blood vessels.

When the penis is in the state of rest, these cavernous bodies are slightly full of blood, but on having received sexual stimulation, the brain sends signs so that the cavernous bodies fill with blood and the exit floodgates close, and in this way the penis becomes more and more rigid.

When the signs that the brain sends are discontinuous (example: neurological injuries) or the blood flow is insufficient (example: vascular injuries) or the erectile tissue is damaged, the erection is weak or nonexistent.

3 What patient can received penis prosthesis treatment?
The first thing to do is perform a correct diagnosis, for which the interview with the doctor is essential. The treatment must be categorized from minor to major and adapted for every particular case.

It is necessary in the first instance for the patient to undergo psychological therapy and medical treatment of the base illnesses that predispose them to an erectile malfunction; for example: Diabetes, Hipercolesterolemia, etc.

Then to implement a first-line therapy with oral medications, like for example: Sildenafil or Tadalafil.

In case that this therapy is insufficient or does not work or is contraindicated for presenting cardiologic pathology, it is possible to try an intracavernosa therapy with glass substances you activate or devices of gap

The placement of a penis prosthesis is one more alternative in the set of therapeutic tools we have, which we reserve for those patients who have failed in other kinds of therapies.
